DONE DONE DONE!

I'm out!

This is going to be a really short post, cause I don't have a lot of time.

But I did it! I graduated high school! I am on to bigger and better things!

BEST DAY OF MY LIFE SO FAR!

Oh, and also, I got a laptop. Thanks mom and dad!

The Problem with Social Networking

Reasons why I'm still on Facebook:

1. So I can stalk people.

2. So I can be in with the parties and stuff that goes on.

3. So people will remember my birthday.

4. So I can stalk people.

I can't think of any more. Are there? Aren't those the only reasons stable people are on Social Networks? 

I don't know. 

This is a really short blog post. But I don't really have a lot to say. I'm almost done, though I keep writing so it might grow.

Two days. In two days, I can look at the public school system, spit in it's face and tell it "I BEAT YOU! I succeeded! I did it, and now that I've beaten you, I'm not coming back to help you up. Suffer, public school. Suffer." Actually, I will probably be too full of joy and happiness to think that morosely. I'm pretty sure that's the right word for it.

I got my yearbook today. It's a good yearbook. I only had a few people sign it, and then I left, and then I didn't come back. Because now, I don't need the accolades of my peers to feel good. I have my Heavenly Father, and my family. And we are forever. And I'm not saying that I don't appreciate the accolades of my peers. I just could survive if I didn't have them. I still like getting complimented. :)

Anyway, I tried to do a friend clean out, but I have so many friends, and I'm afraid that if someone notices that I unfriended them, then they might get way mad. So I'll wait until nobody sees me anymore, and then I will unfriend as many people as I want! Bwahahahaha! Actually, only the people I don't know. Cause I'm friends with people whose names sound really familiar, but I have no clue who they are. So they have to go. I just have to find them all.

So this turned into a longer blog post than I thought it was going to be. I'm super tired, and I'm typing in the dark, so if there are grammatical errors, I apologize. 

2 DAYS!!!!!!! 

Also, About 5 months until Alex's return!

ALMOST.... THERE.....

I feel like one of those guys in the desert, who hasn't had water in about seven years. And then suddenly he sees a tall cool glass of water that has three fat ice cubes floating delicately, and a thin layer of condensation on the outside, but every step he takes towards the cup sinks into the sand, so it takes him a long time to get there. So replace the guy with me, the desert as high school, and the glass of water as graduation.

I'm thirsty now.

Anyway, there are only seven more days of school left until I graduate, and they are taking SO LONG. I can't even stand it! What the crap?? What happened to two weeks ago, when school started and ended in the same hour? I mean, that's how it felt!

I take comfort in knowing that I only have two and a half more days of me evil Foods teacher. She's evil. And quite awful. She's not good at teaching. The only reason I passed the test is because I read the textbook. Well, not really. But I did some brushing up on my internal meat and poultry temperatures the night before the test.

Does that mean I'm going to be a good college student? I doubt it. I've always had a problem procrastinating...

I also want to find out who my roommate is, and who my kitchen mates are. I'll only be sharing a room with one of them, but the rest of the apartment belongs to me, and five other girls. And I WANT TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

What if they don't like me?

Also, the eclipse was bomb. Apparently, I did a bad thing by not buying the fancy eclipse glasses, and looking at it with seven pairs of sunglasses on my face. I was looking for my sunglasses this afternoon, and I had to sift through a huge pile of them on the table for ten minutes before I found them.

I'm really excited to graduate. Really excited.

Seven days.

Mother's Day!

It's Mother's Day today! How fun! We started celebration yesterday. We had a nice breakfast and then my brother, my dad, and I went to go get flowers for my mom. We have this tradition that we get her flowers to plant in her flower garden, and so every year she has a different garden to look at.

Anyway, so that happened. And then my day was really busy, going to rehearsal, and being really tired, and then babysitting. So then today we celebrated more. We had another good breakfast, and then went to church, and then my sister and brother-in-law came down, and then MY BROTHER CALLED! So that was fun. It is really fun to talk to him. I can't believe he only has six months left! Wow!

So we had a fancy dinner, and cheesecake, and now we're all just sitting around talking. Right now about Rush Limbaugh... 

Anyway, so now I'm going to write a special blog post for my mama. Even though she probably won't read it, because I don't even think that she knows that this blog exists. So here we go.

I LOVE MY MOM! Why? Because she is my best friend. Other than my sister. But because I live with my mom, she is my best friend. She is so wise! Whenever I'm going through various trials (like the other night) she'll just calmly listen to me, and then be there for a shoulder to cry on. Not only does she have to deal with me being an emotionally volatile teenager, but she also cooks and cleans and raises my little brother too! And she takes care of my cancer ridden father! What an amazing woman! I really just adore her. I don't know what I would do without her. 

And now here is my religious moment of the hour, and if you aren't LDS, I'm sorry. You won't understand. Find some missionaries (maybe my brother?) and ask them what's going on. But I am so happy that I am sealed to her. I'm going to be with her for forever! And she is just wonderful. 

She's funny, and beautiful, and she is my very best friend. Because right now, I don't really have friends. But I can always count on words of love when I see her, except when she's telling me to take out the garbage or pick up my shoes. But even then, it is with love. 

What an amazing woman! From the difficult situation she came from, to taking care of 4 children under the age of 7 while having a husband with a brain tumor, and then having to go through that again, without the 4 children under 7! I cannot comprehend how she does it. She amazes me. AMAZES me. And so mom, this is for you. I love you, and I'm glad that you are a part of my life, and even though sometimes we have our spats, I'll always love you. Always.

Also, only 13 school days until graduation. Thanks to my mom for helping me get through the stupidity of high school, as well. 

Happy Mother's Day, to moms everywhere! But most especially mine. :)
