It's almost over

My God this year is ending so quickly. It is crazy. I almost hate it, yet I love it at the same time. Bittersweet is not the term...
Graduation is in fifteen days. I am going to hate to see all of my closest friends leave. 90% of my friends reside in this year's senior class. I really hope I am able to keep in touch with and see a lot of them after everything is said and done. I had to write a paper about Graduation this week and I cried while writing it... I am seriously going to miss some really amazing people. An upside to this event is, I AM A SENIOR. I am too hype for my last year at Dale. I am really looking forward to going to ODU, too. I just hope my senior year goes as smooth as possible.
Speaking of Graduation, the orchestra has started to prepare the music for the ceremony. It just makes the day that much harder. Our bass section is losing Brandon and everyone is torn up about it. Even though most of us are leaving the orchestra after this year, we still hate to see him leave. We are so close, it is like family. We all mean a lot to each other and most of us are best friends. Graduation is going to be so rough this year. I know I will need to take a box of tissues or something...
I decided to go to Prom. It was pretty good. I had a great time. Minus some typical drama, it was all good. I went in a group with some good friends and a few people I did not know. We had dinner at Texas de Brazil and I almost pissed myself when I saw the bill. Four of us shared a ticket and the total was $305. FOR DINNER... I am totally not used to eating at a pish posh restaurant like that, but it was a good experience. Even without Cam as my date, I had a great time. I am almost happy he did not go because I would not have wanted to dance with just him all night.

With the last few weeks of school winding down, I am desperately searching for a sumer job. I refuse to work somewhere fast food. Sorry, but I am above that mess. I would not mind working somewhere like a coffee shop or smoothie hut, though. Only because I venture to those often. I would really like to work in retail, but most places want you to be at least 18 years old... I am a year short. Ugh. Oh well, wish me luck with the job hunt.
Looks like I am running for an SCA office again this year. I really wanted to run for Senior Class President, but there are a lot of people running for that position. I am like, "Uhh.. No.. Nevermind.." So, I have settled on SCA President. Which is just a step up in office for me, but I know I will love it and get the job done.

Back to the friends thing, the one guy that I really fell for is graduating. I hope we stay in touch for a long time, but I doubt it will last much longer than a few months after he leaves... I honestly do not think he realizes how much he means to me, but that is okay I guess. I am not going to tell him because I do not want to bother him with all that mess. He has enough to worry about with college, football, and everything else. If he is happy, I am happy. That is all there is to it. As for the other few guys I got close to this year, I will miss them as well. They are going off to college and doing their own thing as well. If they want to keep in touch, I am elated and more than willing. If they do not, I am not going to pressure it. I am not going to try and force a friendship that they are not willing to put an effort into. I just hope they know that they will always have a place in my heart.

What happens, happens. It is what it is.

There is really nothing major to complain about. School is almost over for this year. The weather is hot, but nice. I am feelings better all together. I just really hope this keeps up.
