20/20!

-Yearbook production holds that only 4 pages are left to be completed. That’s not bad considering those pages are reserved for the graduation pages. Everything else is either done or was poorly placed into the yearbook with barely a thought from me while I attended graduation practice. GREAT!

-I’m not a Graduate of South Laurel High School. I didn’t cry. I wasn’t sad. I didn’t look at it as many other people did; another separation of people, people that you may never see again. Instead, I saw it as a celebration. There was no remorse for my friends as I walked the line. If they are my friends now, then I am close enough to them that we will make the effort to keep in touch. If not, then they were not that close to me and I will go out into the world and make new friends, holding their memories close to me. The world is tough, ‘get a helmet’.

-Star Wars was….it was….there are so many things I would have done differently. I’m not saying ‘it was bad’ as much as ‘it was a good start!’. The entire movie seemed rushed. I understand that they had a lot of story to fit into a very limited time, but still, enough action-to-action, and more explanation of what and why everything is going on. There are many things that made little sense to people that did no to little research on the film expecting it to be like the other: self-explanatory by the characters dialogue with the help of overly obvious plot lines scripted for them. There was only one point at which there was one of these moments, in the beginning when Anakin meets Padme behind the pillar and he tells where he’s been in the passing months. But that was it. It’s just that so many questions are left unanswered. Where is Grievous from? Why does he have a human heart and a continuous cough? How does it come about that Anakin turns faster in five minutes then his entire 19 or so years of training taught him to stay with the light side? Why is Padme such a whimp now? Don’t EVEN get me started on the things that don’t match up with the hold movies.

-IIIIIII’m 18 now, but I haven’t really noticed all that much. I don’t know if I will. I’m still trying to let it sink in that I’m an adult out of high school. It’s been kind of cool how it’s worked out, though, because my birthday and graduation have just melded together into the ONE GIGANTIC MONITARY GIFT-GIVING WEEKEND EXTRAVAGANZA! Awesome!

-There are Skittles allll over the deck now.

-I ended up reading at my baccalaureate. I did the benediction after Michael Tolle read. It was a very nice ceremony. I was told I was ‘VERY Catholic’. That I ‘Seeped CATHOLICISM!’. Yes, my job is done.

-Brett Martin did a wonderful job of the prayer. I knew he would, he’s very religious, and very faithful. I enjoyed it very much and yes, I did do the sign of the cross.
