2007

Well, as my personal final hurrah to the seniors that I know, I will write you emo poetry because I am tired and sleeping means i have to acknowledge you're gone, and I really don't want to do that right now.

Hanging in the Night Sky

I see the moon hanging high in the night
It reminds me of failure, and delight.
This field of grass I lay in has been here
for me when I have needed it most dear.
Tonight, though, no comfort here can be found
For great trouble, of which I will expound
Has come to me and my partners in crime
And now I'm choked up, at least I can rhyme.
The leaves on the trees have fallen off, this
sad cycle of life has fucked up my bliss.
As I lay here it is hard to believe
The threshold of adolescence, achieved
By those I knew most close to me this year.
Now I feel it in the air, chilling fear
Pervading deep into my bones, but no
Warmth from my memory can be found, oh!
I can't believe the time has come so soon
That we say goodbye. But, all things must bloom
And so will we in time, next year. Never
fear, for we will be rejoined forever!

The leaves fade into the ground I lay on
And I, a simple seed, know it is my
time to grow into the lofty tree from
which I too was born, and so must return.

My leaves will fade in time, but just tonight
The faded leaves leave me with dread and fright.

The pale moon hangs high in the night sky. The
leaves of grass I lay among are indeed
The last vestiges of my memory
And the only constant I can now feel.
Soon I will rise high into the night sky,
But without my past friends, I am not sure
The sky would be much worth it, after all.




Emo, yes, and also thrown together just now. It's iambic, it's emo, it's sobby and gay but hey, I guess it's how I feel. Also I usually never rhyme my iambic so you know when I do it is pretty special to me.

You are looking for und new blog post, ja?

Well I suppose since my train wreck of a week has pretty much come to a halt I can sit down and blog! Boy, it sure is nice. Basically this week has been a lot of studying, a lot of running around, and a lot of pressure.

Last Sunday was the first time that I really acknowledged the AP Euro test as being so close and when it came down to it I really felt like I didn't know a damn thing about what was on it, that day was a bad one. Monday-Wednesday was more of the same, more studying and being horrified of the behemoth test that awaited me. Thursday after school I got a really amazing gift from a really thoughtful and caring girl, and it made the whole day. I'm pretty sure the gift is the reason I didn't just break down on Thursday and in hindsight it helped cool me off very much. You know who you are!

Friday was it, though. Friday was the day of my Junior year. Everything I had been working for in terms of school related stuff had either been wrapped up or was going to be wrapped up on that day, and to be quite honest it intimdated the hell out of me. But hey, it's over now so I can't complain. Anyways, Friday! (In bullet form!) I have added times in so you can get a picture of just how much time I had to have a breather that day.

• I woke up and had a sweet steak and potatoes breakfast. (8:30)
  
• I went to play tennis, huge stress reliever (9:00)
  
• I got a haircut, per my mom's horrible judgement. (10:00)
  
• I ate Taco Bell for my pre-test lunch (11:00)
  
• I took 3 hour, 50 minute exam. I'll talk more about that in the third week of July. (started 12, ended 3:45)
  
• I got out of the exam at 3:45, and I was at Emily's house by 4:20. Not too bad, lolol. (4:20)
  
• Prom extravaganza! (Pictures, dinner, party bus, pre-prom toast, dance. AMAZING) (5:15-1:00)
  
• Then I went to Keri's for about an hour, then to Paolina's. (1:30-3:30)
• Got home at 3:45 AM, slept until about 6:45 AM
  
• Woke up and met the Tennis team at McDonald's at 7:15, played tennis at Allen Park from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM
• (It was about this time that I realized my day never ended. Friday-Saturday is more of a joint day)
• Went home, took a shower, took my tux back. I almost died about 3 times on the way home because I was driving 90% asleep -_- (4:00)
  
• Napped for 2 hours when I got home, then went out to Mother's Day dinner at Carabba's (7:45)
• Went to Jeanette's house until about 12, lolz.
  

Then I kinda slept until about an hour ago, 11 hours isn't bad but I am still pretty exhausted.

Okay so it looks like I covered Saturday as well, which is good. It will be nice to be able to sit around and just hang out instead of being on a freaking rush all the time. Thank God for that.

All in all, everything turned out well. Prom with Emily was amazing. She is a great date, I might say my best ever! No drama, no creepyness, and lots of us creeping people out. Do you get a better date? I think not. Muahahahaha. And her garter is pink. PINK. Owned.


So long and goodnight, (so long and goodniiight)

love,

Josh.
