Hide and Seek
May 16th, 2008
I don’t think I really learned much during the past school year. I wasn’t really challenged by any of my classes, and things turned out a little too easily.
The one thing I’ve learned this year is to expect nothing. Everything turns out better when you keep an open–and empty–mind.
Evidence:
- Scholarship interviews: fail
- Random $500 scholarship (x2!): awesome
- Pessimism about Science Bowl and Olympiad: sweet
Therefore, expect nothing and you will be pleased.

Today was officially my last full day of high school.
What??
I have four AP tests left next week, and Friday is a half-day because of the finals I don’t have to take.
My grandma is coming into town next week. I’m graduating in 11 days. My aunt’s coming to visit. The weather is warm. Prom is tomorrow. This is good.

As much as I would have liked to not believe it before, it is no longer possible to neglect it.
All of life is a popularity contest. So…? Suck up to everyone?
I really wish I had one thing that I was really good at. I guess I shouldn’t complain, but sometimes I feel like I’m almost too rounded. I would have liked to have been the artistic kid, or the actor, or the mathematics god.
Now I feel self-absorbed, so to make up: I love the world?

I would wish it to be pointed out that I am essentially done with my basic education. Whoa.
Two weeks and three days of finals left. I’m not taking finals. I have five days of AP exams. I can miss up to five days and still exempt finals.
Therefore, I am done.
But I want to go back.
