Alright. Apparently crossing my fingers really didn't help. I did manage to play several hands of spades though. Why did we have to read everyone's name? Was there a practical application to that action? Anyways, in case you haven't noticed this is yesterday's overdue blog. I got kinda busy and naver managed to get to a computer. So, after Grad practice I went with D'Oraz to turn his AP Calc practice book into Bolt and on the way back got accosted by both Duncan and Burke for still being at school (wow, I never realized it was such a crime to hang around), so I lied that I was on my way home and went over to the Orchestra room where I played random music with Keith and Fu until it was time for rehearsal. So, I went to the Band room, got my copy of the slide show from the concert (which I have not yet had time to look at), said my final orchestra good byes to all the people I'm really going to miss: Louise, Christine, Christina, Christine, Yichen, Sonica, and played my way through a quarter of a hour of Pomp and Circumstance. ((Damn, time for photos, I'll have to finish this...crap...looks like tomorrow cause I think photos will lead into dinner into Project Graduation...okay, until I return this'll have to be unfinished. So much to say, so little time today)). Yay! Another few moments of spare time! Okay. So after Orch finished for the Seniors (cause we didn't have to play the Rondeau (The Masterpiece Theater Song)) I talked with John fora bit and decided that invading his house sounded like a good way to spend the rest of my day. So I called home and David reminded me that I needed to get an application for him and I remembered that I needed to pickup my paycheck. So, I went over to the UPS Store and found Joe packing 3 printers, 2 computers (sans monitors), a scanner, and a few other miscellaneous electronic components. I proptly joined in (I'd say I rolled up my sleeves, but wearing my Black Fila T-Shirt I didn't have long enouh sleeves to roll at all) and after a good half an hour of work managed to get out of the store (and net an hour worth of pay). I got out to my car to find it claiming 2 missed calls so I checked it out and discovered that my mother wanted me to drop the graduation tickets at home so she could take them to my grandparents so they wouldn't have to rally to my house. So, I detoured from my intended path and took a turn into my neighborhood, immediately getting caught behind the Elementary School Bus. Which sucked because we have lots of little kids and it was the last day of school so the air was filled with pre-adolescent attempts at singing songs no one knew the lyrics to and the bus's ponderous pace was slowed by all the parents and children saying goodbye to the driver. So, after traveling 80 ft in the course of 5 minutes, I handed the tickets to my mother and turned around and headed for John's. I gave him a call to warn him I was on my way and began to regret not going home to change out of a black shirt and jeans. I got to Compton's and we started hurling his Aerobie back and forth (that's the hollow frisbee thing, if you didn't know). Then, after Royal's older sister arrived to see Katie Compton (John's elder sister who is also back from college), John and I went inside and watched some Black Adder (British Comedy is rather predictable these days). After about 4 episodes of that Compton and I beat Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance and then I went home, had some dinner, and went out to escape the incoming of David's friends.
