The overly ambitious are tied down by their dreams

Wow so um...long time no update. Sorry to disappoint, but now I'm sure that absolutely no one reads this anymore. Leaving this for me to be my own personal online journal.

Today was the last day of highschool, sooo happy. It doesn't really show because I haven't felt it kick in. I'm still checking my planner and trying to remind myself what I have for homework. Mynes is making all the seniors play for graduation. Although it has been a tradition for years, the seniors this year were planning on abolishing it. We went through many plans of all convincing our parent of not making us and explaining our situation fully to Mr. Mynes, but he instead went to Ms. Santmeyer who was appalled (naturally because she's in love with the orchestra even though every time she listens to us we sound like shit) and is now forcing us to play or our grade will be lowered and Mynes will possibly contact our college telling them we failed to participate. I think it's all totally ridiculous and nothing but bullshit but you just don't know. I think contacting JMU (my college of choice, GO DUKES!) for such a stupid reason is so below anyone, even Mr. Mynes, but he has outdone himself recently. My mom is through-the-roof angry with him. I would have been glad to play if asked, but all of this has been by force or threat and I would have appreciated it if it was more polite. I'm playing for my mom, because she asked me to.

Anyway, tomorrow Kevin, Tolbert, Bryan, Mikey, Andrew and me are going to Kings Dominion. I wish I could have gotten at least one girl to go besides me, but Maggie crapped out, she's feeling really bad. I'm excited none the less.

I've been going out with James for over 9 months now, it's really fantastic. We get along great and do just about anything together. He bought me a professional camera for my graduation present because I really liked using his. His stepmom died two days ago, so he's in Houston now, driving back all the stuff her and his dad used during their stay there. Graduation is Monday so I hope he makes it back for that. It'll be a really happy time for me, maybe it'll make him feel better too.

I guess that's about it for now. Laundry's done.
