Seniors got out early on Thursday, while the fire hydrants around the school were being flushed. In hindsight I can see that splashing around in the gush of cold water was hardly optional. Cheap Indian food and bookstore browsings followed, then Diana brought me all the way back to Apex, just in time to leave for my last Bacchanalia as an RCHS student. Topped off the evening with some Halo 2 at Trevor's new place, and I prepared for the Vergil AP test only by sleeping. The test (on Friday) was difficult but not worrisomely so.
I pass most Saturday mornings either wandering in the clearest dreams of second sleep or immersed in the book I was too tired to finish the night before. Yesterday, however, I rose early, compelled by him whose work ethic drives rather more ruthlessly than my own, to watch Cold Mountain and Glory. On the evening of that same day, I helped bake brownies at Erica's, joined some other Gentiles in pretending to be Jewish, and got my copy of the Iliad back from Erica, which absolutely made my evening. I haven't had it for eight months and it's well overdue for re-reading.
Haven't done much today besides having lunch with Michael and avoiding working on the assignment for which I watched movies on Saturday.
