Your probably all completely sick of hearing of my crazy schedule by now. My complaints and irritations. So without complaining let me lay how I FEEL my mind is working in a simple metaphor, and then I'll stop. Imagine a blank piece of paper 8x10 your stranded piece. Now imagine trying to study for something really important off that blank piece of paper, but you can't because it's blank. That's how I've felt the past few weeks. Well last two in particular. I have all this stuff to do, temple videos, exams, homework, Scarborough, social stuff (thanks to graduation) but my mind pulls a blank. The only thing I can ever focus on is Scarborough. It's like some part of me has just decided what is the most important, close to it's heart thing and that is all I am allowed to see. Unfortunately for me Scarborough is not the most educationally or socially important thing so the past two weeks have been like trying to hug an over sized porcupine. From the back.
Done with that though I think so far I have done surprising well on my tests, history, journalism, math whizzed through them, as if my blank piece of paper said hey I want let you understand these questions, but here's the answer. Am I making any sense? Spanish was difficult, but luck seems to be on my side in that class. I have two more exams to go, both a laugh. A non-existent bio exam (long story) and band which is more a test of minor intelligence. So part 1 of school for the year is almost over (more of the meaning of this later).
And Scarborough is going well, it had better be! Elizabeth and I are spending vast amounts of time editing the thing. Between two and five hours a day after school. And today we completed most of it. All that is left is to upload it to the different places that will be done! I'll post a link here.
Finally something not directly a hinderence to me but a sad tugging at my heartstrings is the graduation of my best school friend Kismet. We met over a plate of chocolate vegan cupcakes. Both animal lovers, vegetarians, band geeks (although she is slightly more refined, in the guard) an.... the list is endless. Although two years apart we quickly made friends, and have stayed so for the past two years. On Saturday morning she graduated from High School. Although we still have the summer to spend together I ca feel the ball of my future starting to pick up speed now, rolling down a hill to who knows where. Hopefully it is a good place, and hopefully I will not be hurt along the way. But for now all I can do is hope.
There are many things I want to expand on, but for now be satisfied with this.

Rolling, Rolling, Down a Hill
