yay i'm back...
i haven't been online in a week... but at least i had something to do to keep me from going insane
my mom came on tuesday, but i didn't get to go get her at the airport. i took my easy chemistry regents and walked home and it was the hottest day of the year (at that point) and it was kinda gross. then kathleen called and i talked to her on the phone for a good hour <3 and then talked on the phone with jesse for about 15 minutes <3, and then my mommy and nell came home, and we went shopping. that's pretty much all we did tuesday through thursday, until my aunt debi and grandma wood came
so anyway, i (actually, my mom) got me and kathleen some stuff for our apartment, like palm tree dishes and glasses and a welcome mat, etc, etc, etc, and a TV! yay for tv
we had the bbq on friday night, and borgsede and kathleen came, and kjersten stopped by for a few minutes. mostly we just ate and sat around in my now air condtioned room. mmm air conditioning. her and her mom got me giant tiki patio lights (that took me and borgstede forever to put together because we're retarded), a train ticket good for ten trips (which i love because of course that's going to be extremely useful come august), and graduation socks (that i meant to wear on graduation but i totally forgot). then came our SECRET MISSION (as i've seen borstede and kathleen calling it), which involved us going to a church at 11 at night to make a conterfeit ticket for my graduation... and it WORKED... and they TOOK IT at graduation
kathleen... borgstede... next year i'm gonna get one of ashley's tickets and we're going to make like, fifty and give them to people just so that we can see like, the overflow of 50 people in the auditorium
graduation was fun. i didn't cry like i said i would, but seeing other people cry was cute. as i was walking down the aisle i saw my mom in the front and i hugged and kissed her and my sister, aunt, and other grandma started crying because i was the only one who hugged their mom on the way down. i almost cried when hannah, the salutatorian, started crying while she made her speech and thanked her mom, and i almost cried when ben hugged his mother after she gave him his diploma (she's on the board of education). i got tired of clapping though... but i clapped for the people i wanted to clap for, but i didn't for any of the assholes i couldn't stand. all in all, it was nice, not hot at all, and not as long as i expected it to be
oh, and fucking school... they put in the graduation programs that i didn't get a regents diploma, but i did. fuckers. i think they shoud've announced the mistake or something, because that just blows
after i got home i was just sooo tired that i didn't go to nicole or kjersten's graduation parties, even though i wanted to, but i fell asleep. i was just so tired. then we went to this chef's store in tanger (kathleen they had so much palm tree stuff omg) and then to applebee's, where they did their little birthday song for me but replaced "birthday" with "graduation", of course, and gave me balloons
yesterday we took everybody home. we dropped off my aunt debi and grandma wood off at their airport, then took my mom to hers, and i came home and went to pat's graduation party with kjersten and laura, a girl who went to my school years ago but moved to florida. it was nice
now i'm here and my grandma is bothering the hell out of me to make invitations for my graduation party, but i'm lazy and tired
okay i'm done
