More thinking about graduation...

I am so used to seeing the same faces in the hallways at Marcus High School. Some of the faces I have seen practically everyday since 2nd grade. But this last week of school is weird. It seems like every time that I see many of those people, I make a mental note in my mind that "Hey, this might be the last time I ever see that person." I also find myself telling people good-bye and good luck in the future more than once...because I'm not sure whether or not I will get a chance to see them again before our 10 year reunion...and then sure enough...I see them again so I must tell them good-bye and good luck in the future because I may never see you again.

I'm sorry...my mind works very akwardly.

My Buddy Brent, who just so happens to be a youth minister with a passion for teenagers like that of no one else, has a list of links to blogs of current students in his youth ministry and a list of links to blogs of former students in his youth ministry. I was realizing that in a few short days, he will take the names of all of the seniors, myself included, and put them under the Blogs of Former Students link list. I'm not sure when it will hit me that I won't be taught on a regular basis by this amazing servant of God again. But really...Seniors...isn't that sad?

I just finished introducing my brother to the greatness of Bottle Rocket. It just doesn't get any better than that.

Tax dollars hard at work

Tomorrow the senior class will be going to Main Event for 5 hours rather than attending school. We will have free laser tag, bowling, pool, arcade games, and food. I say free...but I mean for $20. But if you know Main Event, you recognize that this is a great deal. Why do seniors even go to school the last few weeks???

GET OUT!!

So when I got home this weekend, my parents had dropped another subtle hint that they are ready for my departure. My bathroom, which used to be dark blue and very obviously a "boy's bathroom", is now bright red and pink with fluffy carpet mats and matching light switch and electricity outlet covers. The shower curtain is also VERY GIRLY. It almost makes me uncomfortable to go in there. I'm sure that my sister will really enjoy her new bathroom. But COME ON!!! At least wait until I'm gone.

So my weekend has been pretty cool. I went down to College Station and camped at a state park down there. On Saturday, I went and did an obstacle course-type-deal that was 30 feet in the air. It involved jumping off of 30 feet tall telephone poles and grabbing a trapeze, walking a balance beam(also 30 feet in the air) BLINDFOLDED, Tight-wire walking and rapelling. It was nice just to get in nature and relax, as well as have a good time.

It's time for my last full week of school....EVER......or at least until I have to start paying for it.
