Why do 150% when 90 is enough to get you an A?
Ok, I don't have much to post, because the few people who actually read this, most likely already know what's going on in my life. But I'll make a few general statements. And leave you with a quote or something just for good measure. :-D
* 3 more days... wow. It all seems so surreal. I'm sitting here at my computer with a shitload of work to make up in order to get a C (lol. you know you're a senior when...), but all I'm really thinking about is how in just 6 days, my whole life's going to change. And I don't know that it will be any better or worse than here, but it will be different. A new challenge. And that's cool. I'm closing a door that is ready to be closed, and I'm not scared... for once. So what if I fuck up? I'm a human being. And this, my friends (and well, whoever you are), is a FUCKING FANTASTIC feeling!!! Life - I'm coming!!!! And in honor of the occasion:
I’m coming out
I want the world to know
Got to let it show
There’s a new me coming out
And I just had to live
And I wanna give
I’m completely positive
I think this time around
I am gonna do it
Like you never knew it
Ooh, I’ll make it through
The time has come for me
To break out of the shell.
Now I have got to shout
That I AM COMING OUT!!!
::song/key/tempo change::
'Cause there AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH
AIN'T NO VALLEY LOW ENOUGH
AIN'T NO RIVER WIDE ENOUGH
to keep me from getting to you, babe!
TA-DA!!! lol. My master piece medley. :-D Go Diana Ross. (and the supremes - where would she be had it not been for them? lol.) Anyways, moving on...
* I'm going to Ecuador for 3 weeks this summer. I think it's going to prove to be quite a trip. For those of you that might actually care (which are few and far between), I'm leaving on the 19th (getting there on the 20th) and coming back July 11th, but I'll probably sleep until the 15th or something. lol. After that, I don't know what summer holds for me... But I guess we'll see. (wow, that rhymed. :-P)
* Prom was great. Mike looked hot and had a great time, the hotel was fabulous, and all my girls looked incredible. It was a total success. I wouldn't have changed anything (well, except my claustrophobia factor... lol. oh well). Banquet was great too. Genevieve kicks ass, I loved my superlative. Then we went and saw Kicking and Screaming (in our dresses, mind you. lol), and despite the fact that almost every Will Ferrell movie is really stupid, this one was actually pretty funny (and not in the I'm-laughing-because-this-is-so-pathetic way). So all in all, it was a CRAZY weekend (like you can't even imagine), and I'll never forget it.
* I just felt the need to remind everyone again, that there are only 3 more school days (& they're only half days at that!). And I move into dorms on Aug. 20th, which in case you didn't already realize, is less than 3 months away. Like I said, it's very surreal, and oh so EXCITING!! It's all happening so quickly. Now, we all know I'm more than over-eager to get started, but there are a few people who I'm actually going to miss very much. Surprise, right? lol. j/k. But I know that these people are the ones who are going to stay in touch, and will care for/about me no matter how near or far I am, and that kicks ass, now doesn't it? :-D - My friends may arguably be the best in the world, but more than that, they're mine. ::tear:: (not really... lol)
* Speaking of tear, has anybody noticed I haven't cried all year?? If you'd have asked last year, I was the crybaby of all sorts, but now, you're not going to catch me without a smile. lol. (well, most of the time) They're addicting.... wait, is that possible?
* Rod is so... ::sigh::. I'll never be able to tell him, though I'm sure he definitely already knows. Such is life.
* I think I'm going to my dad's/S.C. on the 5th, but I think I'm officially moving out of here on the 3rd... (maybe even the 2nd.) So if anyone wants to do some last-minute bonding (lmao. or just plain partying), speak now or forever hold your peace (or whatever else it is that you choose to hold.) O:-)
* Tomorrow I have plans with Diana, if anyone wants to come along, holla at'ya guuurl! lmao. Until then, adios! sayanara! and adieu.
P.S. This entry ended up quite a bit longer than I thought. (I must talk too much. Oh well. :-D) If you're reading this, then I must have kept your attention anyways. And here's a little food for thought:
If you observe a really happy man, you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony,
educating his son, growing double dahlias or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi Desert.
He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that had rolled under the radiator,
Striving for it as a goal in itself.
He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of each day.
