home stretch!!
posted april 9th, 2025This is it guys... the home stretch!! Senior year is VERY quickly coming to a close for me. I'm just about a month and a half (give or take) from my graduation day, and even closer than that to my last day of school. As of writing this, I have just finished sending out the first round of my graduation party invites. Second round will consist of my teachers (emailing it to them since I haven't actually printed out invitations... lmao)
In this desperate race towards the finish line, there's actually a couple of things my teachers are having me do at school to keep me busy. Firstly, I've had a project in my economics class for probably about 2 months now, and the final due date for all of the components put together for the project is Monday. The only thing left I have to do for it is to get together with my partner (group project partner) and record a video. Well, and then I have to edit the video. And I also have to make a model for our project. So.. I have a couple of things left to do for it. I'll be fine. Next, in my english class we've just been assigned a new project! This is like a "Senior Footprint" project, where we have to come up with a video (damn, a whole lot of videos going on right now) that is like.. encapsulating what our time was like when we were in school. We're supposed to go around and interview teachers and bring up old clips and everything for it, and that's pretty exciting. Only problem is that I was cringey as shit all through middle school (we can include middle school and elementary school clips and photos) and that didn't really ever go away so I have to find a way to make myself seem really cool in this video for all my peers and teachers to watch on the due date (May 5th).
Other than that, in general life terms, I've gotten a little busier this past week than I have been, and it's been a nice distraction from all the other stressors. I've had throwing practice a couple nights a week until around 6 o'clock (on top of normal track practices which have me going after school until around 4-4:30). My track season has officially kicked off with our first meet, which happened yesterday. I got second in discus and the 400m dash, third in shotput, and first in our 4x100m relay! This was really exciting for me, since I've been begging my track coach to let me and my teammates run this relay. I literally love relays so much, they're so much fun. Anyways. It was so cold yesterday, and our new jerseys have the TINIEST little holes in them.. ALL OVER THEM. Talk about freezing.
I'm also preparing for college on the real life level. I haven't heard anything from my University since the confirmation that I got into their music program after my audition (yay!!), until I started getting e-mails about registering for classes. I was wary at first, since I wasn't really sure if I was actually supposed to be doing all this or if I was supposed to wait. I guess I'm just a little dumbfounded that this is all becoming real lmao. I'm so so excited though. So after meeting with my guidance counselor this morning, I was sent on my way to set up an appointment with my Academic Advisor at my University! I have it all scheduled and now I just have to wait. Besides all the literal college stuff, I'm also still stressing about scholarships. I was told last week that I am a finalist for a 10,000 dollar scholarship! I have to go in next Wednesday to interview for it, and I'm really nervous. I have to make a call to the place that's giving out the money and confirm that I am who I say I am and that I'm aware of my interview time. We're on day... seven? of procrastinating. Whoops! I'll do it tomorrow (literally. I have to LMAO).
Life is good! The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing. There is much pain in the world but not in this room.
