Well, I've graduated. One Act Play ended up going great, since we advanced to area, and I'm finally free from the Valley.

I also would like to tell my reader that I've moved my blog some time ago to zachpeterson.net, and I won't be making many new posts here. Probably none. So, with that said, I'll see you at the new site.

I'm not watching the Super Bowl today, mostly because I don't give a rat's ass, and also for the reason that I have better stuff to do.

Another essay is in the can today. Hopefully my linux OpenOffice doesn't fuck up the formatting like it did last time I tried it. However, that was whenever I used the utterly craptastic Suse Linux 9. I could poop a better distro than that.

Anyway, not much happened this past week, so I really don't have much to say, other than the fact that at my new job I got paid 72 bucks for working six hours this week. Not to shabby for a high school senior who only has to pay for his gas in his not-so-efficient pickup.

Speaking of a pickup, I want to get rid of it. My parents are looking for me a smaller car to drive when I go to college, and I'll probably get it for graduation. A good present, if I do say so myself. I've been scouring craigslist myself, looking for that special deal, yet to find it.

Guess I'll go looking now...

Got the old job back last week, and I start this Tuesday. It's gonna be nice to get back to the place I enjoyed so much a year ago, and it's still hard to believe its been a year.

I'm at a Panera Bread right now, getting ready to go and visit my grandma. Hopefully she's in a good mood.

I watched some of my best friends graduate yesterday, and it was a brief, touching ceremony. It pretty much had to be brief, since the average class size in the Valley is about 45 to 50. This one was even smaller, though, with 35.

It's now just starting to sink into me that two of my favorite teachers are leaving. Mrs. C, who helped me so much with my UIL competitions and at generally being a better person, is retiring after working tirelessly for over 30 years, even during a bout with breast cancer. And Mrs. K, the history teacher that helped me focus more on my future, is leaving for her own brighter future as principal of Paducah ISD near Childress. I'll miss both of them equally, since both of them have made a gigantic impact on my life. I don't know where I would be without them.

There is also a person leaving that is a blessing. Mrs. McC, our counselor, is retiring after only one year of uselessness, incompetence, and one of the most annoying voices on the face of this earth. Fran Drescher ain't got crap on this woman. Good riddance, I say.

Not sure what I'm going to do this Memorial Day, besides hating Bush and questioning the electoral college voting system. Perhaps eat a steak, if I can afford it; Or drive...well...eat a steak. Yeah.

I've just got hooked on Al Gore's Current network. I've watched it on and off a few times, but now I've really started to get into the format. Al Gore's still trendy...he did invent the internets and all.
