Graduation and Grad Night

So, I graduated high school a week ago, and I've not shared it here yet. I'm still working on getting all caught up and de-stressed from that week, so, like it almost always is, my poor little blog was pushed to the back burner. Sad day. Anyway, here are some pics for you all to enjoy.

 There were so many of us, but it was a nice ceremony. It actually didn't take as long as I thought it would either. We had Grad Night the next day. We all went down to Disneyland for the night and had a blast. The weather was perfect and the whole place felt like one giant club. Disneyland is way different at night.

Funk

*weheartit*

I'm in a funk. I don't know what it is, but it's starting to harsh my mellow. I'm not sure if the big life changes that are happening over the next few months are what's put me in this funk, but regardless of the cause, I really need to break this.

Emily Kittybot

Hey guys. Do you remember that sweet little giveaway that I posted about in April? Of course you do. Well, dear readers, guess what? I won! Thanks so much to Jaco of The Lovebot Factory as well as Polly of the littlest polly for this awesome giveaway. I love, love, LOVE Miss Emily Kittybot! Here are some pics, in case you'd like to take a gander.

I Almost Forgot!

So I mentioned a while back that I was looking for a new purse. Well, I went to Burlington Coat Factory on Sunday and I FOUND ONE! I'm super excited. I also found a cute pair of sandals for this summer, if our bipolar desert weather ever realizes that it's June and time to be warm!

My awesome new purse.

And my sweet new shoes with my adorable cat in the background.

I also got my yearbook on Tuesday!

My senior picture.

For some reason, our yearbook decided to devote an ENTIRE spread to Harry Potter. Sad, but true. Personally, I think the space could have been used better, but I know a LOT of people who were happy about this.

Me and some of my friends at lunch. I'm so proud of our yearbook staff. This is one of the best yearbooks our school has seen in a long time. I was Editor-in-Chief my eighth grade year and my friend was EIC for her senior year, so I totally know about the stress that goes with producing a great book. Speaking of my friend, the EIC, she is graduating tomorrow night! I'm so excited for her and I will definitely be in the audience cheering! Yay graduation!

Two Weeks

Two weeks from today, I kiss high school good-bye. Two weeks from today, something that has been a huge part of my life for thirteen plus years will end. Two weeks from today, I graduate. Bring it on.

Ditching is Fun

So, the beach didn't work out today, but Senior Ditch Day was awesome anyway. My friend Katie and I decided to drive down to Victoria Gardens, an out-door shopping mall somewhat close to where we live. We had so much fun. The weather was gorgeous and we walked around to our hearts' content. We went into a high end pet store to look at the puppies they had for sale, and then looked in H&M, Forever 21, Hot Topic, Claire's and Aeropostale. We, being the nerds that we are, proceeded to spend a full 30-45 minutes in Border's, which is a book store. We both really love to read. After Border's, we got some Panda Express and wandered around a little more. That was when we saw the Apple store and decided to go in. We spent a full hour in there. We played with the MacBook Pro for a little while, but mostly we played with the iPhone 4. I think I'm in love. That phone is amazingly cool. Apple has some really nice products with some really nice features. I'm exhausted, so I'm going to sleep now. Sorry if this post is a little all over the place, but if I didn't blog about this now, it would have been another week before I got to it.

p.s. My quest for a new purse seems to be never ending...

Single Digits

Hello again! I have nine school days left. Nine! It's still about twelve school days until I graduate, but school I am done with in nine days. I'm so exited! Tomorrow is senior ditch day, so I will be at the beach with some friends of mine. I love the beach, and that's one of the things I'll miss when I move to land-locked New Mexico. Tonight, in honor of not having to get up for school in the morning, I went to see Thor with two of my friends. I really liked it. The guy who played Thor was very good looking. He reminded me of Heath Ledger a bit, which made me sad and happy. I love Heath Ledger. He was an amazing actor. I saw the new Pirates of the Caribbean last week. I went to the midnight showing, actually, even though it was on a school night. I'm a pretty big fan of that particular franchise, and the fourth movie was better than I thought it would be. Penelope Cruz did not suck as much as I thought she would, which was a nice surprise. That being said, I still feel very strongly that they should have ended the series after number three. Three would have been a good end point. Now they have to do more to get to that point again and I think the franchise will die a self-imposed death. I love Jack Sparrow (and Johnny Depp) and he deserves better than that. The dialogue of that movie was really good though. It was witty and gave the movie a nice flow, since the plot and scene changes were a tad choppy. Sorry, rant on movies is done now. I'll be back with another post this weekend documenting our beach trip and the other things I did during this glorious four day weekend.
