Hooray! It's basically perfect that you are coming in on Thursday, because Friday is senior skip day. So we can hang out all night.
Yeah, it's a really good feeling to be done with my last AP test, and essentially done with my last AP class. We watched the Office in class today, and we are doing the same tomorrow. So I'm pretty sure we're done doing anything especially productive. Which means that I only have my mainstream classes left, and those are obviously not much of a challenge. On that note, I have eight days of school left. Only eight days until I get to say goodbye to hell. I am so excited. It's insane. By the way, do you want to come to my graduation ceremony? You certainly don't have to, but let me know if you want to because then I can save you a ticket.
In other news, we're working on another play. Did I tell you about that? You'll be around for the performances, so you should come. Support our independent theatrical production. :)
Anyway, did I mention that I'm excited to see you? :) Max is excited, too. He knows. I told him. And he told me to tell you that he can't wait to see you. I suppose, though. I should get going. I'll talk to you later.

Wow Mac, way to go with the a.p. business. Must feel good to have one of those behind you. I'm glad the kittens are adorable. I can't wait to see them. I should be home late next thursday night. Jesse and I are driving. So we're leaving in the morning on Wednesday the 21st and its a 20 hr drive, but we're gonna sleep at a hotel in between. So I expect we'll be rolling in between 8 and 11pm. It's gonna be great!
Hope you have a great week at school. Wow, and then you only have like a week and a half left! That's crazy. No more BHS! in just two weeks. That's gotta feel pretty good! Good luck with the rest of your finals.
Love ya,
Shayla

I like the idea of one big super-party rather than two separate ones. I prefer integration of the Weigel and Paradeis clans. And plus, I would rather not be paraded around twice this summer. I am sure that one day of being interrogated and congratulated will be enough.
Shayla, I can't wait for you to be home! And the kittens are absolutely adorable, you will love them. What time are you getting in? And where?
In other news, I took my AP Lang test this morning. I never knew I had it in me to write two four page essays and a three page essay in two hours, but I did it. For the first time in my life, I feel much more confident about the essays than I do about the multiple choice, which is nuts. I mean, sure, I'm a good writer. But writing an essay in such a short span of time usually does not go over so well. On our practice AP tests, my multiple choice scores have been consistently excellent, and my essays have been competent but not extraordinary. But I feel really good about the essays, which is especially weird considering that on the rhetorical analysis essay, I didn't really know what I was talking about. It was funny, I understood the passage perfectly. It was an essay regarding the true nature of scientific research, which all made perfect sense to me. But as far as my rhetorical analysis goes, for quite some time I wasn't even sure what point I was trying to make. Good news is that I think I still managed to make it. The synthesis essay was in regards to the merits of the penny and whether or not it is a necessary form of currency or if it is worthless. That one I felt really good about, which is also unusual. The synthesis is almost always my worst essay. And the argumentative essay was about whether or not corporate advertising in schools is necessary. So that was a fairly accessible topic. Not the best, but not bad.
So yeah, that's way more information regarding my AP test than either of you could ever need, but it's basically all I have to say. After the test I went to the E and got lunch before I went back to school for fifth hour, and all we did in that class was watch a movie. And my last hour of the day is AP Lang, and we had the time to do whatever we wanted. We definitely deserved it. And what do twenty high-flying students do when given free time? Homework, you say? More like play twenty questions and laugh so hard that Hewitt told us we could have fun, but we couldn't act like a circus. It was fun. One of the laziest days of the year as far as class goes, but since I only went to two classes, I guess that's to be expected.
So tonight I am continuing my period of relaxation and taking it easy. I am determined to not do anything that requires careful thought because to be honest, my mind has been floating around in a happy place since the test finished. And I honestly don't think I could bring it back or make it focus, even if for some strange reason, I wanted to. But I don't, so I'm enjoying my absence of responsibility and thought for tonight. Tomorrow it's back to work with me.
At any rate, happy almost end of the school year!

Awesome Mom, thanks for letting me know that my check came. It's like 1060 or something isn't it? Good luck with writing up all the invites. I can't wait for the party!
And I can't wait to see the kitties.
I think it would be awesome if Dad's side of the family came over again. That was nice last time I thought. Not that two parties wouldn't be cool.
See you guys in 9 days!

Shay, just wanted you to know that your federal check arrived today. I will get it into your account asap. Mac and I are in the process of getting graduation party invites written out. I am missing so many addresses! But I am working on finding them. I think those who visit the Weigel blog will be invited online in lieu of via snail mail, as we are a little short on invitations.
The kittens are awesome. They will be at the perfect age when you get here.
Mac, you want to see if your dad wants to have a party for you, or if we should invite the Paradeises to our party here? I could give him a call too if you don't want to.
We are almost done with school. Yeehah! Isn't it exciting?

graudation!!!
Yeah, I'm pretty damn excited for you. I can't really imagine a better thing to ever happen to me then being done with BHS! That was a good good day. I'm so excited for your grad party. I'm just glad that I get to be there. Mine was really nice. Send out invites to everyone you can remember liking you. And then you'll be like yeah I'll probably get like most of the Weigels and a few friends, and people will show up that you haven't seen in forever and surprise the hell out of you. It feels awesome. Also, I would suggest inviting all of the Paradeis's instead of having dad throw a seperate party. It's always nice to see the Weigels' and Paradeis's reuniting. I think they all really miss mom.
Hope the weather is good! This must mean that Logan is graduating too this year huh? Wonder when that will happen.
What are you up to this summer? Anything cool? I'm glad that you read the hunt sisters book. It's a good one isn't it. Hang in there for the busy days, it can't be too hard when you know the end is very near. Man that's a great feeling. It's like the ultimate spring of your life.
It's totally cool that you all hung out last night. I'm jealous.
Well, I'm out of things to say for now. But that never lasts long. So I'll talk to ya'll later.
Love ya,
shayla

Ello, Lovelies...
We did set a date for my grad party. I mentioned it on the Weigel Blog, but it's going to be Saturday, June 7th. So you can come. Hooray!
I really liked the Hunt Sisters book, but unfortunately that is the only one of your books that I've gotten to so far. When I have more time, I will try to get to the other ones. But that might be a while.
I'm super excited for to be home, though. I'm also really excited about graduating. Time can never go fast enough, can it?
Let's see, what else is new? Not a whole lot, I guess. The spring show went really well, all things considered. I'm excited to jump into my next theatrical project. Things are hectic now but they'll be wrapping up soon enough. I don't know what else to say.
Life is good. Crazy, busy, hectic... but good.

slowly but surely
Ok mom, you're not a dead beat. Just Mitch and Brea. I really have to get Brea a Birthday gift, I'll probably do that today or tomorrow.
How are the kittens? I hope your taking pictures. I'm trying to come home on the 21st just so that I can have an extra week to hang out with the kitties. But I'm torn because Brea's going to be in D.C. a week later, so if I stick it out for another week I would get to see her there. But I don't know about that, I just can't wait to get out of here.
What did you think of the books Mac? And have you finished any mom?
I really can't wait to be home again, especially since when I come it will be summer time! Which is awesome. Then we all can do yoga in the front yard. And what are we doing for Mac's grad party? Spose we should get going with the planing. I think you should have it in the beginning of summer. Then I can come. :)
Well, Hope to hear from you all soon.
Love you all,
Shayla
