gfranciequick rundown of daily events:
hung out with the roomates, had some fun tea, went shopping with Nick, he decided to buy some new clothes and as a geek, this is an often tedious/painful experience, so I helped him get through that one painlessly. We found some shirts for him that he normally wouldn't wear and they look good, he even was happy. Then I found a very cute silk sweater. It is multi-coloured. I want to brag, because it was originally 70 bucks and I got it for twenty. Can Miss. Gennie shop or what??? yeah I thought so.
Then we went to Craniums, one of my favorite diners. Nick and a friend are going to be designing a website for them (they have this record shop also) and the owner Leon has some definitely hip ideas.
I had an incredible tuna melt and vegetable chedder soup. I highly reccommend that. albacore tuna with tomatos, lettuce, cheese and cucumber. Too lovely for words. Then Nick and I came home to port townsend (he to visit his parents, and I to see my brother graduate)
Tom's high school graduation was sweet. He was one of the first kids to come marching down the aisle to pomp and circumstance and my mom was just so over-welmed with emotion she couldn't take photographs, she just started crying, and we were right up front on the aisle, so he stopped and gave my mom a big hug and told her he loved her. It was a genuine kodak moment that I caught on film. (I think our family needs our own commercial now) I even welled up with tears. Then we sat through the typical ceremonies. Tom and his friend charlie (they were the ASB co-presidents) did a speech, and tom received a number of awards. and then he walked across the stage to receive his diploma, and again my mom began to cry. I can understand, this is her oldest boy. It was so funny to see him up there, so tall, confident, and slightly bored by the whole affair. My mother once said, "I don't know how he turned into the golden boy, I thought for years, Tom is the one who is going to end up in the tower picking people off with a rifle, he was so peculiar." hehe such faith. Of course she always had a lot of faith in Tom, and always encouraged him. I think that helped a lot. It was just a fun family experience. Everyone was there, I took a lot of pictures and all is done.
I feel so tired.
I also feel scared about going back to school this fall. I really want to do well, and I am afraid of losing that ambition to do well, and to learn as much as possible. I just need to keep the faith in myself. *laughs* sometimes it is easier to find faith in the existance of God, then it is to find any faith in my ability to do anything. A little perverse...
that nasty demon, self-doubt, lingers like some party guest over-staying their welcome.
I feel some regret for not taking advantage of oppurtunities that fell into my hands. But I musn't dwell. I need to race as quickly as I can to catch up to things.
