Today was my last day of high school.
There were some memorable moments..most of the time in class today was spent either studying or taking the biology final. Seriously, no one should have a final for their very last class on their last day of school. Nothing going on in government, so we just talked. I flipped through my little study notecards, and then Sam and I went to the math room to see what we got on our tests. I got a 49 out of 50, I couldn't believe it. Last test score the best of the whole year. But then again I think the material was a lot more straight-forward than the stuff from recent chapters. In French we had the quiche party and a few presentations. Got an eiffel tower pencil sharpener, a Mardi Gras pencil, bookmark, and nifty pin with a sparkly. Difficult to leave that class. Then the bio. final, four questiions pick three. I wrote two pages. Chick lab back, 248 out of 300, I totally forgot the summary. And then I cleaned my locker and that was that.
Aw man, I saw Mrs. Rowan's class out in the courtyard today, I think they may have been doing the insect poem readings...I still remember that so vividly from freshman year, Luke and I had the cricket song. Good times.
Tomorrow is grad. prac. at 8:30 to 11, then I have to go to an NHS meeting (of all things!), and then at 3 I'll head to PD elem. for Ms. Parrott's retirement thing.

That's right: he'd poke it with a stick. (credit due to Amazon's review of The Blob for that wonderful question and answer).
