Salutations from yr salutatorian!

Will Bruce said he'd make me a shirt that said that.

Yeah, so tod. our beloved principal spoke to us about prom, commencement, senior pranks, senior exams & the like. He also announced valedictorian & salutatorian, and we voted for two other seniors to speak at graduation.

Did you know a salutatory is an opening or welcoming statement or address and a valedictory is a closing or farewell statement or address? I suppose I ought to have, thanks to Latin, but I guess I never really thought about it.

So, yeah, I get to make a speech. I was thinking along the lines of "peace out, homes." But that might not be sufficient.

I'm open to suggestions. If anyone would like to submit a speech, I will carefully peruse it & if they don't all suck, I will read the winning one & pretend it's mine. We could even pretend it's a competition. You love being competitive!

In other news, my "yes, I would like to attend yr fine institute of technology, Massachusetts" letter was mailed tod. I wanted to mail it on a significant day, because it feels important, but I couldn't think of any holidays before May 1 except this one. So I don't know what that says about my future at college.

Oh, yeah. Earth Day. April 22. OH WELL.

Peace out, homes.

Is it wrong that I'm bitter than only people in the top 10% could be picked? Wah, oh well.
