My high school career has finally drawn to a close, and I decided that its denouement merits an actual update on my life (for documentation purposes, if nothing else). I don't write in journals or diaries anymore so this will do for now.
Graduation was a nervous night, but the graduation party that followed on Saturday made up for it. It was more of a family affair than anything else, but I have pretty cool, fun relatives, so it was a happy day. I am always amazed (and humbled) by the generosity of my family and close friends. They supported me through high school and I can't thank them enough. The end of graduation weekend brought with it the ultimate relief from senioritis, stress, and overcrowded schedules:
SUMMER.
I'm spending mine working a little at the pool, fervently trying to learn more songs on mandolin, and doing LOTS of hanging out. More than usual. I'm also getting a bicycle rack soon to alleviate my urge to ride my bike everywhere. Want to ride with me? I want to ride with you.
I have a month and a half left of this before:
1. Science camp, which is in West Virginia. I don't really have any idea what to expect, but I was told to bring my mandolin so it shouldn't be all bad. After a month in the Appalachians, I will return to Cabot for three all-too-short weeks of
2. College preparation, or the final countdown. I have so many things to clean, pack, buy, and move. The real task will be celebrating my final weeks living in Cabot with my friends and making sure that I go to Hendrix with a good taste in my mouth, so to speak. Leaving behind certain people will be a miserable affair. And finally, on August 16th, the most anticipated day of my life thus far arrives:
3. Move-in Day at Hendrix. Then the real excitement begins.
