The Finish Line is in Sight...

I've had many times in my life where I feel like a ginormous countdown clock is attached to my head... and its not an easy way to live. I feel like I have so much to do in so little time and I panic and freak out and stress... then the day actually comes and I cry a lot. That's the typical equation. But before that, I always find myself thinking... how did I get here so quickly? I had, for example, eight weeks! How did they disappear to seven little days?....

Thankfully, since I went through these exact questions last November, I have a fairly good idea of how to handle them now. First thing: say everything that needs to be said. I've had a lot of talks with my friends this week and I don't want anything to be forgotten...its really helpful because then I don't wake up at three in the morning panicking because I forgot to tell someone I loved them or about how much they mean to me... stuff like that.

Tuesday night, Glee was on and of course it was amazing (: That show has given me something to look forward to every week and got me through a tough time... I will be so sad to see the season finale. Then Katie, Jess and I went to Cherry Berry, a new yogurt place in Derby. Not as good as Orange Leaf, but we had some great talks and we helped each other through a difficult time. I <3 my girls.

Wednesday was Worlds of Fun (: and it was exactly what I needed to take my mind off the big day... we had soooo much fun. Katie, Jess and I rode the rip cord and we rode every roller coaster once and we ate bad-for-us-food and we just had an amazing time. Until the bus ride home... it started storming (senior trip curse...it is real) and we couldn't sleep because it was leaking ON MY HEAD and every time I would sleep, I'd have a nightmare that the van James and Chris were in was crashing because of the heavy rain. It was a looong ride home. The best part was the stop at Wendy's where we all shared horror stories of the ride and entertaining stories of the day. And the frosties... those too.

Thursday I stayed home (: I didn't care enough to go plus I had soooo much to do. The bus got back 2 hours after we were supposed to, I was sun burned, I had cut my foot and I was in a bad mood. I went to Perkins' class then left. I did my psych final (92!!), Calculus, Physics, and James' resume so he wouldn't fail advisory. Once I got all better, Friday was a cinch. It was my last Friday ever and I was super sad, but Monday is going to be soooooooo much worse. Friday night, I took Katie to see Night of the Living Dead, our schools spring play... it was a bad idea.... Since I don't want to hurt my friends who worked so hard on the plays feelings, I'm not going to talk about it. After, I rode with James to Village Inn, a theater tradition! I missed my theater friends soooo much this year... it was my first year without it. I did four shows at MHS, each time in a different area. We talked and laughed and watched James and Kenneth down bottles of syrup (nasty) and ate pie. Then James brought me home after we talked for a while and I got ready for my morning with KWCH (:

Saturday I went with my mom to Corporate Caterers and ate breakfast and got my picture taken and clip filmed for KWCH's Top of the Class. So from now on, look on KWCH.com and watch the news and look for me representing Mulvane High! I can't show pics because I want it to be a surprise... sorta lol.

That night, I went with Katie and her family and rodeo friends to Mosley Street Melodrama to see their version of GLEE! It was possibly the best night of my life. I laughed and cried and ate great food and downed two slushies (so did Katie) (: One of the actors was amazingly good looking and could sing like a God... he was a bass, tenor, alto, and soprano all in one. So amazing! After the show, Katie and her mom and dad helped me get a pic and his autograph! He's done off broadway shows, so he may become famous again and I can say I met him!! (: (He also played Kurt in the show, which is my favorite character in Glee!)

So today is my wrap up day! Get ready for my party on Saturday and finish all my work :) I am so nervous, but very excited.. I see the light at the end of the tunnel! Or maybe the finish line on the first leg of the race...

Final College Grades! :)
