Assassin

We love Senior Assassin. Instead of lounging in our rooms on a Thursday night, we are running around the city, creeping into cemeteries, lurking outside of houses, and getting hit by cars. The class has become united by two objects: goggles and water guns. Despite the adrenaline rush the game elicits, the $2.76 price for premium makes everything completely rigged. If any one player has premium, and the other doesn’t, all bets are off. By being able to see every player’s location and who could be sneaking up on you, premium destroys the mystery that is Senior Assassin.

Summer

Guys, I’m ready for summer. Sunshine, sand, and swimming are all I can think about, and it’s truly time-consuming. I’ve been spacing out in class just to dream about my summer plans that I wish were tomorrow. I am imagining being able to drive (finally) to the pool with friends and being able to sleep late most days! The warm days almost seem like tests (since they only last a day or two) to see if I’m ready for summer to start, and I definitely am. Sadly, it’s not as soon as I would like, but it’s on the way!!

Grad date

I have a friend who just posted “ T-5 days until graduation” and my jaw dropped to the floor. Why does every other school in the history of schools get out before Jackson- Reed?! As a senior, we get out June 8th, which is still late in the grand scheme of things, but my heart really goes out to the rest of you. It is so ridiculous that not only do we get out in June, but at this point LATE June. I am tired, you are tired, our staff is tired. Can DCPS stop dragging us along already?
