Bittersweet Commencement

I gradjee-ated! Yay! The ceremony was great, and I pulled my speech off without a hitch, so that was cool. Then we had some family over for a little party, then bed and an almost late morning. It doesn't feel any different than being in High School. It just feels like I'll go back to school next week. It doesn't even feel like summer break! Go figure. Went to the lake yesterday. Fun fun. Today was our church homecoming. The singing group that was there had a cute guy in it, 19 yrs old, and my wonderful *rolls eyes* preacher decides to ask from the stage if I had met him. By this time I had shaken his hand about three times, so he turned around and shook my had another time, then again, while I informed them that it was time number 4, then 5. Funny, but really embarrassing. Needless to say, he didn't actually speak to me about anything. What a way to ruin any chances with a guy. But if God has plans there's nothing I can do to stop them, so we'll see. He's going to college about an hour away from where I'll be. So there's always that chance... This lack of anybody real here is starting to hurt worse and worse. I feel like life is taking off and I'm stuck in last place. But I'm not even moving! I know, Porkchop's mom told me not to rush things, but can't there be somebody to make the waiting a little easier?

GOOD NEWS!!!

Sorry, but I HAVE to shout this from the rooftops! I got an interview!!! For the Smith-Hutson scholarship! At 2 pm on June 9th (yes, I know it's VBS, but I'll just leave at about 11 that day and it'll be fine)! And if I get it, I won't EVER HAVE TO PAY A DIME FOR COLLEGE!!! It's 44,000 SMACKAROOS! Whoa!!!

Ok, I'm better now. Not really, but I'm a tad bit calmer. Hope y'all's day went as good as mine! My speech (the revised and non-posted edition) was approved and is 6 minutes and 22 seconds long, but it's full of good stuff. I had a WONDERFUL last few days, and after tomorrow I'll be looking forward to VBS and my interview and the beach and sleeping late and no work and cooking and cleaning... Yay! Toodles! Love to all!

Drum roll please...

What you've all been waiting for... Pictures! Yay! Finally!

These are three of five senior pics. The rest can be seen at my photobucket acct. http://photobucket.com/albums/y59/pampam05/

College Day and Fun

I took my college day on Thursday! It was so fun! I got my schedule, and I don't have any classes before 9:30 and after 3:50 any day of the week. That's tons of free time to study and hang out and have a real life! Yay!

Monday: 9:30-10:50 – Economics, 11:00-11:50 – English, 12:00-12:50 – Integrated Science
Tuesday: 9:30-10:50 – Business Calculus, 12:30-1:50 – History
Wednesday: 9:30-10:50 – Economics, 11:00-11:50 – English, 12:00-12:50 – Integrated Science
Thursday: 9:30-10:50 – Business Calculus, 12:30-1:50 – History, 2:00-3:50 – Geology Lab
Friday: 11:00-11:50 – English, 12:00-12:50 – Integrated Science

The English is Western Lit; Integrated Science is a mixture of Chemistry, Physics, and Geology; and Business Calculus is mostly the stuff we've already studied in Calculus this year. I'm so excited!

I was never more thankful for a Wal-Mart card than Thursday. I had a half of a tank left and was really worried that I wouldn't have enough $$ to get home after driving back from H-ville. So I had just happened to pick up my card with $25 on it before I left home, and lo and behold, the Wal-Mart there had a pump! And I paid $1.879 per gallon! It was regular $1.909, a steal in itself. I was suddenly extremely glad that I would be attending school there. And Taco Bell is always awesome for lunch. Under $5! My kind of meal! I've always maintained that I would be a really cheap date since I love places like McDonalds and Burger King and enjoy hanging out and doing simple yet fun things. Cards, dominoes, swinging, singing, laughing, talking, people-watching…

Yep, I’m all about having a good time, whether it costs 50 cents or 50 dollars. But can low-maintenance girls really know that they're low maintenance? Or do only high-maintenance girls think they're low maintenance? Any answer to that particular question? Or does anybody know?

But back to my point. I had a blast on my college day, and the next day at Mountasia was awesome, too! We rode the go-karts and bumper boats, played putt-putt, and played UNLIMITED ARCADE GAMES!!! Racing cars, shooting aliens and zombies, air hockey, DDR, Star Wars racing, snowboarding, and the list goes on and on. It was very much worth missing a day of school for that! And now we only have 4 days left! Actually only 3 and ½ days since Thursday is less than half a day. Monday is a full day, Tuesday and Wednesday we get out at 1:15, and Thursday we get out at 10:00. We have practice at that time for graduation, then the actual ceremony at 8:00 on Friday. It's almost over!

