I'm Done (Not Really)

Hello hello.
I am sitting in the library right now, taking advantage of their wireless, when I should really be studying Chemistry and Spanish. Oh well, whatever, Chemistry is boring me to tears. Break time!
I have not blogged since I declared my month of hell would begin soon, and yes it has been a month of hell but it is over soon! I have five exams left, two days, ten hours of being a high-school student. Wow. Twelve years I've been here and it's over in a matter of a few hours. Not even half a day.
On to adulthood!
It feels exciting and amazing but I'm also scared. I don't know how to do taxes, I don't know how to pay off credit card bills, I didn't even realize that you had to empty a tray of crumbs from your toaster or it'll rot. What's a mortgage? How do I pay this off? How do I drive? (Actually, learn to bike first!) Should I invest in stocks? Why does the toaster even have a crumb holder? (Who thought of that?) What do I do if I get in a car crash? What if my kids rebel and hate me? How does this whole parenting thing work? How do I get good credit? Do I need life insurance?
I wish Planning 10 actually taught you shit that you'll need in real-life. All we ever did was take personality, career, and aptitude tests.
Maybe I'm just worrying too much. :/

On another note, I have accumulated a cornucopia of music (about 15+ CDs) that I am very excited to listen to once all this studying business has been over and done with! Glee!
Has any listened to the album "Dark was the Night"? If you haven't go!! It is bloody amazing. I love the Lua remix, Sleepless by the Decemberists, Cello Song by The Books ft. Jose Gonzales, and Dark was the Night by the Kronos Quartet. The whole album is really solid though. Go!!

LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL

My friends are the bestest. I love them all to death.
Today, Jyoti, Renata, Leonard, and Kevin came to my house and surprised me with a Mrs.Field's BIG COOKIE CAKE that said: "Congratulations Alison! You're going to England!" with the colors of the Union Jack on it. Spawned in the mind of Renata (I'll know you'll appreciate this shout.) Uhhhh, can you say I'm the luckiest girl in the world?
Afterward, we went to Home Depot to look for C-Clamps and to Deer Lake Park to fly kites.

Basically, Jyoti and Renata are my bestest friends and I love them. Swooooon. They make me swoon with glee!
Leonard and Kevin are awesome as well. (Thanks Kevin for the ride home!)
