Oh man...traumatic time of life.

So, I know that all times of life are a leeetle bit traumatic for me, but this graduating from St. John's thing is especially difficult. I mean, I LOVE St. John's. I am also 100% burnt out and actually wigged out a little bit at my math tutor yesterday (the penultimate day of math class after four years and I lose it?!) so in a way, I'm glad to be going.

Also, the fact that I am soooo sick of soooo many St. John's students (and these are the people I really have something in common with, right?) is worrying. Very worrying. I fear all of the people out there in the real world who I could potentially not like. There are probably MILLIONS of them. That alone is enough to overwhelm me.

On the bright side, graduation itself is going to be super-fun. I've made all the necessary preparations for my concerts on Sunday and Tuesday of next week, I scheduled a petit-concert for family members on the Friday night everyone will be here, made reservations for two nice dinners, scheduled Mandy's private tub/sauna and massage (with a "therapist" called Sundown), and am extremely excited about a new game I discovered called Koob. You will all play it. Mwah ha ha. It is a Swedish lawn game which pretty much involves (on teams if you like) throwing sticks to try to knock the other team's blocks over. It's super.

I'm also reading Barbara Kingsolver's new book, "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" which is about her family's attempt to eat only food produced within her Southern Virginia county for a year. She's a little too cute, but her writing makes otherwise for a very enjoyable book. I've started basil, sage, and tomatoes from seeds and they are all doing really well, except you're supposed to grow tomatoes under lights to keep them from getting "leggy" and breaking, which mine will probably do. Oh well. But at least the herbs are doing well. Anyway, I'll try to post more, especially about graduation. Oh, and I got an a- on my senior essay. Yay!
