So, today is senior skip day and it has definitely been a nice change of pace for my life. :) Last night we had a track meet...in the pouring rain and when I got home I was soaked and freezing! But afterward I went out to a friend's house for "senior campout" which wasn't really a campout because we all hung out in her garage due to the weather and then everybody went home around 1a.m. because we all so tired! ...pretty lame, i know... but I got to sleep in until 10 this morning! And the only reason I woke up is because I got a phone call...but it was amazing to finally get some sleep! Today has been pretty chill...Drew came over for a few hours and we just hung out and I went through pictures for boards at my open house and he was cool with it...thanks Drew! :)
Now, I really should be finishing my boards and cleaning the house and getting all my other stuff ready for Saturday...but instead I'm writing a blog...awesome...
Time to go be productive again!

Busy, Crazy Life of a High School Senior
Wow! Life has been BUSY! And I don't think it's going to slow down at all for at least another month...which is okay because I am usually a lot more productive when I'm busy because it forces me to manage my time well and I get a lot more done but there are definitely some days that all I want to do is relax and catch up with friends over coffee or something. But it's been a fun busy and there are so many wonderful things that are going to happen in my life in the near future that I'm excited to be preparing for it all! Here's a quick, brief look at what I've been up to...
Two weekends ago was my senior prom. I had tons of fun and really enjoyed spending the night with all of my close friends and getting dressed up. It was an absolutely stress free day for me which was really nice. I'm not the type of girl who fusses over her makeup or hair...the way I see it is it's one night and who really is going to remember what my hair looked like anyway? So, my hair took a total of 25 minutes, I did my own makeup and I called it good! I had lots of fun and I think that's the most important part!
Preparation for the open house is in full swing at the Clancy household! Dad just finished painting tonight so he is very happy to have that done and now we have moved into cleaning mode! I have also been put in charge of anything and everything picture related so I am hard at work on picture boards and a slideshow and all that fun stuff. The big day is Saturday so I'm sure things will be busy around here for everyone over the next few days!
Two weekends ago we had Gauntlet (lock-in) at church and it was AMAZING! We played laser tag at a place in Pleasant Hill which was lots of fun and I got to ride with Julia so we had some wonderful bonding time! :) Once we got back to the church from that we had some witness talks and such and it was a really good time for me to reflect on my relationship with God and what I need to work on most but at the same time we managed to have a lot of fun and hopefully all who attended enjoyed the night because I know I did!
This past weekend I went to what was possibly the last Vow of Silence show I will get to see until sometime next year if I'm lucky enough to be home on a weekend when they're playing in Ames! It was an awesome show and it was really great to see Thoughts of Crossing as well! Saturday I worked at a Junior High Boys' State Track Meet for six and a half hours which was a little bit ridiculous...especially because I got sunburnt! My nose is BLISTERING and it's quite disgusting and it's really embarrassing because I stood in the same spot all afternoon while I was working high jump so only half of my face got burnt and then since I was holding a clipboard, only half of my hands got burnt...and did I mention that I was wearing a WINTER COAT the whole day?! Yeah...pretty awesome if I must say so myself. Saturday was the Relay for Life which was good. It is always a fun event and it's really touching to see how many people have been affected by cancer and how terrible of a disease it is. But we are doing all we can to fight back and hopefully one day we will live in a world that doesn't have to face the horrors of cancer.
Looking to the future...the next few weeks are going to be just as jampacked as the last few weeks have been. This week on Wednesday we have senior skip day (which I will probably spend at home working on things for the open house...cool, right?!) and then we also have Baccalaureate on Wednesday night which should be a nice, relaxing change of pace. Next weekend, I only have a million open houses to go to including my own so that will keep me busy and I will most likely gain at least ten pounds over the course of the weekend but that's what is supposed to happen... :) Next week is awards night on Monday and academic excellence awards on Wednesday. Our last day of school is next Thursday and commencement is on Sunday the 24th!! I'm so excited but defintely wouldn't say I'm necessarily ready for graduation...I still have yet to write my speech. :/ So any pointers on that would be greatly appreciated!!
I think that's about it from me for now...hope you didn't die of boredom during this post! I'll try to make the next one more exciting! :)
