So yesterday night witnessed the graduation of over 600 West Ranch High School seniors. While truly a momentous event, the reality of ending a significant portion of my life did not strike home until, well, I was at home, sitting at my computer with nothing to do.
Then I suppose I realized that I wouldn’t see the vast majority of my fellow students again, even those that would be going to the East coast for college like me. And I realized that these people, despite my opinions of them, had shaped my world for the past four years, and in many cases since the beginning of my effective memory. A world without them seems unimaginable. Perhaps it is the fear of the unknown that caused me to feel so queasy and un-normal last night - the unknown world without these teenagers.
And as a solution, to my feeling of internal emptiness, I sought the comfort of the refrigerator. This is quite a habit of mine; in the few moments that I have become emotionally distressed, I seek to fill my psychological feelings with gorging myself on the physical. Although I know that thsi doesn’t work, and only makes me feel bloated afterwards, i always do it.
But then sleep solved all my problems. I woke up this morning tired, but at least my emotional troubles were gone. If everything were as easy as this…
Tomorrow, Thursday May 28th, marks my official last day of school. Unfortunately I have to do work in Spanish class, because it’s not a senior class, which is rather sad because the immaturity of underclassmen is unbelievably high, and I have to present a final project in Computer Science, which is not complete LOL. And I don’t even have the files to work on it tonight. Oh well.
Today was basically poker and yearbook signing…lots of fun. But honestly, after AP testing, all AP classes should be like that. Sigh.
And I also began running again, getting up at 6 to do so…but after two days I’ve decided to switch my pedestrian habits to the evening - same temperature, more sleep.
Today was my last AP test ever; I had to late-test AP Computer Science A. Boo.
Anyway, I have graduation on Friday the 29th, and Memorial Day the 25th, which basically means that I have three days of school, subtracting tomorrow because I’m getting my wisdom teeth pulled.
Yay for the end of school, except I have an SAT Subject Test for Spanish June 6th.
I would now like to officially thank Wordpress for delivering such a great, free service to all the users of the world. One feature I am particularly enamored of is the ability to control who can post on your blog; not only does this remove the need to constantly monitor one’s blog for spam, it also allows the creator to effectively remove all vestiges of unsavory posts. Thanks!
Today marked the last day of AP testing for the rest of my life. Oh wait, I have a late test next Thursday for Computer Science A. That’s going to be fun…
But I think that this effectively marks the end of my high school career, given that the next two weeks of school are basically a joke. The last is grad night, meaning that absolutely nothing is done, and all my classes are APs, so that if I somehow get assigned homework, I will be extremely surprised.
Shall I maintain my streak of 5’s? Nobody knows, but it does certainly mean that I need to study CS…boo.
