I've FINALLY gotten a game system that is truly mine. I mean, my brother did give me his PS1 and Dreamcast, and my mom lets me (occasionally, when all the planets align) use her PS2, but they're not really mine. In my 16 years of existence, I've never once been allowed to own or buy any type of video game system. And now, I finally have, with the $150 my dad gave me for getting a good grade in my college class! I just went out to GameStop yesterday and bought my Nintendo DS Lite and Sonic Rush for DS. It's amazing & I love it!!

I received my revised gift and scholarship letter from Baylor and with the extra money they're giving me (endowment appreciation letters are the least I can do for 16 000) my mom says what's left after Stafford loans she and my dad will pay off so I'll only be 15 000 in debt going into grad school- allowing I don't mess up and have to take 5 years of undergrad, in which case I have to add 38+ to that 15. But still having that little in debt after undergrad is pretty cool.

I just saw my old sl for the first time since July! *skips around in circles* After the intense difficulties and dramas of this year's concert AND marching band, it was great to see the Face of Reason again. She always makes things better. I hardly said two words to her, but it was great to know she's back for the summer.

Seniors have thier 1st period exams tomorrow, so everyone else is stuck in 1st period for 2 hours. That's AP English for me, which we just finished yesterday at the completion of the AP exam. So, my teacher is letting us watch Juno, she's ordering pizza for us, and somebody's birthday is tomorrow and they're brining in cookies. I'm excited because I normally despise that class, but now that it's over it's all good lol.

Congrats all around!
I have an intensely painful sunburn on my nose and my arms are literally radiating heat from the burn. I got whacked in the head with a rock, I got my pinky finger smashed with another, and I got whipped in the chest with a wiffle ball gone bad. But, boy, was the NHS retreat fun! I also found that as a junior, I got picked to co-chair a committee over some seniors on the committee. I'm pretty excited to be in charge of something for once! And my great-aunt who has breast cancer found out that the surgery to remove the tumor worked 100% successfully and that she won't have to do chemo or take Tamoxafin or anything.

I just found out that I got Best on Site at Solo/Ensemble! I'm the only one from my band who did, and I don't think any choir students did this year. One did last year, but no band kids did last year. Yay!

So...I'm back from UVa Band Beach Week, and it was awesome (actually, I got back on Saturday, but, I, too, have been without internet).
The only downside is that I got really badly sunburned. Like, it looks like I had my back turned to a nuclear explosion, it's that bad. Ah well. Give it another day or two and it should be fully healed.

I just spent the last hour and a half with my gov class playing POLITIX. Best game ever. My partner (the only person in my class of 8 even close to me ideologically) and I did rock-paper-scissors to resolve conflicts. All political problems should be solved that way. Of course the entire class spent that time speaking in Texan-ish accents. And I ordered my WWII surplus coveralls fro my cosplay- I am incredibly excited. Now to find a shirt and patches to go with them. There's a guy in BUGWUB from Lancaster County! Hopefully he's not from township- stupid smart people.

Last night I got four awards at senior awards night recommended by my Spanish, Psych, English, and internship program teachers. I feel so loved since only two people out of the senior class were picked for each. More importantly... I GRADUATE TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;D
