I feel bad that I never update and then complain that nobody else does either. But with that comes the frustration of knowing that nothing exciting has happened since my last post and it would seem stupid to update about nothing. The only thing worse than boredom is being a bore. Things are far from boring though. The days have gone by so quickly this summer. In 23 days I leave.
As I look back over this year a lot of things happened.
Because of Annie Beasley I was able to be an escort for Homecoming and ride in the convertible in front of the whole school. I never thought in a million years that would ever happen. It was always something that I thought would be neat but that it would never happen to me. The popular kids got to experience such things.
I got to come full circle and be in the play my Senior year. To say that it was a totally wonderful experience would be a lie, but it was a million times better than the musical. However, the play did really put me out there and showed people that I could entertain. Everyone came up to me afterword and said that they had no idea I could sing that well and that my song was a huge highlight in the show. Those comments alone was worth doing the play.
The musical was a debacle that had only one silver lining, my friends that were in it.
The Every 15 Minutes program was a really cool experience until it got canceled.
Being a class officer was neat. Thank you to Stephanie, Jeremy, and Keegan for making it really fun to be in that club. Now on to planning reunions...
Graduation was interesting. It seemed surreal at the time and still does. It wasn't what I totally expected it would be, but what in life ever is. This is not a negative thing, but from what I had witnessed from my sister's graduation and what has been shown on TV and movies, it wasn't what I thought it would be.
My Open House was really great. It really surprised me how many people came. It meant a lot to me that they did. Good times.
I still can't believe it's over. The care-free time of being a teenager in high school is gone. Now on to being a reckless young adult in college.
Happy days are here again.
