I have broke FREEEEEE from the shackles of an American Public High School system.... damn! it feels good!!!
Yesterday was the last (unofficial) day of school. Had the last set of final exams and went to the senior picnic. They had Subway for grass-eaters... and I love subway... so I guess, I like this school now. Started roaming around the school once we got done eating and signing each others yearbooks. Went to many teachers and asked them to sign the yrbook as well.
Nothing much really, but finally... I realized one thing. I'm gonna miss some of the teachers and people here.

Done with APs!
and life seems to be b-e-a-utiful once again!
exams really sucks out all the enthusiasm frm one's body. oh well, atleast after exams we get the feeling of achieving something, otherwise what's the point of studying anyways.
got the final exams in exactly 12 days, on the 23rd and 24th of May.. after that - hip hip hoorah!

180 degrees around...
Changes are taking place faster than I expected. I sound different, feel different. My priotities have changed and so has my attitude. I'm planning of doing things that I have not done before. Not only planning, new and unique things are taking place already!
Had the AP Statistics exam today, which went well. Dad dropped me, Mom was going to pick me up around 4:30 but was caught in traffic. While handing me her cell to call Mom, Kavita asked me if I need a ride home. Didn't ever imagine that she would ask me something like that (no particular reason), on top of that I didn't think my parents would start taking risks this soon. Told Mom that Kavita lives close by and has no problem dropping me. She asked me questions due to concern, but at the end her answer was "yes". I rode home with a classmate of mine, who's the same age (well, a couple of months younger) as me. New, very new!
After school on Tuesday, I'm going to Andree's house to study for AP Government exam, which is next Wednesday. Haven't participated in this "study group" thing before, but I gotta start somewhere at some time. Marcel and Paula will be joining us as well.
The Government exam is in the morning and A LOT of seniors are taking it. So, maybe after wards we may hit Fun Bowl and use those 2-free Bowling game coupons we got. Told/Asked Mom about it. She asked me some question.. who's going? who'll be driving? etc. etc. Haven't heard a yes from her side yet, but trust me.. I AM GOING!
Small changes, big impact. Life's taking a turn; a turn... I'm liking already!

Rebirth
Prom was a success. I didn't go just reporting what I learned from eye witnesses. Reading some blogs and talking to some folks, I learned that many GHPers went to their prom with other GHPers (not someone from their school). I could have done that, it would have been perfect! Only downfall... it took me a while to realize this and well, I had already decided not to go. To state the bare truth, I regret my decision. Now that I think about it, I wish I were in that picture... prom dates walking down the red carpet, being captured by Shirley's camera, looking amazing in those elegant dresses, dancing, singing, laughing... **a deep, deep sigh** !
One mere decision can sometimes change how we see the world. People learn from their mistakes, a trout phrase but true! I guess, I've finally learned. It doesn't matter where you are, what surrounds you, or the era you are in. What matters is that you enjoy and participate in the activities and adventure and the practices of that place. Yes, they are traditions, they take place every year, but these annual events are the lasting memories of a period well lived and
experienced.
Why did I enjoy GHP so much? Because I let myself loose! I was myself, but at the same time I was truly a GHPer. I didn't refuse to go to the Saturday night dances, I didn't sit in my room when the she-women-man-haters-club crowded in Jakina and Megan's room to share the day's stories. I didn't limit myself or create a boundary around me. And that's why I enjoyed!
Huh.. well, High School is over! So, I guess no memories here, but I got years and years ahead of
me...!
An Announcement:
Thursday is Senior Skip Day. We are the class of '05 and the date on Thursday is 05-05-05. It's this years last, but my FIRST skip day. Didn't participate in any others, but am starting now. At least I could say, "Although I hated living in America because I felt that four years of my teenage life were wasted, I learned that surroundings have little to do with what mind is in control of." I'm beginning to live in High School itself, so I guess it didn't take me all that long. I got brains in K-12 itself :)
