Things are finally starting to ease up at Governor’s School. I think that’s whats letting it all set it. We’re really graduating. I’m done with all my finals, I have one more test tomorrow in between graduation practice and some other fun. I’m loosening up when it comes to grades and school and everything. Even though I won’t have any classes,  that I really need to go to (other than possibly some presentation on Thursday) I think I’ll still go to class. I’ll miss everyone at Governor’s School. And even a few people at base school. I plan on being a lot better at actually hanging out with people this summer. At least compared to these previous summers I’ve had. I’ll be looking for a job to pay for anything I want to do for fun during freshman year. Thanks to my graduation gift from my mom, I’ll be able to get that bow that I wanted to get! Hopefully I’ll get to shoot with Hannah/Marie. I want to get more confident too, so I can talk to people at Tech. Or ask girls on dates. Or other stuff I guess. I’m excited to go to college! I never really thought I’d live long enough to go to college, as morbid as that sounds. After this week, base school can go fuck itself because gov school will be over and I’m done with finals. I really do want to keep seeing just about every kid at gov school, so hopefully we’ll keep in touch. I know Josh’ll be sleeping in my room during the Victoria’s Secret party ;D he has to bring home at least one VS girl for that to work though.

…Erik what is pop-porn? I have to do a psych project concerning kicks for kids. I’m getting so sick of the organization that I refuse to donate towards it.

From what I remember, pop-porn was porn in the pop culture. I think something about how it was viewed by the public compared to the individual or something like that? I don’t remember too much of it because Ms. Sulkin was quick to shoot that one down. Another failed topic was sex trafficking, but I remember even less about that one. Yeah, I just finished this last paper and I’m thinking it’s actually a good representation of how I treated high school: a half assed job that I’m just hoping will get me a passing grade.

I think I can write a good bit when I’m motivated to do so, or even if it’s just a topic I’m interested about. Like for my 11th grade research paper, I didn’t know what I wanted to do for the longest time (some failed topics included legalization of prostitution, the treatment of prostitutes in countries where it’s legal compared to where it’s not, and pop-porn). After I finally settled on doing gay rights, I had no problem sitting down and writing for a few hours until it was done. I even managed to get a decent score on it. I enjoyed researching about the riots that happened, the discrimination faced by homosexuals then and now, and the emotion that came with writing about something I cared about. Now I’m stuck doing this stupid government paper. Yeah, it’s on poverty so it’s not like it’s something I don’t care about at all. But there’s a government spin on it, and that just turns me off of it completely. I would rather complain about it for a while on tumblr rather than start actually working on it. I thought it was due Thursday until my friend reminded me it was tomorrow. Fuck. The second part of it deals with the Kicks for Kids project that I’ve done little to no work for. Even the guy we interviewed for it said that if we wanted to make a difference we’d need a lot more time to establish a relationship with our local government before asking them for shit. I hate this class, but I need it to graduate. Just one last assignment and then I’m done with it forever. Yeah, I know “government is everywhere!” but honestly I don’t care. I guess I’ll start writing the damn paper now. 

This watch looks really cool, but it’ll be expensive as hell :/

Even after we’ve finished up the year, she’s still managed to mess things up. In the wise words of Mr. Mudd, she cock-blocked me. I was (hopefully) about to get my chance today, then out of nowhere (really, I thought my name was coming from the heavens) she calls my name and asks me to carry textbooks/lab manuals/binders for her to her office. I finished with a couple minutes to spare, but it would be one of the few days where we get let out a few minutes early. I’m not really expecting anything, but a nice night with some interesting conversation could be fun. I’d like a break from the school work and she seems like a very nice girl. I found out my English project is due tomorrow and my Gov paper is going to be due soon enough. Not good. I don’t see the purpose for these things, but I don’t have a choice. I visited my old Geometry teacher today like I usually do, but she wasn’t there for a while. Her kids were complaining that they were still going to be learning, and it made me laugh because their arguments against learning were that the “government makes the teachers teach for the SOL and that’s it.” Hopefully I can man up soon and ask her. Whenever I’m alone or in class I feel like I will as soon as I see her, but then I see her and my balls decide to take a vacation.

I just spent a long time on my AutoCAD homework, and as soon as I put the last touch, I realized the part that gave me the most trouble is off by the tiniest bit. Both sections of the little cable hole of my Conceptual desk are a tiny bit too low, and you can easily see it. I’m pretty sure I’ll just turn it in now, whatever. I also have a project that counts as a final to do, another project to help the F I have in english, and a TARC project that Michelle has been slaving away at. 

I went to my friend’s Graduation party and it was the first one of many that are coming up. I’m wondering if any of them will be able to top this one. George, Alex, and I started things off by going on the dance floor and making fools of ourselves. That was honestly the best night I’ve had all year. I could write about it for hours, but it’d just boil down to how much I had fun. After we started dancing, everyone else thought it’d be cool to do it so then it got crowded. God, it was hot. I pretty much spent the night trying to grind up on Alex, but that didn’t work out very well. I was the first gov school kid there I think, so I met up with some other hokies and talked to new people for a bit. As soon as Ashley and Alex got there I started talking to them and it was nice. Dancing was definitely the highlight of the night for me, and I had a lot of fun. We tended to trade dance partners every song, so I mostly danced with Ashley, Hannah, and Alex. Like I said, I tried to grind with Alex all night and probably got about 5 seconds in total. After dancing with Ashley a while I think I actually improved. At least, I got the whole spinning the girl around down. And dancing with Hannah was just fun. It was intense. haha I made her awkward by looking at her. Josh and Andreas seemed to be the only gov school kids branching out and dancing with other girls, but I guess that’s expected. After the party (a bit after the police came) I took Paola and her friend to my car to give her the gift I bought her: a flask. It had a mustache on it. I think she really liked it, so that’s good. Hopefully tomorrow is nice, I mean it’s my older brother’s graduation party. Paola knows some cute people. I’m glad I stayed with the gov school kids though, I really enjoy their company. Plus, I talked to Ashley more in one night than I have in like two years. Not because I didn’t like her or anything, she’s just smarter than me and chose a different science. I believe she’s in Linear Algebra and Chemistry. We all danced until the DJ started packing things up, then we went inside and talked for a bit. Sang is scarily good at rock paper scissors. I wish I could hang out with the gov school kids all the time to do dance and enjoy ourselves. We spent a long time just studying and not having fun. I think Alex more than any of us. I just stay home because I have no life. Plus, the more dances we have, the better chance I have of actually getting to grind with Alex. Or other people ;D Specific people.

looks pretty good, also, in case you didn’t know, on those types of recurves you can swap out the limbs for ones with stronger draw strength or lower draw length, also you will want to get your draw length checked, not everyone is 28 inches

Yeah, I noticed that on the things I read about it. The draw length thing was just the standard they had. I think I’ll go to the archery place that’s like down the street from OP to get measured for what size I should get?
