I AM FUCKING DONE WITH HIGH SCHOOL.

do you know what the craziest part is? it still hasn’t sunk in that i’m never going attend a class brighton high school. i’m never going to another homeroom. i’m never going to rush to get from the 4th floor south to 1st floor north in 5 minutes. i’m never going to cram in a lunch between said passing time. i’m never going to sit in front of my locker watching the office on my ipod. i’m never going to arrive at school at 6:55am and wait in the cafeteria for school to begin at 7:45am. i’m never going to drive to the mall 3rd and 4th periods with my friends just to go to the food court because we can never pick a place everyone likes. i’m never going to walk to the church next door to catch a ride with melissa to work at 2:45. i’m never going to sneak a dr pepper into the library and drink it behind my textbook. i’m never going to score extra tator tots from that cafeteria lady. i’m never going to get another pass out of class from mrs. o’brien for no reason. i’m never going to walk to twelve corners plaza from school to buy gum. i’m never going to be able to sit with my friends outside as a big group doing nothing at all. i’m never going to another gym class. i’m never going to get yelled at for wearing sunglasses during class. and most of all, i’m never going to easily get good grades ever again.

i liked high school. i LOVED high school. i think it’s probably going to be the best part of my life. see you around, brighton high.

ETA: there it goes, it just sunk in. thanks a lot, blog.

OMG. THE LAST DAY OF HIGH SCHOOL EVER FOR ME IS TOMORROW.

i added the caps for emphasis, but i’m not really feeling the capslock actually. it hasn’t really sunk in yet. i’m sure it will tomorrow. i’m a little nervous for when it does though, i know i’m going to be very sad.

i finished my multi-lit project today! hooray! hurrah! huzzah!

finally finished my ussr/smirnoff site for multicultural lit! it’s been a blast making this. man, school work has never been so much fun!

take a look and tell me if anything looks wrong on your end. comm/crit welcome!

so, this morning was the awards assembly. i really wanted to sleep in and come to school after the assembly, since i wasn’t get an award, but my mom said she had work.

BUT…
i did get an award. when i friggin’ asked my mom yesterday if i was getting one, she shrugged the question off and i took no notice. turns out my whole family has known for two months! i walked into the gymnasium and i saw my dad, mom, sister, and grandparents sitting in the parents section, and after thinking about it, i put two and two together and came to the conclusion that THEY TRICKED ME THIS WHOLE TIME.

it was an award for “excellence in spanish,” which makes this my second spanish award. and you know what’s weird about that? i don’t even like spanish! i like physics, and math. i’m good at those subjects, pro’ly even better, but nope, no awards for those. well, any award is better than none at all, yes? lol.

so guess what my multi-lit teacher wrote in response to my email about my project? she said, and i quote, “AWESOME IDEA!” so this is basically turning into the best project ever. i just need to find some good USSR/CCCP images for my header…

our last chorus concert was tonight! it wasn’t our best, but it was by far the most memorable. we had our senior party beforehand, and we watched videos of us since 6th grade (did you know i had a solo in 6th grade? seems i blocked it out of my memory). it was weird, i had blonde hair in middle school. performance-wise, we were pretty so-so. but ’sol good, because it’s our last concert, and for that reason it was awesome. plus mark the accompanist signed my yearbook. he’s like seriously the coolest guy i know.

so i think you’re going to have to wait for the weekend for the posts about the past weekend. sorry about that.

i have decided that i’m not going to post every day anymore. basically, i’m trying to get ready for college life by starting good habits (i actually make my bed now, it’s crazy). having “posting on my blog” on my priorities list isn’t very beneficial for me, so i’m chucking that. i’ll post often though, but only when i have something to say. but who knows, i might keep posting every day anyway : )

i’m almost done with my multi-lit project. i just have to do a rewrite/proofwrite of my critical lens essay, and do the “creative portion.” tomorrow i’m going to ask my teacher if making a website would be an acceptable project for this section, because i’m having problems thinking of something i can do for it that i’m actually good at.

