Goodbye High School

So I'm not graduating with honors because my Algebra III grade lowered my GPA to an sickening 3.4 something. I've never been more embarrassed in my life. I couldn't sit there at the awards banquet waiting for scholarships I knew I wouldn't get after I watched all my friends and people I hated get the golden cords to wear on graduation day.

I figured later, in the truck, while staring at my two pathetic scholarships (one of which I'm almost touched by... explanation later) that I really should have driven separate from my parents. My temper was flaring and I was embarrassed, so naturally I wanted to bawl like a little girl. I couldn't take my eyes off my phone the entire 20 minute drive home.  I was texting my friend like a madwoman just to keep my mind off of how lame I had ended up as a person.

I received two local scholarships. One was a memorial of a past art teacher in our school district.  I didn't understand why I had received that scholarship until I looked over the plaque (that resides on some wall somewhere in the school, but I get dibs on it for my open house) and realized the past two years it went to creative students: graphic design and interior design majors. So that was the point I remembered that I had written my essay on why I chose my possible major, photography. Although I was probably the only art-minded senior who applied for the scholarships, I still got a wave of gratitude towards the man's wife.  She gave me a card, which I later put on my wall, it says something along the lines of dreaming what you want to become.  I really can't remember, but it was touching.

Moving on.

I figure this blog is just for me anyway. I don't care if no one reads it.  I need to be able to read it later.  It takes too long to write with a descriptive mind like mine.

So last night we saw the midnight showing of Terminator Salvation.  I never saw a Terminator previous to this one, but I thought it was really good. And of course, Christian Bale and ...the hot terminator/human guy were just... mind boggling. After the movie I got home around 3am and started on my homework for the last day of school for us seniors.  I finished my work around 5am, went to bed, read for an hour, then fell asleep.  I woke up at 7:35, put on jeans and walked out of the house.  I remember trying to figure out what was really happening and trying to shake the nonsense out of my head and realize what I was doing. 

Work was horrifying. I had a hunting license malfunction and the printer went to shit. I was on the phone with 2 men from DNR for about an hour for different problems (because I refused to just let it go and let the boss deal with it) and I finally figured that out, but had no time to do anything for the second half of my shift.  My bloody boss never answered her phone. I pretty much begged her to give me lenience and pleaded insanity due to senior chaos... but really it was all because my body was trying to sleep and I had to seriously put effort into doing real work.  

This is lame.

I love Hayley Hoover's hair... she's wicked awesome.
