Spring Break!! AKA End of Senior Year, Coming in HOT!

      Spring break has come and gone already!! Sure, the one week I wouldn't mind if time went by very slowly. That's just how life goes. I can't do anything about it, so I might as well stop complaining. My spring break was so great and much needed. I got a lot accomplished, but at the same time, I got absolutely nothing done. What I mean by that is I can check off many things that I've been meaning to do but couldn't because my scholar duties got in the way.  For example: I repaired/replaced a few broken items, cleaned quite a bit, got that awful closet cleaned out (sort of), I picked up that book that's been sitting on my nightstand for weeks, and...(this is my favorite part) I finally found the time to watch Les Miserables!!! "Life has killed the dream I dreamed."
    However, referring back to the "I got absolutely nothing done" part of the paragraph- I was planning to get a lot of graduation stuff in order....yeah...that didn't happen. Hey! I started. By that I mean I bought the scrapbooks and supplies for said things. My brain keeps telling me that I have plenty of time. I've got nothing but time. I've got time to kill. On the contrary, my logic is telling me that I have no time whatsoever!! Time is the one thing I should wish I had more of. If I had a gallon of milk where the milk represented how much time I had, the gallon jug would be empty!! But to calm a few nerves I've made a list of things that need to be done...it keeps getting longer...I don't like it when the list gets longer.  It's not calming me down.
     Most of the panic's origin is coming from the picture finding and organizing and artistic abilities that should be included but I don't have. I've also been hunting for pictures, but I think our computer ate them all. I know we had more photo files, but the trick is recovering them - digging them up, if you will. I have delved into the very wiry, confusing void that is the stomach of our computer, and what do I have to show for it? I've got about 20 photos. Woo.  I'm kind of freaking out right about now. Excuse me while I douse myself in hysterics. AHHHHH!!!!! WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?!?!  Brooke, calm down.  It's just pictures. It's not the determining factor to your party's success. *Deep breath*
     So that about sums up the stressors of a senior in high school. See no big deal. The end is closing in fast. I can almost taste it.  My one suggestion to future seniors, don't wait on the planning.  Two months or so may seem like a long time, but it's not. Especially when you're including your normal, daily routines like school! or work, or homework, or the occasional get-together with friends. Organize your time. Do it quickly. Do it right. No pressure. :)
