Which life lesson do you wish you'd learned sooner?

In order to have an honest answer, I would have had to actually learned something from life.  The only thing I've really learned is why it's worth loving people when it hurts when they leave-they always do, or hate you later or...die.  It's wabi sabi.  You know, that Japanese philosphy?  It's all about the beauty of things imperfect (life), temporary(love) and simple(me).  Loving someone won't last forever and that's what makes that time more beautiful-because especially after death-you won't have that time again.  So it's worth the pain.  I guess I have learned one thing.

It's the end of the world.  Oh no, just the school year-even better.  Today band members had what is called podium day-basically senior goodbyes.  My band friends were all crying in fourth period.  There were year books and free time in classes wher you'd been busy in all year.  Next week in choir there will be parties (yes, plural).  People are giving stuff away like free choir shirts (I got one) and hugs and "I love you"s and simple stuff that makes us happy.  I'm in a hurry to turn in my assignments and take exams.  I think I'll be fine this summer-not seeing too many friends until next year and all.  aNd even then some people are moving and seniors are doing what they do.  Next year most of my friends will be juniors.  I like that.  I'll be in more clubs.  That's great. 

I haven't listed much in a while, so...Summer goals:

1. Go visit Aaron and Ashley.

2. Get rid of my niece.  (I meant that as a joke-she's kinda cool.  Maybe I'll miss her when I'm lonely)

3. ACT. 

4. I am looking at the Orpheum thing.  I just want to see my friends and people I don't know-I hope there won't be a lot of people from school there.  I hate seeing them somewhere else.

5. Write more interesting blogs.

6. Don't forget to blog.

7. Piano lessons.

8. Quit drum lessons.

9. Maintain a healthy weight.

10. survive without getting bored.  Perhaps keep in touch with friends.