Details

Okay, scholarship summary/rundown. The Lions Club awarded me $1000. The school awarded me the Golden Eagle Scholarship, which was $200. The Rotary Club awarded me $500. I was awarded the Temple-Inland Scholarship of $1000. I was awarded the Cy Alexander Memorial Scholarship for $500. And the final and most impressive scholarship was the Charles Wesley "Chuck" Fortenberry Memorial Scholarship for $740. It wasn't the amount, but rather the justification in the awarding of this scholarship. Chuck was an Army Path Finder, Ranger, Air Borne Infantryman and Lite Fighter before he was accepted into Officer's Training and Flight School. As a Warrant Officer he had been flying the AH-64 Apache helicopter for 10 years. Chuck died in combat, defending an ammunition convoy and the lives of 29 men on the ground. Chuck’s strong desire to excel, provide leadership, love for his country and courage greater than most of us have ever had, makes him our hero for this memorial scholarship. The committee decided that I exhibited the characteristics of Excellence, Leadership, Citizenship, and Courage. This made us all cry. I don't seriously think I deserve such an award, but I humbly accept it. That makes my total $3940. With tuition paid and additional scholarships from the University, I shouldn't have to pay anything the entire first year. Prayerfully, I'll receive the $44,000 scholarship from the University.

Money money money money...

Total: $3940 I think. For tonight. More from the college. We calculated it, but I don't remember the exact numbers. I'll give specifics later. I'm tired, so g'night all!

Just for Jim

Ok, here it is Jim, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Actually, it was yesterday, but that doesn't really matter, does it? Schlitterbahn was fun! I got a sunburn on my legs and arms and face, but it's not incredibly bad. There was a fight across the street over the weekend, but I wasn't here to see it. Oh well. Honors Ceremony tonight. I'll find out about scholarships and stuff, so I'll update with all that info tonight or tomorrow. Well, that concludes today's official Spatula post. Hop everybody had a good 'un! Love to all! *hugs*

King Arthur and the Witch

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure out the answer and, if after a year, he still had no answer, he would be put to death. The question?....What do women really want? Such a question would perplex even the most knowledgeable man, and to young Arthur, it seemed an impossible query. But, since it was better than death, he accepted the monarch's proposition to have an answer by year's end.

He returned to his kingdom and began to poll everyone: the princess, the priests, the wise men and even the court jester. He spoke with everyone, but no one could give him a satisfactory answer. Many people advised him to consult the old witch, for only she would have the answer. But the price would be high; as the witch was famous throughout the kingdom for the exorbitant prices she charged.

The last day of the year arrived and Arthur had no choice but to talk to the witch. She agreed to answer the question, but he would have to agree to her price first. The old witch wanted to marry Sir Lancelot, the most noble of the Knights of the Round Table and Arthur's closest friend!

Young Arthur was horrified. She was hunchbacked and hideous, had only one tooth, smelled like sewage, made obscene noises, etc. He had never encountered such a repugnant creature in all his life. He refused to force his friend to marry her and endure such a terrible burden; but Lancelot, learning of the proposal, spoke with Arthur. He said nothing was too big of a sacrifice compared to Arthur's life and the preservation of the Round Table.

Hence, a wedding was proclaimed and the witch answered Arthur's question thus: What a woman really wants, she answered....is to be in charge of her own life.

Everyone in the kingdom instantly knew that the witch had uttered a great truth and that Arthur's life would be spared. And so it was, the neighboring monarch granted Arthur his freedom and Lancelot and the witch had a wonderful wedding. The honeymoon hour approached and Lancelot, steeling himself for a horrific experience, entered the bedroom. But, what a sight awaited him. The most beautiful woman he had ever seen lay before him on the bed. The astounded Lancelot asked what had happened. The beauty replied that since he had been so kind to her when she appeared as a witch, she would henceforth, be her horrible deformed self only half the time and the beautiful maiden the other half. Which would he prefer? Beautiful during the day....or night? Lancelot pondered the predicament. During the day, a beautiful woman to show off to his friends, but at night, in the privacy of his castle, an old witch? Or, would he prefer having a hideous witch during the day, but by night, a beautiful woman for him to enjoy wondrous intimate moments? What would YOU do? What Lancelot chose is below. BUT....make YOUR choice before you scroll down below. OKAY?

