Graduation 2010

Graduation (the 5th) was pretty excellent according to reports I’ve heard (I wouldn’t know myself; I was busy being in it).


Apologies for the blurrry photo. It’s hard to take photos in the gym because of the lighting.

But I did think it went pretty well. Smoothly for sure. Well, except the cheap DVD player that was working an hour before didn’t work when we were going to play the video of the seniors Luke made and the slideshow Mr. Buck put together. Too bad, but not crushing. We swapped in another player after the ceremony and put the stuff on for people to watch.

The cake via Johnny T was pretty decent. Punch was also nice. I thought I got the last mouthful, but then they made more. Feelings of smugness dissolved.

Thank you, everyone who came. I appreciate it. Thanks also to Mr. Buck, Luke Zwanziger (both for video stuff), Archie Hook for being M.C. and such, Mr. Tollefson for being our keynote speaker, and our parents for working with and without us to get ready for this thing.

Then we had a BBQ. And threw a disc around. With Aimee, yep.



The food was good. I drank a Sprite that tasted weird at first. Could have been warm, maybe that’s why.

Lots more pictures in Ashley’s album. More pictures may be coming from Aimee. I'll let you know if they come. More from Aimee right here!

We eventually packed up. Some of us went over to our house to watch Bella. That movie is intense… too bad Matthew, Joseph, Elliot, and… Aimee! couldn’t resist riffing it.

And then Anna and Matthew headed back to Enterprise. Then we shot some baskets. And then we went over to Ashley’s and played Mafia. And then Leann and Jo left. And then Joe (our most excellent narrator) left. And then we hung out and ate stuff and talked and watched part of a musical and whatnot. I mocked Eric’s netbook. Tried to diagnose a problem with Beth’s notebook. Elliot and I left.

At some unknown point after that, I think everybody fell asleep.

a lonely Wednesday

Today was our last full day of school. The Rhetoric class took their final. The Algebra class did tessellation. The Latin Class finished watching Ben-Hur. The US. History class watched some of War Letters, a documentary of letters from and to U.S. soldiers during wars.

Then came clean up - more cleanup upstairs. There is so much junk up there…
Allen, James, and I helped Mr. Buck cleanout books from his office; I carried one from the late 1800s… so old.

So yeah, tomorrow is Thursday, the last day of school. Hopefully it won't be rainy like it was a little while ago (some thunder earlier). Damaris, Marie, and Joseph will be giving their Rhetoric speeches at the picnic, I think.

This is just so… weird.
