Three Weeks To The Day

That's right...at this time in three weeks, I'll no longer be a senior...no longer live in the environment I've furnished for four years...it was my home away from home, my life for typically 11 hours a day...the students, the teachers, the architecture, the classrooms...I loved it all...and soon, I will leave it all...I'll only visit SHS maybe 3 times next year, and then once the year after that (not counting the things I go to see my sis in)...By this time next year, I'll only be iming with 3 people probably, and only spending time maybe with one...and by this time in 2 years, I'll have lost all of you, replaced by new college people...i hate change...i can't deal with it

This thought process is being pushed along by the fact that I need to make 4 million decisions for NU by the end of the month, including housing, freshman seminars, and a probably schedule.

So enough of the complaints

Back to my symantics post of whenever...I also say "ahmen" not "aymen"

Hey, conducting a little poll...let me know if you still read this...I'm just wondering...I have a number in my head, wondering if I'm wrong...just use the ol' tagboard and let me know.

Ooh, today, I had a barrel of fun...I got to ride in parade...the "Norwegian Heritage League" Parade in Park Ridge...I won a scholarship from them, so I got to be in a wagon pulled by fjord horses waving to a whole bunch of people (surprised me) on the sides of the streets..it was a fun time...got to shake the hand of a former Norwegian Prime Minister (my essay for the scholarship was of course historically based, so I loved meeting a piece of history...of course)

How do y'all feel about this end of the year project stuff...I've got 4 going on...and I can't say I hate any of them, but I hate doing them...Most, I probably hate government = debating affirmative action and creating a board game, boring...Bio is fun = disecting a cat and taking a cat practical I gurantee I will get a 5% on...English = i get to do a report on campaign button collecting...and Stats = a big project on baseball statistics...a lot of fun, but a lot of work...but I'M NOT SLIDING!!!

Well, that's all for today ladies and gentlemen...

5/16 = Cubs finish off a SWEEP of the San Diego Padres, 4-2. Here's an interesting stat: Cubs hit 7HR in new PetCo Park (don't get me started on naming it "PetCo Park"...maybe my next rant) in 3 games...Padres hit 11HR at PetCo Park in 21 games...how bout that?

Random Factoid: Following Gagan's advice, doing exclusively president stuff...let me know if you hate it...Abe's son Robert was present for three President's deaths/shootings: his father's, Garfield's (at the train station, member of cabinet), and McKinley's (being honored as Abe's son)
