Journal


Yea, I'm just kinda bored so I figured I'd update my journal to get the "I'm learning css" thing off.. Figure this one will probably work ok for a while :)

So nothing terribly exciting going on in life.. school's still coming to and end (two more weeks! ;)), and all of my ap classes have pretty much ended. Some friends of mine and I are going to play croquet in the halls on wednesday, should be fun :D. The only classes I really have left are speech and economics. For our final project in econ I'm making a board game based around owning a pizzeria.. thought I may as well have fun with it if I have to do it anyway :)

On a completely different note I won the John Philips Sousa award earlier this week! It's a band / music award given to one band student at each high school. It's a $350 scholarship (which isn't much all things considered) but hey, I'm damn proud of it! Unfortunately, all we're doing in band right now is practicing our music for graduation and for our marching band show next year, neither of which I'll play in (assuming I pass econ :P j/k)

Graduation party is coming up next friday! Unfortunately, that means lots of preparation over the next couple of weeks (I'm planning on having between 50 and 70 people...). Should be pretty fun though :D hopefully all the work will be worth it!

Well I've pretty much run out of things to ramble about.. hmm... one more thing, I'm going to post an email one of my friends sent me that made me laugh, but at the same time kinda made me want to cry for the future..

THE SNEEZE

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium.  With their rich maroon gowns flowing .. and the traditional caps,  they looked almost .. as grown up as they felt.

Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.

This class would NOT pray during the commencements ---- not by choice, but because of a recent court ruling prohibiting it.

The principal and several students were careful to stay within the guidelines allowed by the ruling.
They gave inspirational and challenging speeches, but no one mentioned divine guidance and no one asked for graduates or their families.

The speeches were nice, but they were routine.....until the final speech received a standing ovation.

A solitary student walked proudly to the microphone. He stood still and silent for just a moment, and then, it happened.

All 92 students, every single one of them, suddenly SNEEZED!!!!

The student on stage .. simply looked at the audience and said, 'GOD BLESS YOU, each and every one of you!' And he walked off stage ... The audience exploded into applause. This graduating class had found a unique way to invoke God's blessing on their future with or without the court's approval.


Yup.. that'd be it.. Thanks for everything

Congratulations on winning that award. The amount doesn't matter, because you can use that award in your resumes and any future college applications. You don't have to put down how much the award gave you. Thanks for sharing the email with us. We had a minister give our graduating class a prayer and blessing and the agnostics all survived without long term emotional damage. People can come up with the silliest things to complain and make laws about!