Noble Lancelot said that he would allow HER to make the choice herself. Upon hearing this, she announced that she would be beautiful all the time because he had respected her enough to let her be in charge of her own life. Now....what is the moral to this story?
The moral is.....
If you don't let a woman have her own way....
Things are going to get ugly!

I got this in an email and thought it was pretty funny, but could be a rather controversial topic. Should women be allowed to "have their way" not matter what? Or are there limitations? What if a woman doesn't want to be in charge? I don't really want to spend my whole life making every decision for my family. But I do want to have a say in things. Thoughts? This is up for discussion, if rather limited to my small audience.

Results

Bubba's o-tay. He got 5 stitches in his eyebrow and an x-ray for his nose. Heh. It's not broken. He's probably really sore today, but I didn't see him this morning. He's going to have a nice black eye, too. Brandy, his gf, didn't know until she called the house. I told her what happened and she was a little concerned, but was ok with it. If you can be okay with things like that... He could've died. I don't like to think about it because it scares me. I really don't know if I could handle that. But God knows that. I guess He has some big plans for both of us. He's spared our lives many a time. The wreck in 2002, flat tires, the big truck seriously messing up, and lots of wake boarding wipe-outs... And that's just Derek. Well, we'll have to wait and see what's in store! Toodles!

Bubba's Wreck

Ok, new post, just happened, hot off the presses! Derek comes in with a shirt up against his face a few minutes ago. He orders me to silence with a look and shows me what he’s hiding. Dad was with him and has already seen it. He has a huge gash in his head, right above his eyebrow! 4-wheeler flipped going around a curve as he was trying to catch up with Dad. We have two, btw. Or we HAD two. The old one, the one that flipped, has no brakes anyway, and now has a seriously torqued front end. Dad might be able to fix it, or we may just drive it like it is… I don’t know. But he was a little bloody, to say the least. Mom and Dad took him to the hospital. They’re en route right now, and I just HAD to get this in! They’re not going to get stitches, but just glue him up. He’ll be fine. His nose was a little bloody, too, but it stopped. I think he just hit the ground a little too hard. I got a gash similar to that last year playing football. And just the other day he mentioned that he used to want a “dashing scar” on his face… Little ironies? Well, God definitely has a sense of humor! I’ll give a full report of the extent of his injuries tomorrow. Love y’all!

Jewels

It’s so amazing to go through old journals and find little jewels. My eighth grade English teacher left this comment when asked if she had a boyfriend.

“The good Lord has not seen fit to send me a “man.” Why must I be pitied? If I have a full life – a life of quality, helping others, then why pity? Pity those who do nothing, who simply exist.

I am lucky. I know my purpose in life. There are a lot of people who are older than I am and still haven’t figured out what to do with their lives.”

Mom set up two chairs in the hallway to keep the puppies off of the carpet. All of my 5’4” had to resort to an almost hurdle-like jump to get over the chairs. It was pretty funny, actually. Talk about an inconvenience. But still…

This guy I met at the mall called me. And then called again. And then again. And he’s going to email me pretty soon. I’m a little apprehensive about even beginning a friendship with him. His past is a little overwhelming. Nothing I’ve never heard, but at this point I’m not sure if it’s something I can deal with right now.

Well, I guess I'll be going. Love y'all!

Ok, most of these are not recommended for your home store, so just do this when out of town. Heath, they may not get the jokes in Korea, especially the MI song. But all of these are mostly a lot of fun. I only condone the harmless stuff and the things that don't actually cost the store $$.

Attention Wal-Mart shoppers...

Ok, I had to steal that from another blog I glanced at. I thought it was pretty funny. So, I'm sitting in Calculus. We just received an announcement that after one more lesson we're officially finished with math! Sweet! And we're basically just killing time in English, too. Don’t is still brimming with hideously boring monologues and movies of absolutely no relevance. Band is still busy, but not after next weekend and the Schlitterbahn trip. Foods will be a breeze, and one final chapter in Physics. So I'm almost done! Slowly... creeping... toward... the ... finish... line... then... only... a... speech... left... and... then... WE'RE FINISHED!!!

Mom's the Word

Happy Mother's Day! To all of the mothers, thank you for being such awesome contributions to your family and household. To all of you non-moms, be sure you call yours and let her know how much you appreciate her. For those of you who can, give her a BIG HUG! Hope y'all have a great day! Love y'all!

