the times, they are a changin
Wow.
Today was an insanely busy day, and it flew by in this insane blur. Senior awards ceremony, senior luncheon, wfmj commercial, baccalaureate... I can't believe I'm still awake. Oh, and I'm valedictorian. I forgot about that until today, I never really understood what a big deal it is. I just realized that both the Latin words valeo and dicto are in the word, making it mean somehthing along the lines of one who speaks about leaving. Kinda sad. And yes, I know this b/c I'm a nerd.
I'm happy I guess, I just can't believe it went by so fast.
I feel like this night means more than tomorrow, the actual graduation.
Oh, and I got rejected from Brown.
There's a curve ball for you.
But now I don't really seem to care that much anymore, I think I just excell at mediocrity. I don't want to be fighting out of my weight class.
Everyone seemed to like my speech, maybe it was because of the Third Eye Blind, Beatles, and Dylan shout-outs... just a guess. I was nervous, but when I got up to speak I didn't even really think about it, it just all happened. It was like I watched myself do it, which is better.
Senior Slideshow was amazing, I was a tad sad, but mostly just happy about all our memories. So much time has gone by.
Maura's house was great too, I think I talked to Tom for like an hour. I'm basically in love with that kid, he's amazing... one of those people I'll definitely miss and wish that I had gotten to know better these last four years.
So, here I am. Awake, alone, and slightly restless. I don't know what to do, it seems like these past four years I've had a constant goal, and here I am just drifting through sections of life without any real purpose. I feel like I need to bake cookies or play ukelele.
It's going to be like this for a couple days, it's going to take some adjusting.
Congratulations class of 07.
