Oh school, how strange thou art!

Hey there cool people :)

So, I'm a bit confused about the fact that it's almost the end of the week yet only one of us managed to post...awkward...

Anyways, this is a ramble post about anything that I feel like talking about because the theme of the week is so vague I can run with anything I like. So....let's talk graduation.

We all spend 13 years in these institutions called school and it all becomes routine. We know that there is an expiration date to our time at this place, yet it never seems to near. Well, today, I had a big smack in the face by my graduation paperwork and it's starting to actually dawn on me that the day is coming! I have only two more months of high school!

Until then, of course, I have the most stressful time of my life as AP exams are coming up in the first week of May, plus a Calculus final exam, plus three History projects due between now and June, plus scholarships to apply for, plus job hunting, and holy crap after that I'm done! I'M DONE! It's still difficult for me to picture myself wearing that graduation gown at commencement - the one I had to order the day before yesterday. Or attending the graduation banquet for which I now have to order tickets. Or moving across the country to study at the university whose offer I'm accepting in a few days.

It really makes me think about how weird time is. I mean, sometimes it goes by so fast and you can't believe when it's all over. Sometime, you can feel each tick of each second of each day. And even though that's what school has felt like for me - a long, endless process of tests and projects and friends and grades - I'm suddenly feeling like it all passed by really quickly. I'm stuck in this weird place where I both feel how long I've been in this stage of my life, but also how fast my generation has grown. A few weeks ago, I found out one of my friends got into a school in the UK for surgeons. This kid whom I've known for years is going to be cutting people up and saving lives in some 4 years!

Anyways, sorry for the poor attempt at expressing my feelings and the lame pseudo-deep stuff up there, but that's just what's been going on most recently in my life.

Look forward to reading you tomorrow, Bridget :)
