A packed schedule and excited thoughts
These next two months will be some of the busiest in my life, but as high school is close to an end, I am glad my last few weeks as a senior will definitely be eventful. With testing, prom, my dad’s fiftieth birthday party, weddings, my graduation, and many other events in the upcoming days and weeks, there is much to prepare for and even more to look forward to.

More counting down
It’s been two weeks since my last entry . . . which means there’s only a month of school left before I graduate and then just two months of summer before I leave for college.

At this time in the year, most seniors can claim a case of “senioritis” — not wanting to do anything because of how soon they will be entering college. I’m not extremely excited about college yet, but I am enjoying end-of-the-year activities, especially for seniors. For example, the senior trip this year (which I helped plan, I must add) will be three days in Chicago, making it the farthest I’ve been from home and the longest I’ve stayed in a large city. Also, Crittenden has a tradition where parents (including my own mother), with the help of student fundraising, plan a special activity after graduation. This year, that means overnight laser tag in Nashville. Maybe it’s a sign my priorities are off if I’m looking forward more to Six Flags and Chicago than actually leaving high school, but there will be plenty of time during the summer for the reality of moving out to sink in.
