And so the bell tolls.

I'm probably the only senior in my class who isn't looking forward to graduation. Yes, you read correctly, invisible audience. Watashi wa soutsuyoushiki ga tanoshimi ni shite inain desu. For me, it feels bittersweet. High School has been my entire existence for four years. Sweet though for all the obvious reasons.

I can't say I'm looking forward to finding a job that suits my interests. I won't work at another Party City. No, never again. I'll do volunteer work first (hmm....actually sounds a bit interesting....xD ).

There's this program called the JET Program that sends university graduates to Japan to teach English (or the major language of their country). Ashley's intrigued. O.O Contracts can be up to 3 years. I just hope they wouldn't make us come back...Cuz I don't think I'd wanna. This guy in my Japanese class just returned from Japan (he's the one that told me and Michelle about the program) and said that he hoped that the USA wouldn't let him come back in (he's from Spain) just so that he could stay in Japan. And the descriptions were breathtaking, as were the pictures that they showed us. Sensei obviously misses Japan. Her desire to come to America still baffles me, though. To leave such a beautiful country for the...materialistic, selfish society of America...I can't imagine.

I love America in my own way. Don't get me wrong. I like my freedom as much as anyone else. It's just amazing (sarcasm) how such freedom brings out the best in people.

But back to graduation. LaDeDa. It makes me feel so empty not to be coming back to Salem anymore. Gah~ I love Salem. Hate (some of) the people, love the place. The word graduation just sounds so final, and I hate that. I can't even finish a good anime because I don't like the feeling 'it's over'.

So, I guess I like being stuck in a rut. xD
