My step mother paid for the tux and gave me $80 for prom-related expenses (tickets, dinner, pictures). She also wrote me an $80 check for grad night! Add the $80 tux rental to that and I got like $240 off of her today! Well, then you have to realize that she gave me $40 to buy grad tickets and a couple extra announcements. Then she gave me $40 ( Read more... )

Wahoo! My last test is done. I am done! Go me! I may have pulled a 4 out of that music theory test (sweet ( Read more... )

And graduation is in 21 days 22 hours 50 minutes! Three weeks, exactly, from tomorrow evening ( Read more... )

Well, Spanish HL was pretty simple. I got through the first reading in the first 5 minutes. The second reading took about 10. They were both pretty damn easy. In fact, too easy. Then came the third reading. Well, I heard from Steph after the fact that it was about two rivers. I don't know. It kicked my ass. But then the essay for the fourth reading ( Read more... )

Yeah, so Hannah's contact pulled through. (That's Hannah 2, Chris 0). Hannah gave our screen names to each other, and Matt and I started talking yesterday. Well, this evening, we both decided we were bored. So we spontaneously set out for the park to toss a football. Well, I think we clicked. After all, we're going to prom ( Read more... )

So I should be sleeping because I have to go to Spanish in the morning (and band). But I slept until about noon today, so I'm not quite tired yet. So how to I pass my time? I sit here and browse the web or post things right here. I don't know, maybe I should get a life. That or a job. Does anyone have any ideas for a job? Oh well. I'll keep looking ( Read more... )

So I've taken up the full-time hobby of stuffing 35 graduation announcements. Wow are they a lot of work. Good thing I know how to computerize portions of the process (like addressing the outer envelopes and filling out the celebration cards). It's a serious time saver. I should be tired. I have to get up at 8 tomorrow. But alas, I am not. So I'm ( Read more... )

Hannah got her friend to IM me, potentially for a prom date. So we got talking and then my internet connection died. So I went and cursed at my cable modem. Hit the reset button a couple of times. Waited. And came back. The IM was still open, so I picked up where I had left off. That was ok, just frustrating. THEN MY COMPUTER SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WITH ( Read more... )

I finally gave in and reformatted the hard drive. I've spent the past six hours or so backing up, reformatting, and reinstalling. I have pretty much all of the applications I use regularly (and all of my data) reinstalled. Go me! It's sure a lot of work to reformat and then make the system usable again ( Read more... )
