mmk, so tonight I loved-
1) the official start of summer- Laura throwing a math binder (ashley's math binder, to be precise), out the window of a moving vehicle into a rainy street.
2) random trips to SHS- 143 janitors.
3) SQUARE ONE MALL?! I don't really love it. I love two pairs of flipflops for $8, and walking around the mall a bajillion times without actually stopping in any stores.
4) randomly driving EVERYWHERE all night and having awesome conversations.
5) getting a phone call from my brother at 11:30 going "Umm, I don't have a ride home. I could always walk..."
tonight was a strange, interesting time. I experienced a wide range of emotions, I guess... c'est la vie.
eagerly anticipating the job interview next week. <3
got a freshman registration guide from BU- two of the languages they offer are Turkish and Persian. HOW COOL IS THAT?
tomorrow's looking pretty busy- I think my aunt and uncle will be stopping by to give me a graduation gift? I told them not to. I told my mother to tell them not to. instead, she helped them pick something out. I am suitably frightened- either it will be my every dream, or I'll hate it. in which case the meager acting skills I posses will come in handy.
my mother's agreed that my gift from her should be a laptop, which I'm pretty excited over. I've wanted one since I was about twelve, after all.
so, high school is over. the moment I spent four years praying for has finally occured, and I'll admit to having mixed feelings. but unlike many other people, I can certainly believe we've graduated. we were all ready to do so- it was perfect timing. I personally will not miss much of the highschool experience itself; the alienation, the awkward situations, the teachers that saw you as sub-human, the "in-crowds" and the cliques. I think we're all getting a bit too old, and too mature, for all of that.
there are plenty of people I will miss. and I know that the reality is, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to hold on to all the people I had before. it's as simple as this- people drift away, new priorities develop in their lives along with new responsibilties. but I hope that the people who really care, the ones who've always been there for me, the ones who matter, will stay in my life for a very long time. and I'll try my hardest to make that possible.
I think I'm too tired to do any more reflecting. and this night, more than any other, has been both good and bad. cathartic, I guess. whatever.
