So. Today I went shopping for an outfit for graduation, which was rather frustrating. It took me three hours to find something that was just right. This took three hours away from my end-of-the-term Spanish VI project (a timeline of the entire history of Spain), so I've been scrambling to get all of my homework done since I got home around 4.

This last week of school seems so pointless. I wish they'd just throw up their hands and say, "All right! No sense in stressing you out any longer! You're done!" And then we could sit around and reflect on all of high school for four days straight, spending the time talking to friends and acquaintences we might never, ever get to see again. Yes. That would be good use of those four days, I think. It would appear that finals and projects and presentations have won out, however.

Ever since the stress of my AP Statistics AP test ended in early May, I've come to love my classes ten times more. .. just because of the people I get to see every day. Oh, if I could encompass the hilarity of the conversations we've had lately...

There are so many members of my class that I never would have predicted I'd miss after graduation ... and now that I think about it, I'm going to miss them all terribly. :( Sigh.

It was another disgustingly hot day in Ashwaubenon. The school is probably going to be about 90 degrees tomorrow. Whoopee.

Aaaaand ... that's it.