Man, I feel Like a Woman

I feel very feminine and attractive right now. Or, as my mother calls it, "chi-chi". I'm wearing my Homecoming dress (black with sequin/bead and fabric flowers) and my "diamond" jewelry, and I love it! Getting dressed up is wonderful! But it's a whole lot better when you have someplace to go... The Mother/Daughter banquet is tonight at church, and one of our ladies wanted to wear her dress from her cruise, so Mom asked me to really dress up so she wouldn't feel like she over-did it (or at least wasn't the only one). So, here I am! Clean, dressed up, hair done, shoes on (:P), and waiting for the meeting to get here! Fun fun! Ok, new requisite for Prince Charming. At least one "fancy" dinner or function every six months, just so I can wear stuff like this! Hehe. Toodles! Love y'all! Oh, btw, a special thanks to all my faithful readers (Heath, Porkchop, Lil Sis, Chad, Zack, Jim). Really makes my day to get comments! But we're all pretty easily amused in the stix...

Slowing Down

Well, is it just me, or is blogging seriously becoming a rather inactive thing? Nobody posts very often anymore... Ok, life update, in case anyone cares. Is it weird to have a crush on a guy, but not really have a crush? I mean, he's sweet and cute, but I know I would never, ever go out with him. In fact, there are a couple of people like that. I think I'm doomed to be a spinster. Ok, I know, seriously an exaggeration. But on to other things.

We did a "stream of consciousness" paper the other day in English (just write the first thing that pops into your head and follow each train of thought on paper, very cool, simply writing thoughts, however random). Mine was about guys. Go figure. That's why I maintain that I am a very shallow person. I think about things other than the opposite sex, I promise, but I guess that topic is my mental escape. Like reading a good book. Just getting away from the stress of daily life. This is mainly due to the fact that I know any relationship is either highly unlikely or downright impossible with anybody who flits across my mind at any point. Poop.

I'm going to Sclitterbahn next weekend. We're leaving at 4:30 AM! But it's a long drive. We'll be home Sunday evening at about 10. We're competing on Saturday and playing in the park on Sunday. Band concert Monday. Honors Ceremony the next Monday. Senior trip to Mountasia (?) the Friday after. The question mark is there because "the Mommas" (the group of black girls who are all mothers and tend to stir up trouble about the dumbest and simplest stuff) are pitching a fit to go to Astroworld, where we only go every year. It's gonna be fun wherever we go! We're missing school, getting free food, and getting $$! Quit complaining. Whatever.

I was recruited for the school yearbook. I did the varsity baseball pages, edited the JV softball page, and will probably end up doing something else by the end of the year. But it's fun, so I don't mind. I love playing on computers.

I really doubt anybody's going to read this, so I guess I'll say toodles and sign off. I finished Frankenstein and am ready for the test tomorrow. But I have a physics test, too. We only get a notecard... Bummer. Bye. Love y'all.

Clueless

Do all parents fight over stupid stuff? I mean, the littlest things set them off! It’s like they TRY to get on each other’s nerves! I mean, wow! Mom just adds fuel to the flame! She knows how he thinks. By now, I know how he thinks. Why do they insist on begin so immature and blind? And then Mom gets upset because she doesn’t feel loved! I wonder why! It’s the same concept as kicking a dog every day then wondering why he bites. It’s common sense! Maybe I’m just a young fool, but the answers seem so clear! Every problem can be avoided, less buttons pushed, less little things messed up and blamed on everyone but the true culprit… Adults. I almost wish I wasn’t one. But I have officially entered that world. I honestly hope and pray that I’m not dumb enough to fight about stupid stuff. But I know I will be. Despite the fact that I’ve never had that experience, it’s something I know will most likely happen. But I’m the freakin valedictorian, for cryin out loud! Shouldn’t I be able to figure it out? Another frustration with the adult world…

Wimmin

Wimmin are dumb! I mean, golly! I'm one, I know, but some women are just plain rock-dumb! We saw this guy lose control of his truck and go off the road. He stops in the ditch and gets out. He's perfectly alright. I stop and let him use my phone along with a couple of guys and some women in a van. The women in the van call the police! I mean, if there was more than one car involved or injuries, I can see that, but just one guy? Now he's going to get a ticket for losing control of his vehicle! Stupid! Even I know better than to call in on something like that! Good grief!!! I can't believe how stupid some people are...
