I've spent about three-and-a-half hours on my cell phone to-day, trying to contact about 70 seniors so they can give me permission to run their college info. in The Review. Right now, I'm down to eight more, and five of them have been just about impossible to contact. Quite a challenge ( Read more... )

This is the first time I've actually been able to stay home from school because I have no obligations that require me to be on campus. Of course, I'll have to go in again to-morrow, but I might not have to come on Friday ( Read more... )

Um, wow. It appears that I am leaving for Philmont on 27th May, instead of the 29th, thanks to flight and shuttle logistics things. That's two days after prom and eleven days after graduation.

• Writing for two hours straight gives my hand cramps
  
• I should have eaten breakfast: my stomach was growling like crazy
  
• I should have brought a blanket because the room was so cold
  
• Having to sit still for three hours with only one break ( Read more... )

IT'S CHRISTOPHER!
