I think I heard the word “graduation” butchered more times yesterday than I have in my entire life. Gradumacation, gradjeeyation, gorducation… blah :p
Everything went pretty well… I didn’t really care much for the speeches (except for Mr. McCollum’s… he’s always funny!) but consoled myself with the fact that I was almost done. I was so proud… I didn’t trip on my robe or knock my hat off when I flipped my tassel! Still, for only 21 graduates, we have one of the longest ceremonies EVER. Blah. But now it’s all done— and I’m free!
I got the coolest graduation gift from Kasey and Kaitlin… this huge multi-back-rubber thing… they know me too well :p After I showed it to people, they came to the general consensus that I needed to try it out immediately 
But I also got a pair of Bose QuietComfort2 Noise-Canceling headphones from Mom and Dad. These things are NICE. Paired with my newly purchased Creative Audigy 2 ZS Platinum… mmmmmm 
And I just walked out of my AP French exam 30 minutes ago… a free man. Wow. Do I look older? Sound older? ‘Cause I’m a high school graduate! :p Must… party… by… going and playing minigolf or something lol
Emily is gorgeous. And I don’t tan.
Well, so far so good. I’ve taken four of my six AP tests. But wait, I hear you say. Shouldn’t you have taken five by this point? Well, yes, actually. Here’s what happened.
Monday… first AP. French. I didn’t take French this year (because I can take either French or government, but not both) but I still wanted to take the AP because I figured I could at least get a 3. So I went with Jeff to the mall for an hour or so to talk some French and get warmed up. Got back about 11:30, and Dad met me at the door. He was like “Well, you’re not taking the French AP today, sorry.” It turned out that the French teacher didn’t order me one, and the office somehow forgot that I told them I wanted one. It’s all kinda fuzzy. Oh well, I get to take the makeup on the 19th.
Tuesday was Computer Science in the morning, and Stats in the afternoon, both of which were pretty easy. I would talk about them, but that might lead to the AP people coming after me and bludgeoning me in my bed. English Literature was Thursday, and Biology was today. Biology was the hardest one so far.
The musical went quite well tonight. No one dropped any important lines and all the cues were it. I LOVE the Hot Box dancers and Elizabeth is still my hero onstage. If it weren’t for the demon-possessed microphones, I would have had a good time. I had gotten all six working, no feedback, nothing… and then they start the musical and WHAM! #2 dies, #4 buzzes, and #6 dies after it’s dropped, grr.
So we’re playing at something called the Bike Blessing (meeting of the CMA) on Sunday at 9:00, but it’s in Frontenac so we gotta leave by 6:45. So we need to practice tomorrow. Nate’s playing drums for G’n'D, so we had to move his drums back home tonight. Except it’s raining. And except he left the DOOR open to the van and then went to Steak ‘n’ Shake, leaving me with the rained-on mess. Blah, I just finished cleaning it up. It’s so depressing… so much water. I hope I got enough that it doesn’t ruin his drums.
