This entry will hopefully be a work in progress for a little while.

So we got a call Sunday morning at 7 AM that went something like this:
Will: "You know those calls that you don't want to get at 7 AM? This is one of them."
Mom: "Are you in prison?"
Will: "No."
Mom: "Are you in the hospital?"
Will: "Yes."

Apparently what happened was Will left a party at about 3 AM and got a ride on his friend's scooter. Their weight got off balance and the scooter hit a curb, causing the back wheel to come out from under them and launching Will off the scooter. I'm pretty sure, judging by the contusions on his face, that he hit the corner of the curb with his face. He missed his left eye by about 1/2 inch. So a neighbor (so says Will) called the ambulance and they took him to Shands. He got a few stitches in his face under his eye, they told him he "took a divit out of his face." He has some lasserations on his arm, and his chest, and his foot, but mostly just road burn, other than his face. He has to wear a neck brace for a few days, and he got all the hospital info on head trauma. He was still lucky though, could have been a lot worse.

So me and my mom left Sunday afternoon for Gainesville, and we got in around 9. We picked up Will from his dorm and took him to the hotel. Who knew that the top 2 floors of Reitz were a hotel? Monday we hung out a little bit, chauffered Will around to get some stuff that he needed, and chilled back at the hotel. Will slept at the hotel that night. Today we woke up and left about 6 AM, drove straight through to school, where I went right to chemistry class to take the quiz. I was late. Very. But Mr. Dalsass didn't even ask questions. He just gave me the quiz. Very understanding of him. I explained afterwards where I had been. All the teachers that I talked to seemed genuinely concerned. That was nice of them. Sometimes teachers really do care. Sometimes.

Tonight was Senior Celebration. It was not as celebration-y as I was hoping, but that was probably because of me. It had its moments. The video was awesome. The collage is nice. And the gift was genius. I'm glad jonide was in charge, she did a good job. There was a bit of trouble at first with finding my dress, then getting ready in time, then finding parking, then finding seats, but it all worked out kinda. The dance was weird. I spent a good amount of time having an unpleasant conversation that I didn't want to have with a close friend. I think that's contributing most to my mood right now. It's been a tough day. I got lots of good pictures though. Yay pictures. The very last part was the best part of the whole night. They played "Good Riddance" by Green Day and everyone who was there got in a big circle around the dance floor and we kinda swayed back and forth and sang. It was just like in a movie.

I know I'll miss everybody when we're at college, but it's hard to miss them when we're all right here.

Needless to say, I have an ungodly amount of work to do now. This week was supposed to be awesome. I'm not really that excited for prom anymore. I really just feel like the life has been sucked out of me. Maybe it's just been a really long day. I've been going for almost 20 hours now. Gainesville-school-band-home-senior celebration can be a bit draining, apparently. I swear today was three days. I dont remember being at school. And it feels like I was in Gainesville yesterday rather than today. Blegh, making up all of this work is not going to be fun...

I just have a lot of ducks that I need to place in a row. Then I'll be good. One month till graduation.

Never look back.
