I'm doing a 365 project, where I take one photo a day for an entire year, and while I have in fact stayed true to that, I have about a week's worth of photos to upload. Things have been pretty busy with school and the 30 day dress challenge that by the time it came around to 365 photos, I didn't have any energy left. Usually I post them here, and I'm getting back in the swing of doing that.
Today's photo will be posted a little bit later. Until then, here are photos from the past week.

This day held senior chapel and the drama awards.

This was our senior prank day. I'll have a big post about this after graduation. But it was seriously the most exciting and exhausting day I've had in a long time.

Random photo of me because I didn't really feel like doing anything remotely creative.

Another random photo of my face. It's funny because when I first edited this, I really liked the crazy colors, but now I'm not quite sure I like it.

I went to my friend's wedding shower and this little boy loved munching on the candy bars ... still in their wrappers.

My dad texted me, saying that I should take this photo. He was in the room next to mine and could have easily yelled.
Whew! Finally updated. Sorry for the major photo dump. And again, tonight's photo will be up in a bit. So thank you all so much for your support, you don't even know how much it means to me. You are the best!

Can I just complain about something that I totally should not be complaining about at the moment? It's this little thing called marriage. Okay, maybe not exactly that. More like getting engaged, specifically in high school. The second person I know in my grade (little ol' senior) got engaged today. I have mixed emotions about the subject. First, there's the initial aww how cute and precious feeling because honestly, anything even remotely cute makes me go all super girly. Secondly I feel a bit skeptical, just because of how young people are. Come on, do you really know that's the person you want to spend the rest of your life with? And unless you're planning on having a four year engagement through college, how are you going to support each other? There's still so much growing up to do ... but at the same time, do we really ever stop growing? That's where the emotion of jealousy comes in. Matt and I have been dating over a year. (We want to get married but my mom says I shouldn't write stuff like that on here ... so let the record show that parentheses means I didn't really say it. ;)) My own parents dated less than that before they became engaged. While I do think it might possibly not be the best idea to get married right out of high school, when I hear that one of my peers is now engaged, well it makes me feel a little bummed that I don't get to have that now.
Eh, thus is the life of being a girl, I suppose. I am glad that Matt and I aren't doing anything crazy like that and choosing to wait it out.
Haha well this ended up being a venting post. It probably didn't really sound like I was venting, but trust me, I was. Well, now this is like the awkward silence after someone yelled or something, soooo ...
wow. I can even make my blog awkward. Well then.
My grandparents came into town for my graduation, and as my grandma would say, this is just my senioritis coming though. Perhaps that's true. I took the AP English Test today and even though it really wasn't all that bad I'm milking the "badness" for all it's worth, so I blame my strange train of thought and lack of good sentence structure on that test. But hey, only ONE DAY LEFT OF HIGH SCHOOL!!!!
Anyways, I'm doing this dress challenge to raise money for the Batonga Foundation, which helps girls in Africa receive a full education, so that they too can be excited about graduating and go on to get jobs and live better lives.

Sorry to be posting this so late, guys! (It's almost 11pm here and man am I tired). It has been such a crazy busy day. At midnight last night us seniors gathered around our school for the senior prank. If you follow me on instagram @impulsings, you've already seen some of the mayhem we caused. We got there early, parked in a big circle around the parking lot, set up tents and a campfire, hung out a little bit, and then went inside the school. We filled the entire south common area with desks from the classroom, making a maze to get to the lockers and the stairs and the coffee shop, then we covered the hallways with streamers and balloons and confetti and candy and posters saying "2012 the end is near" and whatnot. We even put cellophane over the lights and put strobe lights in the bathroom. It was amazing. Then we all slept in our cars or tents (I went with some people to grab mcdonalds and I'm pretty sure the cashier thought we were high ... which we were not. Just high on being crazy rebels. Because seriously, this is pretty much the most rebellious thing I've ever done, and it doesn't even count as rebellious because we had a teacher there with us. But whatever. It was awesome.) We did so much that the janitors couldn't do anything about it, and it was so funny watching people try to go through the maze and seeing the teachers' faces when they turned the corner in their cars and saw the giant circle blocking their parking spots! Let me tell you, it was the greatest thing ever. As soon as I get a spare moment (which probably won't be until next weekend), I'll post some photos from the event.
Also today I finished my AP English final and Matt got the department award for Drama at our school's banquet.
Needless to say it's been a busy, exhausting day, but it's been awesome.
So goodnight everyone, and remember to donate to the Batonga Foundation to help girls in Africa!
