Someone, perhaps Hiram, said that the school spends the last few days you are there giving you free alcohal and food in the hopes that they can make you leave without really noticing what's going on, due to the many parties all around.

It was a lovely dinner, and a lovely cocktail party, and it seems most of our class is graduating, if not with our class, than in Santa Fe or next year. (Apparently even Yoni is coming back and will graduate in 2006). We sang at the end, and totally messed up "Sicut Cervus" but, as Mr. May pointed out, we had never tried before with wine. Either I sang flat, or Tracy sang sharp, I'm not sure. Also, I'm not sure I drank enough to be happy now, so I am going to wander towards the movies Brianne said they were watching in Humphrey's, with a beery type thing in a backpack.

I must say, however, that I prefer the Mayor when he is the Mayor and not when he is the First. Although I find it delightful that either the Mayor or the First has a favourite character in Little Women.

According to the hourly forecast on weather.com, the rain should stop at around 6 in the morning on Sunday.

So, the glaze firing came out (yay!) and my stuff looks all pretty, but some of it broke. It annoys me. I looked at it and was like, "well, it broke like there was too much glass, but there really oughtn't to have been too much glass, cause there are still patches with no glass, and oh, look, those are broken. But the stuff that didn't break, or at least isn't in pieces, is sitting in my room. They all look very nice, and glass rules. I have this olive-y green glass that when it's over this green glaze turns into this reddish greyish colour, it's the weirdest thing.

I have been using Neosporin and Advil and Burts' Bees chapstick (and this remarkable new method of popping bubbles before they have a chance to spread) in an attempt to fight off the fever blister that decided to pop up due to allergies and graudation stress. It has been working better than I'd've guessed would've been possible, so much so that lipstick almost hides the damn thing. I hate them. I didn't even get them in any interesting (read, kissing) way; I got them because my mom gets them, I don't remember not getting them.

The last Seminar was interesting. It wasn't phenomenal, and it wasn't terrible. It just was. It felt like another Plato Seminar, which was almost disappointing. We almost ended on a Casey saying things incoherently note (which, having been in her core group (last year) I have had quite enough of) and then someone else said something, which was nice, and then Mr. Schulman ended on a note like "and, after four years, we end on 'are books worth it' and do you guys feel like you can read Plato now better than you could?" sort of note. I wandered around and felt a bit lost, Christina gave me a taste of her very sweet white wine, and eventually I found Lindsey, who didn't want to watch Buffy tonight, so we arranged a time with Brianne for tomorrow (which is now today), and I found that Tracy and Amy were willing to go out to Harry Browne's for cocktails, and we took Katherine with us. Katherine has an amazingly high alcohal tolerance, and was complaining that she can "whiskey is like water" when she was longing for something painful, and I suggested whiskey. She was barely feeling the affects of her drinks after two grown-up martinis, and I was feeling mine about halfway through my Cosmopolitan, let alone when that was finished and I drank a sweet creamy girly drink.

There was a thunderstorm during my first Seminar. It would be a nice full circle if there were one tonight.

There will be no rain on Sunday. I will do better with Sunday than I did with Croquet, because with Croquet I realized that the Rain Date might in fact be a nice thing, what with being all stressed out due to trying to buy and make food. But I have family coming in from all over the place (well, mostly the East Coast, but my grandmother is coming in from Arizona) and it will be outside. I came out as Storm on the "Which X-Man Are You?" quiz, I can do this.

Brianne and I were just watching First Season Buffy. Ah, back before Buffy started looking as though she didn't eat, and threw up anything that she might accidentally injest, and Xander didn't look too fat, and Buffy's angst was a cute little thing on the side, and the show was, in general, really funny.

"Come swim in College Creek!" shrieked Christina just now at my door. "It's your last chance!" "My last chance to swim in dirty nasty water during a thunderstorm?" I replied. "Oh, goodie, can I, can I?" "I've swum in it many times before, and I'm still here." "Well, I'll come to your funeral when you die from swimming in the nasty water during a thunderstorm."

I wish there were a way I could watch Buffy when I'm home, so I can watch the last episode not three days later when it's downloaded from KaZaA.

It's funny. I read Fox Trot every day, and yet when I go through one of their books, there are always things I swear I've never seen before. (This is the first time I go through one of their books.)

Apparently, Swarthmore used to publish a rain location for their graduation, but one year the graduating Seniors went to the outside location anyway, and since then they do it outside rain or shine. I wonder if we could pull the same sort of thing off.
