Final Four

Only four weeks remaining in my senior year. Of actual work, anyway.

Four more normal days I have to wake up and go to every class. It's all really review at this point, though (sans biology). Then one week from now, I'll have finished my Paper 1 for English, the beginning of the end of my IB exams. I'm just ready for this all to be over. Since August I've waited.

The second I came home from my month at Rochester and stepped off the plane, I was fully prepared to turn around and go right back to where I came from. But, like I said, four more weeks, with quite a bit of things in between.

One week: finish review, start English, and Ian turns 18 (and he gets his birthday surprise).
Two weeks: English exams over, couple days for extra review [at home], then History and Math Studies papers to be completed.
Three weeks: all IB exams completed except for French. And, then, IAN WILL BE HERE FOR PROM (I'm not doing so well at containing my excitement am I?)
Four weeks: IB and AP French exams will be done, and I'll have officially checked out and received my cap and gown.

After that, one or two required graduation practices, and May 31st it's really truly all over. Done. Finished. And I can get on with my life.

But life is never easy. As nearly-perfect as things have been with Ian, the distance gets to us. And combined with other stresses and pressures, we're far from a fairytale. Soon enough, though, is prom, and then not too long after that is move-in for Rochester. 21 days, and then another 102.

Of course, the currently 123 days until we get into Rochester for the next 4-5/6 years is about more than seeing Ian. I need out of here. Yes, the clear skies last few days have been beautiful. Yes, the heat hasn't been too awful. But it'll only get worse over the summer, not to mention every other part of "home" is hell. And I can't wait to start my classes where I actually get excited about learning again.

Don't really know when I'll be switching blogs officially yet. Probably somewhere around my 18th birthday. The link's up at the top with the Twitter and Tumblr and such. But, yeah.

I've never been good with goodbyes.
