Last day of school was today! I have two syllables for that: suh-WEET! *parties*
School is almost out. Only three and a half days until freedom! Well, a week of freedom before I start working…somewhere. Which reminds me, I should pick up some job applications and fix up my resume (I know, there needs to be an accent or two on there, but I’m to lazy to fire up the ol’ character map and find one). What’s left? I’ll go down the classes and try to remember anything important.
AP Chemistry–working on organic chem packet, may or may not be a final, best to be prepared anyways.
German II–(horrible class, I wish I’d never taken it) no final, working on some incredibly lame lantern project which has no relation to the class whatsoever
Comparative Religions–definite final, most likely just on Islam as opposed to all that we’ve learned so far
Research Writing–no final, just a project on the “State of Education” (which, for any interested, is right next to Wyoming, just kidding)
Band–no more playing (yay!), some recycle runs, and a pitiful excuse for a final (one or two questions about random things)
Math–no final, just another lame project that involves drawing a picture using function equations (linear, direct/inverse power, exponential, period, etc), of course, I’m already done, but I still don’t like the project
So, doesn’t look like I have too much to worry about. Except, of course, trying to keep my grade in German above a B-. I swear, if it hasn’t already, that class will ruin my GPA. I should have taken Spanish…
I was surfing the Internet today (yes, a very interesting pastime) when I came across this hilarious video about a guy dressed like one of the people on iPod commercials (you know, all black with only the white iPod sticking out) dancing in an Apple store. I still have no idea just how I found it, but it’s awesome. So awesome in fact that I downloaded it and showed it to my friends. Well, okay, just my parents, but now I’m giving you the chance to see it too! (Future Cody’s note: the original link now doesn’t work, so here it is on YouTube.)
All my senior friends are graduating. It majorly bummed me out today when I went to lunch and there was my table…empty. Oh sure, there are a couple sophomores and a freshman who usually sit there, too, but all the seniors were gone. I was struck by a massive sense of nostalgia. All the good memories. All the funny jokes. The banana on the roof, the spoon fights, the cram sessions for math and/or Vietnam…I ended up sitting somewhere else so I wouldn’t be overwhelmed by sadness at the sight of empty seats. Plus empty tables remind me of my freshman year. Not a pleasant thing to be remembering.
Today was officially their last day. There was this big assembly (that I got to skip because the band takes that time to practice for our graduation performance) and then the seniors went around to all their classes and got signed out so they could leave. Graduation is Friday. I have no doubt that I’ll get a little misty-eyed knowing I won’t be seeing the great majority of the seniors again. At least not every day. But on the bright side, I get to go to a graduation party on the 18th and they’ll probably all be there. That should be a fun party. Even if I’ll be dead tired because of an all-night lock-in the night before. Yeah. It’ll be even cooler if we play spoons with me in that condition. But I doubt I’ll be that tired. I mean, how bad can a lock-in with a bunch of hyper teenagers be? <–*famous last words*
You know you have too much country music on your computer when your “random” playlist of rock/jazz/ska/metal/country/pop music plays ten country songs in a row. I still can’t believe it did that. I didn’t think there was that much country on there. I mean, the list is four and a half hours long. How much country can there possibly be on there to play ten in a row? My computer has problems like that.
I also found out about another free webmail service, open to people who use AIM. I rarely do use it, but I have a screen name, so that was how I got in. Apparently Gmail made a big impression because AIM Mail gives you 2 GB free. Twice as much as Gmail (although Gmail is constantly increasing, I’ve had Gmail long enough to have 2 GB on it). I don’t foresee myself ever using AIM Mail, but it’s nice to have a mail service to use when I sign up for things so it gets all the spam. Like my Yahoo mail account…and my Mail.com account…and to a lesser extent my Hotmail account. But I get a lot of legit mail in Hotmail. But by far I also get the most “F.R.EE C.IA.LIS T.AB.S” and “M AK E H E R HA P PY” spam. I swear…