ETA: LOLBOTS!

okay, i promise i’ll update the past two day’s posts asap. i’ve been at home a grand total of one day the entire weekend, and that was today (and i spent 3 hours of that at the movies seeing potc 3 again with dinah, which was just as awesome the second time as it was the first time). it’s been a whirlwind of activities that involve me not going to bed until 3-4ish, which is awesome and annoying at the same time.

i wrote my critical lens essay for my mult-lit final project today! that’s 50% of the grade, so i’m feeling pretty good. in america, you write critical lenses. in soviet russia, critical lenses write YOU!

i just got home from senior banquet/bash. i’ll update and backdate this post when i get home from springfest tomorrow.

but for now, g’night, it’s 2:50am and i have to get up in 5 hours (seniors get to sleep late on springfest!).

so today was basically an awesome day.

(1) the fire alarm went off during my physics test, so we all got a nice break from the utter boredom to go outside, where it was 92 degrees out. gah, i hate summer.

(2) i already finished my spanish final project, so i spent the period working on my multi-lit final project.

(3) in multi-lit i spent the whole period pretending to work on my final project. ironic, ain’t it?

(4) i already finished my art sculpture, so i spent the period trying to teach jon how to do the rubik’s cube, plus trying to explain springfest to mike. i wish them both luck.

(5) when i was working on my mulit-lit project in the computer lab later in the day, my physics teacher’s class came in. while they were working we talked for a bit, and he said he wishes he had switched me into AP physics at the beginning of the year, because he thinks i would have done really well (this might have something to do with the 99% final averages i had every single quarter). he said i should definitely take calculus and physics when i sign up for classes in college, because then i’d learn real stuff, not this “kind of realistic but not really” stuff that we learn in high school.

today feels like it’s been forever. i worked on so much of my final projects today, i’m quite amazed with myself. i completely finished my spanish powerpoint and assessment plus the notes for my slides. and then i finished the entire culture part of my multicultural lit. project. also, during school i bookmarked half my book where quotes i plan to use in my essay are (i would have done more tonight, but an entire bottle of hair product spilled on my [library] book when i was downstairs, so it’s drying right now). plus my yakov smirnoff poster came in the mail today.

have you ever walked somewhere and have someone honk their horn at you (someone you know, obvs), and you get in their car while they are stopped at an intersection? seems pretty dangerous, yes? imagine the crossing guard telling you to hurry up and get in, as opposed to yelling at you for even thinking about running into the street. now imagine there are three of you, and the two seats up front are full. and now imagine that it’s 7:32 in the morning. good times.

yesterday and today were fire drill day (happy fire drill day!), as we had two every day. that means it’s nice out finally in rochester.

so there’s this game at my school called “powerball,” which was invented by the gym teachers. basically it’s soccer, volleyball, tennis, hockey, and basketball mixed together. it’s played on half a tennis court, with a volleyball. there are two goals with a huge crease that goes around the goals, like in hockey. if you step into the crease while shooting, no goal is scored and possession is given to the other team. you can either dribble the ball like it’s a soccer ball, or like it’s a basketball, and you can switch between the two. stealing is allowed. there is a different line on the crease to shoot from depending if you are kicking it in or throwing it (my preferred method, as i can throw really hard). goalies can use any parts of their bodies in order to block. the game is in constant motion, so when someone scores a goal the goalie throws or punts it in and the game continues.

basically, it’s the best sport ever invented. last class i got 8 goals, and today i got 11. my team is undefeated. we have a killer offense, which i am a part of. i have scored more goals than my entire team combined. my two fellow offenders (is that the right term?) are really good at passing, and have got the pass-pass-shoot move down. our midfielder is crazy as hell and never seems to lose energy, even though she’s constantly running the whole game. our defenders are awesome, and we have the best goalie in the class, she let in two goals total today, and we played 3 games.
