Graduation is in exactly three hours, and I'm infinitely more nervous than I had expected. I have to make a speech, which I've come to terms with, but now, apparently, there will be no podium for me to hide behind and I will probably have to hold the microphone. I don't know why this last minute change has caused my stomach to start aching and my ( Read more... )

Totally caffeinated right now. It's great.

Now if I could just do something productive . . . .

I'm not going to Tufts to escape Statesboro. Honestly. I love Georgia, and this will always be my home ( Read more... )

The past couple of days have been very busy, as I run around in general circles trying to satisfy my family, hang out with friends, and get everything ready for Madrid and Boston. My mother (and, unfortunately, I) have started an ongoing project to organize our attic. We have boxes and boxes of old books that we are giving away, since putting ( Read more... )

I ended up with a massive amount of housework to do (i.e. cleaning, cooking, etc . . .).

My hands felt very funny afterwords - kinda leathery - but I don't think it's contagious ( Read more... )

So I spent most of today in Savannah shopping with my mom. We went to several little boutiques downtown and then places like Bannana Republic and Gap where my mom likes to shop. I didn't find anything, which was frustrating but not surprising. I live in t-shirts and jeans, which shouldn't be that hard to find. But they are. They SO are. Maybe ( Read more... )

Except for the graduation ceremony, I'm done with high school ( Read more... )

So the trouble with this procrastination thing is that all of the work I haven't done this semester has been piling up into a bigger and bigger headache. I now have a huge amount of studying to do. "Inordinate" is definitely the word of the day.

My senior prom is on Friday. It's going to be at the Averitt Center, which could be good or bad depending on how hard the prom committee works. Plans for the after-party are still up in the air. I'm a little excited, and that surprises me. Usually I hate formal events like prom or graduation that everyone makes such a big deal out of, but ( Read more... )
