The Long-Anticipated Update

Actually, since no one really reads this anymore, I doubt it's very anticipated at all.

I'm rather lazy, so I'm not going to go into detail about the last couple of months, but here are the highlights:

FBLA State: Good times. I qualified for the national conference again, this time with my Desktop Publishing partner. We're heading off to Nashville, TN in two weeks!

18th Birthday: Prom Bus-decorating, silly word game-playing, movie-watching...let's just say it was a great way to spend a milestone birthday; I certainly won't forget it.



Prom: It was so...nice. I honestly can't get over it. Dinner (potluck-style) was tasty, transportation (our very own short bus) was entertaining, dancing was fun (even though I suck at it), movie afterward was...well, I was half-asleep, so I really don't remember much of it...oh, and the company was wonderful :D.









18th Birthday Party: Perhaps not all I'd previously hoped, but still good. Easily one of my best birthday parties to date, and I got at least one very awesome gift.

End-of-year Craziness: Projects, Career Portfolios, tests, work at Kohl's, social drama...basically it was stressful, tiring, and not just a little annoying. I'm happy to have survived.

Disneyland: I had a lot of fun at times, but I was annoyed with the social drama sorta followed me to Anaheim, our director was unable to accompany us due to medical problems and that was disappointing after all of the work she put into organizing the trip, and being gone for 5 days made me realize how hard it's going to be to part with some people in the fall.

Senior Barbeque: Bad weather + dumb awards (can you say popularity contest?)+ good food + good friends + good music + fun at my house afterward = overall, a really good day.





Gradumacation: Boring speeches, nerve-wracking solo, listening to names being called for an hour and only know 25% of them...yet still a nice night. At this point I still barely believe I'm not going back to RHS next fall. It probably wont' hit me until I start packing my bags and saying goodbye to the people I care for most.







Work at Kohl's: HATE. So much. I can't even describe how much I wish I did not work there. I don't even want to talk(/write) about it. Eugh. That place makes me ill.

The big graduation party is on Sunday, and I'm pretty excited about it. We've been planning it for a while now; I hope everything turns out nice and everyone has a good time.

To be honest, there's been a lot more going on in my life than this, it just happens to be of a more private nature. It's been terribly hard at times, but also amazingly wonderful at other times. At this point, I know there's a lot of frustration and difficulty coming my way, but when I look beyond that, I see the possibility of great happiness in my future. I just hope I'm right.
