sorcyress | Slacking in school, as per usual

Uhm. Yeah. Happy belated mothers day to

fishgreenlittle, who I haven't been talking to long enough to remember she's a mommy!

Anywho. Senioritis has hit me pretty badly, but most of my classes don't actually have any work to do anyways. We're reading a story in German class that is progressing at about a snails pace --mainly because a lot of the kids in my german class are morons.

I've got a whole bunch of shtuff to do. I'm thinking of starting up with a set of 43 folders, mostly because it's a cool idea. 43 folders is basically a set up for getting stuff done, you get 12 hanging folders (one for each month) and put 31 manilla folders (one for each day) in the first one. Then, as each day goes by, you put the manilla folder into the next months folder. Toss stuff that needs to get done on that day into that days folder, as well as other shtuff --if you have tickets to a play on the 21st, you dump them in that days folder ferinstance.

It's also slightly boggling to realize that my little orange indexcard book, which I love above all others (well, a lot of other notebooks at least) is essentially just an extrememly high class HPDA. I should post piccies.

Uhm. Yeah. If you're Tho, you probably went all bouncy-squee at those last two paragraphs. If you're anyone else, you probably just ignored it. That's about the right thing to do.

Otherstuff...Oh! I gave blood on Saturday, and unlike my last bloodgiving expiriment, where I fainted a lot at the end and took forever to recover, this one went by really fabulously. I pretty much just skipped the entire "gonna be fainting now oh hi floor" part and went straight into "Yay, the world is awesome WHEEE!" part. So that was pretty good.

And of course, I got green tape, because that is the awesomest colour. Yay me!

Mum's back from her cruising around the south pacific. I'm sure better accounts of that will show up in her journal shortly.

Only nine days left in school, and two of them don't even have any class. I'm somewhat psyched about this.

I am decidedly un-psyched about graduation though, mostly because of the stupid ass-requierments they have for walking across the stage as a girl.

I have to wear a skirt.
I can't wear sneakers.
I have to wear white or other light pastel colour.

I
Am
going
To
STAB
Something.

Ew. Ew, ew, ew, ew, ew. This is especially a problem as I don't own a white skirt or dress (And REALLY don't intend to) and I don't own white shoes, nor do I ESPECIALLY intend not to wear white shoes that aren't sneakers.

(I also apparently have to wear hose, but I dismissed that without even thinking, since I will skip walking the stage entierly before I put on hose. Or shave my legs. If they don't like it, they can suck my big fat nonexistent dick. It costs a WHOLE lot more then a diploma to make me wear pantyhose.)

Soyeah. I'm thinking I'm going to be hitting up the local thrift store a bunch, nevermind that I'm broke out of my mind (I owe mom HOW much?), looking desperately for something I can wear. I may also see if the tears matched with "I'm broke!" works on our sponsers for getting me out of the shoe problem.

(And may I note that my mother does not own any of this shit either, and it's rediculous to try and find something that I'll just hand down to Aly since she's half a foot taller then me.)

Again, I'm pissed. If I didn't care about walking across stage, this wouldn't be a problem. But I really do. So I have to find this white nonsense.

And a very large part of me wants to wear the shitty white, then pull off my robe and roll in the grass the second I'm free. Mmmmm,green. Green is a nice colour.

Yeah, bell's gonna ring soon, so I better go. I'll rant more later.

MOOP!

PS: If you desperately want a proper graduation announcement from me, and suspect you are not on my list, drop a comment to that extent.

Unless you are wearing white robes, come dressed in whatever you want with your grad robe over it. What are they going to do? Lift it up and check?

Actually, depending on the school's strictness, they might...

Bright and/or dark colors WILL show under a white robe, and that does look bad. For my HS graduation (where I HAD to wear a white robe... grrrr) I just wore the shortest most inappropriate little barely-covering-my-butt "babydoll" dress that I owned. (Of course, I actually like wearing tights, stockings, pantyhose or whatever you call them so that didn't bother me at all.)

This was partially because I knew wearing it to school would have gotten me sent home to change into something "more appropriate" on any other day. It was also the only outfit I owned that was light enough to not show through the uber-cheap almost see-through robes the school forced us to shell out $40 for...

For college, I wore ripped jeans and my favorite purple shirt under my grad robes out of spite because they screwed me out of being able to give a speech. (Yes, I'm still bitter about that) I was wearing a black robe anyway, so they couldn't tell. I practically RAN across the stage. Couldn't get out of there fast enough... But one picture, you can see the jeans and sneakers under the robe...

I feel it is an accurate reflection of how I felt about my college by the time I graduated.

But enough about me.

In life, sometimes you'll have to suck it up and deal with dressing "like a girl". They want you to dress like a "respectable" adult, and it's their dog-and-pony show, so you have to. I agree with the suggestion of a light-colored "professional" pants-suit. Just get a pair of knee-high hose, and pretend they're REALLY thin socks. It's not a skirt, but also not disrespectful of the "adult" atmosphere they're trying to convey the way a white leather micro-miniskirt would be... ;-)

If all else fails, go get a swishy white dress you can dye another color later. (Cotton takes dye best.) And wear a pair of light-colored hose with white or tan fishnets over them. Fishnets make everything better. *nods*

It's just one day, and you can change into something "normal" as soon as the ceremony's over and you have the diploma in-hand.

If all else fails, go get a swishy white dress you can dye another color later.

That is far and away the best suggestion I've seen thus far. And unfortunately, I also belong to a school which forces the girls to wear hella-light, short, thin white graduation robes that cost a stupid amount of money. And, judgeing by the fact that my "little" sister is so much taller then me, we won't even be able to hand them down.

This doubly sucks because the boys get to wear *purple*. Bright. Frigging. Purple. Totally awesome colour.

And I'm stuck in translucent white. Further support for the theory that our principal's a perv. :p

PostScript: I do totally like tights, I just can't stand hosery. I just think that, amoung other things, it looks bad. But, because when I clothes-shop I go for practical first, fun second, I don't own any white tights. Because white sucks for clothing.

my vote is for tie-dye!! (big surprise there.)

i also strongly recommend doing the Carrie Thing. (i know i know, that was the prom & not graduation, but all the same people will be there!)(and i do realize the minor detail to that idea is suddenly finding oneself with telekinetic powers, but still!)

. o O (no tenny shoes.. what were those people thinking??

My school makes you unzip (your robe). They're freaking Nazis.

*jawdrops!* You are *kidding* me! That's horrid!

~Sor

If I went to your school I SO would have worn a flesh-colored unitard that made me look nekkid.

The I would have gone around flashing people.

Man I wish I'd had this self-esteem when I was 17...
