Senior year…
First day of school…and my gov notes are not done and left at home on accident, first and only day of studyhall ever, discovered I can get to school and back in under 10 minutes w/o traffic, Wild Oats with Katch and vegan marshmallows, crazy cooking for Gauri’s goodbye-she goes to Rome! Indian evangelists at the door while inappropriately dressed, first curling iron burn-on my sister’s head, Taste of Blue Ash to hear Amber D. sing where Kt vanishes on us, cousins/niece and nephews who are afraid of bugs and hummingbirds visit, FIREWORKS with some of my favorite girls and no one else (overdosed on brownies…ooops), start working out 7th bell, start tutoring, Kurt Vonnegut with Jon Stewart = way exciting, National Merit = happy ruch, football game national merit halftime, meeting old teachers, ice cream with parents afterwards…but prettyboy is working there = died of embarrassment, PKI for P&G day-whiplash and most impressively high-pitched and loudest screams, first vocal test!, attended a schoolboard meeting make-up free, spelling Japanese words…with our butts, ushered the first show because I don’t want pay to see it (m/b Whapham’s not so bad?), dinner and Jen’s show at the Aronoff with people…and David Morton, HC dinner at Don Pablo’s in Marilyn Monroe dress-mass chaos and ridiculously crazy, stayed home sick from school but I’m not a Jew, SAT with Spanish soccer players on the walls for good luck, GARBA garba garba garba with all my brown and non-desi friends too-danced until I was sick and bits of glass in my feet (best garba ever, I think), freaking out about not getting into college, veggietales in the morning!, kt says “be a prostitute”, sailee taz and I have mad skills for choreographing a dance in ONE DAY and having it perfected in two days for variety show auditions, choir concert with an unwanted encore, B&N with kt and Alice except where are they? Oh they’re parked next to me the WHOLE TIME, drove myself down to college of Mount St. Joe for Honors Choir rehearsal-way scary highways, Prendy autographs Stacy’s planbook and misspells her name, senior spotlight but I’m not in the orch…but I’m sitting front and center! Overslept and therefore HORRIBLY late to school for senior Halloween as Kt strapped me into her corset, trick-or-treating with Meetra Christy Stella and Jen (I’m a “gypsy”), Whapham dubbed “the white man” for making my friends miserable, variety show-SWEETness and our Indian dance, but next morning failing SAT II (no Spanish soccer players this time), Honors choir all-day rehearsal and concert = most exhausting choir thing ever but cute tenors, Rose-Hulman score was kind of disastrous, HARRY POTTER IV=love, production manager for Rumors? Nooo, I have to go to Yale that weekend-oh wait I can’t afford it-too late! Visitors from Canada for Thanksgiving means I don’t have to talk about college, going to see RENT (chargrilled chicken is not pronounced “sha-grilled”), two more college essays DONE (at the last minute), not getting a snowday when we should makes Ruchi an angry girl (but choir concert is cancelled which is nice), couldn’t go caroling because I had to study for the ACT, took the ACT, went to CSYO though and saw my dear friend Tiffany!
