First Day Back

So today was my first day back at school and it was raining like crazy!!! I walk from my car to the campus and get all freezing and wet and since it's a very outdoor campus the only shelter is near the classrooms, cafeteria, or the restrooms.- People use to use the library but it's closed in the morning and on most days due to budget cuts. The lady that opens the restrooms sometimes doesn't open the restrooms before 1st period- she didn't open them that morning. I could've gone to the cafeteria but it was literally all the way across campus and going to their and then to my 1st period class was too far of a distance and too hard to get to in this weather. So I huddled against the restroom wall on a side that was blocking the wind and rain. It sucked :(

While the 9th-11th graders were taking STAR testing prep junk, the seniors got to relax and talk in the school's theater, the cap and gown company people also came and handed out students' caps and gowns. So here's my crazy cap and gown story....
 A few months ago the cap and gown forms were given to the teachers to give to the senior students. Well my english teacher didn't give them to his students. Luckily some girls found the forms at the back of the classroom the day the forms were due. So everybody in my english class had to mail them in or order online seperately from the school. So I talked with my parents and since they didn't want to pay online my dad said he'd mail it in from his office. A few weeks later after that someone in my english class mentions the cap and gown stuff in class and says that the guys wear green. Well the way he said it made it sound like only guys wear green and girls don't. I found out later guys wear green and girls wear white. I totally panicked I thought for sure I ordered a green gown. For a long time I worried about whether or not i'd get the right gown and I even worried about whether or not the form got to the cap and gown place. Well today I got my cap, gown, and tassels and they look perfect! I am so happy and relieved !!!!!!!!!

Btw there's only 7 weeks left in school before graduation!!! I can hardly believe it.
