goodbye seventeen
I know I haven't been writing here much, but I figured I'd write one last time while being 17, though I don't see why a few hours really makes a difference. Well, I suppose it does, considering in a couple hours I'll beable to vote, buy cigarettes, buy porn, and have legal sex with someone over 18. All four of which, of course, I will do immediately. Ha.
OTHER than THAT, the FUCKING FIRE thing at school today CANCELLED the Senior Recital, our LAST PACE show!! Wow, sorry for all the caps, but it's just really annoying....the fire drill (inconveniently during art, the last day I had to work on my painting, ugh) actually turning out to be a fire, standing out in the rain for 45 minutes, walking over to central school and playing 'trouble' the board game with some 1st grader who started crying because I think she was scared of the highschool students....and then coming home to find out they cancelled after school activities. Don't see why it won't be rescheduled, though! In which case, it will probably be on my birthday, which would be really cool, because it usually is.
But it still hasn't really hit me yet...not only that this is the last PACE show, but also the last 3 days of high school. Actually I think the former is more 'hit' requiring, after being in soooo many shows, PACE enveloping my life, my life enveloping Pace, it's been amazing, far more amazing than the rest of school. In fact, I think that it's what really got me through high school. Where would I be without such a creatively fantastic performing arts program? I know I always complained about how much I hate high school, and it's true, I absolutely despise many parts of it, but it all evens out because of the great experiences/things I've learned from PACE. I know, I'm sorry, I am the ultimate pacey, laugh all you want, but I don't see it as this evil 'cult' that everyone makes it out to be; it's really just an amazing program that offers great opportunities to learn and to express, and to be yourself.
Still, I can hardly wait to graduate! And for this summer! My nature filled summer (oh yeah, I got a job through the county doing stream water monitering/testing and other environmental stuff), before I have to spend a year in a city (ahhh) and die of claustrophobia! I live. I always seem to. (well, that's obvious. I mean, I am still alive, right?)
Okay, I'd like to actually attempt to go to bed before 12, for the first time in months. Don't know if it will happen, but I'm going to try. So bye!
Peace out and Wombats,
