The Classic Rule of Three

I'm referring to literature and pop culture, you know, how almost everything is in threes.

3 days of school
3 days on the weekend to prepare for 3 days of school
3 days of senior goodbye stuff (picnic, brunch, graduation)
3 nominees for the best/most lists (i know the results...i may accidently mention them if I find a c-note in my hand)
3 senior friends I'm really, really going to miss
3 junior choir members we have to leave a legacy to
3 fingers on my left hand

What, you never noticed?

So, this is a busy weekend for me...I guess my last busy weekend of my...oh my god...this is the last weekend of my high school career where I have to return to school...next weekend, I'll never be back in class again...i'm so depressed...will someone give me the number of a good psychologist?

I can't comprehend that this is happening to us...can you out there? It's just too surreal...I remember my first day, my first events, my first year, everything of the past, always knowing I'll be able to do something else tomorrow. Well, on June 3, there is no tomorrow. The life I've adapted to, the life I love and bask in, has to go away...far away.

But, I get to drink root beer water after graduation.

You see, I loved the rootbeer water that the cafeteria served our freshmen year. "Rocky Mountain" was the brand. They also had black cherry and lemon-lime. Then, sophomore year, they changed brands the that "crystal crap" they have now. The water you get today is sour or bitter, but the water of yesteryear was sweet and soothing, at least rootbeer and black cherry...so, anyway, thinking ahead and being the typical sentimental slob that I am, I bought a bottle of root beer water for $1.25 (is that how much it still costs?). That bottle has been in my refrigerator for 3 years...I even remember perfectly walking through the halls the day i bought it, showing it to people, and saying that I'd be saving it to graduation...we could all celebrate with the forgotten rootbeer water I said.

That was always supposed to be the event that would come at some time...in 9 days, that rootbeer water is being consumed, the official sign that our high school careers are done.

5/28 = worst day of the year for the Cubs. Two LOSSES on one day, all thanks to Rob Macowiak. Game 1 of double header, Barrett hits a PHGS(8) to give the Cubbies a 1 run lead...then Borowski blows his first save and serves up a WOGS(9) to Macowiak in the 9th. Game 2, Patterson hits a 2runHR(6) and we get some insurance, but Hawkins blows the save, to guess who, Macowiak on a 2run GTHR(10)...the Pirates won in the 10th, I'm not sure how
