Almost finished high school (without having ever even attended an actual high school.)
Four years of endless homework, quizzes, speeches, tests, exams, death-by-chemistry, obscenely overloaded class schedules, enough awkward phases to last me two lifetimes, characteristically high school-ish stupidity...
I am nearly free.
In one week from tomorrow, I will be done with highschool for GOOD!
Here are some of the highlights of my high school years:
1. Pouring melted cheese all over myself intentionally is definitely the icing on my no-more-highschool-cake.
2. Anything VSO-related, including self-inflicted Cheerwine-highs and almost falling off the side of a mountain.
3. Pole dancing on the monorails at Disney.
4. "Mommy, are they part of the exhibit?" and, "Uhh... are you guys okay?"
5. Making obscene amounts of chocolate chip cookies in the wee hours of the morning at the Kuckuck's. (Hey, just because I'm now diabetic doesn't mean that's gonna stop.)
6. 2 a.m. trips to Waffle House while singing to Kesha.
7. Attempting to light batteries on fire in a church parking lot.
8. Anything to do with a. Erica and b. The food at Erica's house.
9. Swimming... giggly-inquisitive mermaids... "unleash your inner Goddess"... no more is gonna be said on the subject.
10. Mall at Millenia in prom dresses.
11. Basically going to any public place wearing outfits that should be expressly reserved for Halloween.
12. Smith Prep Prom, every year.
13. The infamous meeting of Hello Sexy and Mr. Delicious.
14. Tackling Kelle to the ground at the airport terminal.
- Too many more.
I don't graduate highschool until June 2nd, but a week from now I'll be finished with all my finals, papers, studying, classes, for good. Which is basically like graduating because it means that, for a brief honeymoon period, I will be free of all educational obligations and be able to enjoy my life again and all the things that that entails.
On my post-high school pre-start-of-college bucket list includes:
- Finally going to the beach
- Using that Twistee Treat gift certificate
- Shopping for swimsuits!
- Getting my butt to the track and RUNNING, no more wimpy walks around the lake when I can manage to squeeze them in
- Rock Springs and Wekiva Springs
- A long overdue trip to Georgia
- Vigorously searching for yummy diabetic-friendly recipes
- Finally using that copy of Rosetta Stone
- PACKING FOR COLLEGE! AHH!
- Washing my poor, neglected truck
- Spending some quality time with my cat
- Investing in some new books, which I will have a chance to actually read
- Taste-testing every diet soda on the grocery shelf in order to find my favorite soda-of-choice
- Improving my face painting skills!
Yeah, yeah, I realize that I'll be slammed with basically the same thing over again tenfold once I reach college (well, re-reach - it sucks graduating college now only to be re-demoted to freshman again come this Fall), but I figure that this is indeed a situation that calls for a celebratory blog post-in-lieu-of-finals studying (aka what I should be doing at this moment).
So, it's almost time to celebrate.
Let's just get through with these pesky finals first...
Let me know when you do get to come up to GA. I have been eager to meet you (previously from urging from Josh and Travis) and will be moving to Atlanta around the time you get out of school. I can schedule to hang out at Josh's or something so that we can meet. Will you be rendezvousing at his parents' house in Forsyth or at his college?
ReplyDeleteI'll let you know! I'm quite eager to meet you as well, Josh talks about you lots (don't worry, all good things.) I am planning on coming up May 8th and staying until the 20th - and then after June 2nd I'll be up there for good. It's a shame you're moving to Atlanta! I'll probably stop at the parental's house in Forsyth to say hello to mamabird & the family before going to see Josh - so if you're free around the 8th/9th that'd be perfect!
