It's All Over (and another book finished!)

Yesterday was my last day of high school. Ever. It could hardly have been better.

The morning (and frankly, the rest of the day) was made amazing by the successful silly stringing of Peter. Last weekend my mom and I had gone to the dollar store to get washclothes to freeze for the band. While we were there, I saw some silly string. At one dollar a can, I figured I might as well get 5 cans. At that time, I still didn't know what I would use them for, but it seeme dlike a good idea anyways. Well, Peter was very deserving of getting silly stringed for a variety of reasons that I won't go into now (dealing with stolen instruments, etc) and out of all the people in the band, I figured no one would get too upset at him getting stringed, and I didn't think he would be too upset about it (but I couldn't really guess what his reaction would be). So after some deep thought and consulations, a plan was made for when to ambush him. It was decided taht right after Tom-tom would talk to us after band on the last day of school (since we usually meet up on the grassy median at that point). As soon as she finished her little pep speech, the people with the silly string would brutally attack Peter. Keister, Caleb, Jackson, Andy and Tim were all more than willing to do it. I made sure I had my camera ready, and it went perfectly. Here's the short video clip:



It was awesome. He smelled awful, and it did stain his shirt a bit, but it was still awesome.

In English we had a breakfast party and then Chris J had won a bet against GR, so we got to have a techno party. It was interesting.

Then 3rd period came. My last 3rd period in the LGI, my last music class with HC. *sniff* The great sadness of the moment was completely overshadowed by the fact Will had brought in his copy of OUR Les Mis production (Sunday night). So that's when the Les Mis marathon of the day began, with virtually a cast reunion at one point.

4th period we gave Mrs. Taylor (our Bio teacher) a cute little picture of the 5 of us, then headed out to Hokey Pokeys for ice cream. Then we got back during 5th period, so we went and watched more of Les Mis.

6th period Sarah F and I went to the Crystal City Bakery to pick up some pizza for lunch. Then we came back, and -suprise!- watched more Les Mis!

7th period, Eleanor, Katie and I skipped out of Hurd's class to - watch Les Mis!

8th period, I went to ToK for a bit, (to help start the organization of GR's gift), then left to....go watch Les Mis! At the end of the period we went and have GR an inner tube that we signed because "she's our lifesaver"

9th period I hung out in the LGI while Hannah and Eleanor rehearsed "For Good".

Afterschool, Peter had saved the silly string and balls of silly string were seen flying through the band room as we chased each other (until Peter hurt himself...not my fault, btw!)

After that, Sarah Jane, Beth, Ben and Carole came with me to Hokey Pokeys for ice cream. And I did the obnoxious senior thing - honking the car horn as we drove away from East.

After ice cream, I went up to Kayla's house for an afternoon/evening of badmitton using rules from badmitton, tennis, baseball, volleyball and racketball. Then a water gun fight ensued. Followed by a water balloon fight. Then dinner, a walk around the neighborhood and then just laying out in the grass, doing nothing. It was AWESOME!!!

Basically, it was an AMAZING last day of school!

Today I finished another book! Which means that's 2 down, 18 to go! I finished "Sundays at Tiffany's" by james Patterson. It was a quick. light read. It's about a girl who has an imaginary friend, who see meets again later in life, and he's actually a real person. Yes, many people would consider it a chessy read, but it was a nice change from what I normally read.
