I came back from my high school's "All-Night Party" a little while ago. Every year after graduation, the school hosts this party in the gym from 11 PM to 5 AM. It's so kids stay out of trouble and don't go out and get drunk. There's a lot of fun stuff to do, but I don't feel like getting into that right now.
They have a fortune teller who reads tarot cards. I don't really believe in fortunes all that much, but they're fun. She had me shuffle the deck of cards, and then split them into three piles. This is what each of my cards said:
1) I'm very protected. There are a lot of people who love and care about me.2) I am good at arguing, or will be. I need to learn to speak up more.3) My life has been an emotional roller-coaster. There are ups and downs, but the worst is over.
I guess for the most part they are true. I don't think I'm very good at arguments though.
I just wanted to write a little before I go to bed...maybe. I'll update more about graduation & the party as soon as possible!

[my friend's drink; i liked the color]TODAY IS GRADUATION. It's so surreal, it doesn't even feel like it. I wanted it desperately to be outside at Victory Field, but thanks to the impending rain, the WHS graduation will be inside the gym for the 4th year in a row. It's going to be cramped and sticky. FML.
Yesterday, I went shopping with Jeff and my friends Rachel & Eva. Our main goal was to find a gift for our orchestra teacher. We ended up buying him a "money tree" because we remembered he liked gardening and that stuff. That was basically it. I really like walking around malls when there's not many people. Note to self: go shopping weekday mornings.
We also went to see the movie Up last night. It was very cute. Go see it!
I have graduation rehearsal in it a bit. Still angry about it being inside....BOO.

We celebrated my friend's birthday today by going out to lunch at Fire + Ice. I've never been there before, and it didn't live up to its name. It was good food, but nothing amazing. Afterward, we got bubble tea at the Boston Tea Stop and played some Guess Who? and Uno. Jeff and I went back to his house to finish watching Taken.
It was surprisingly hot today. I thought it was going to be cool but I was burning up! Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to be this nice tomorrow when I go to Kimball Farms. But the weather may be different there. I hope it's fun either way.

I went to the wall painting barbeque for seniors this morning. Every year at Victory Field the seniors paint the bleachers with the class slogan and graffiti it with their names. Our slogan this year is "Destined for greatness, made to shine, Class of 2009." It's kind of cheesy, but I guess we couldn't come up with anything better.
Naturally, people got into paint fights. I wasn't planning on getting paint on me, so I didn't exactly wear my drabbiest clothes. So of course people decide to swipe paint on me. My clothes didn't get too dirty though. But there was paint on my arms, face, and foot. And that's how I went to my Brandeis tour, since I had no time to shower!
Yes, so I actually visited Brandeis. It was a nice campus, but I don't know if it's for me. One, it's a little too small for my liking. And two, they don't have what I'm leaning towards in to study (communications). So it's a slim chance I'll go there. It's a good thing I visited though, so I know this now.
