WOOT! WOOT! High school is over! I had my last final exam today and I am very excited. Sadly, I am also very sick. I know, perfect timing right? I have a really bad cough and chest cold, but I am DETERMINED to be better in time for everyone's graduation parties and graduation itself!
Tomorrow I have to wake up really early to get to school on time for graduation rehearsal! I wish I could just skip it but it is mandatory. I can't believe all my finals are done, my senior check out card is signed, and that after tomorrow I never have to go back there again. Don't laugh, but I am really sad. Think about it! This is your life, everyday, for 9 months out of the year, for FOUR years in a row. Now all of a sudden it is like everything just goes on without you and you have to find your own way. I feel like a little bird just kicked out of the nest. Don't get me wrong, I am stoked, but I am also pretty sad.
Anyways, enough of that depressing talk! How did you like that jewelry how-to that I posted the other day??? I am thinking of doing another one in the next few days. If you guys have anything specific that you want to learn, just let me know!
Well, I watched the MTV Movie Awards and is it just me or does Kristen Stewart have a really awkward presence on stage? I just felt like saying, "Giiirlll, get your hand out of your hair, speak up, and put on a smile!" She is one of the most famous young actresses out there right now because of Twilight's popularity and she lacks a ton of self confidence. Other than that, the awards were really good. Andy Samberg did a really great job and I pretty much agreed with all of the awards.
In other TV news, who saw the season finale of the Hills?! I'm sorry, I just think it is really random to put Kristin Cavallari on the show. The story was based around Lauren Conrad and now it's just not going to be the same. I was pleasantly surprised that Lauren decided to attend the wedding. I hope everything works out for "Speidi." I have been watching a little bit of that jungle show, and I don't know if it is editing or to boost ratings, but Heidi and Spencer act like little spoiled brats. If it is fake, why would you do that to your reputation? You are acting like a bunch of snobby fools!
Sorry for all the TV talk, but I have been sick and this has been my only source of entertainment.
Let's end this really dumb post with a little Dr. Seuss! Huh? :D
Oh The Place's You'll Go
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who'll decide where to go.
You'll look up and down streets. Look 'em over with care.
About some you will say, "I don't choose to go there."
With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet,
you're too smart to go down any not-so-good street.
And you may not find any
you'll want to go down.
In that case, of course,
you'll head straight out of town.
It's opener there
in the wide open air.
Out there things can happen
and frequently do
to people as brainy
and footsy as you.
And when things start to happen,
don't worry. Don't stew.
Just go right along.
You'll start happening too.
OH!
THE PLACES YOU'LL GO!
You'll be on your way up!
You'll be seeing great sights!
You'll join the high fliers
who soar to high heights.
You won't lag behind, because you'll have the speed.
You'll pass the whole gang and you'll soon take the lead.
Wherever you fly, you'll be the best of the best.
Wherever you go, you will top all the rest.
Except when you don' t
Because, sometimes, you won't.
I'm sorry to say so
but, sadly, it's true
and Hang-ups
can happen to you.
You can get all hung up
in a prickle-ly perch.
And your gang will fly on.
You'll be left in a Lurch.
You'll come down from the Lurch
with an unpleasant bump.
And the chances are, then,
that you'll be in a Slump.
And when you're in a Slump,
you're not in for much fun.
Un-slumping yourself
is not easily done.
You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. But mostly they're darked.
A place you could sprain both you elbow and chin!
Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?
And IF you go in, should you turn left or right...
or right-and-three-quarters? Or, maybe, not quite?
Or go around back and sneak in from behind?
Simple it's not, I'm afraid you will find,
for a mind-maker-upper to make up his mind.
You can get so confused
that you'll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place...
...for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a sting of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
NO!
That's not for you!
Somehow you'll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You'll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.
With banner flip-flapping,
once more you'll ride high!
Ready for anything under the sky.
Ready because you're that kind of a guy!
Oh, the places you'll go! There is fun to be done!
There are points to be scored. there are games to be won.
And the magical things you can do with that ball
will make you the winning-est winner of all.
Fame! You'll be famous as famous can be,
with the whole wide world watching you win on TV.
Except when they don't.
Because, sometimes, they won't.
I'm afraid that some times
you'll play lonely games too.
Games you can't win
'cause you'll play against you.
All Alone!
Whether you like it or not,
Alone will be something
you'll be quite a lot.
And when you're alone, there's a very good chance
you'll meet things that scare you right out of your pants.
There are some, down the road between hither and yon,
that can scare you so much you won't want to go on.
But on you will go
though the weather be foul
On you will go
though your enemies prowl
On you will go
though the Hakken-Kraks howl
Onward up many
a frightening creek,
though your arms may get sore
and your sneakers may leak.
On and on you will hike
and I know you'll hike far
and face up to your problems
whatever they are.
You'll get mixed up, of course,
as you already know.
You'll get mixed up
with many strange birds as you go.
So be sure when you step.
Step with care and great tact
and remember that Life's
a Great Balancing Act.
Just never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up your right foot with your left.
And will you succeed?
Yes! You will, indeed!
(98 and 3 / 4 percent guaranteed.)
KID, YOU'LL MOVE MOUNTAINS!
So...
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
you're off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So...get on your way!"
