update on the airpod situation.

no I didn't find it, but my mom gave me her Sony WH-CH510. the quality as headphones feels cheap, but the sound is just as good as an airpod, if not better. it really does get the job done.

during the night, I was on the phone with a friend of mine, and she showed me what was in her memory box. after looking around my room, I realized how cluttered my room was and decided to make my own for storage purposes.

I gotta say, after a while putting this together, I got a little nostalgic just looking at it.

I am the utmost pissed today.

I just lost my fucking airpods. I woke up doomscrolling like usual, as I got up I noticed I didn't have my airpods on me because I would usually listen to music to start the day. I've been looking for them for about 15 minutes until I tracked them. come to find out they were at the train station when I was out yesterday. I took the bus and walked all the way to the station just to not find it at all.

on the way there, I used a CD player instead to listen to music on the way there. sure I had a lot of fun using it, but damn I miss my airpods. as of right now, I might have to invest more in my cd collection to find albums I really like so I can use it more.

may is about to come to an end, and I must say it feels damn near complete.

I graduated high school, I'm planning on going to new york after, I've been hanging out with more close friends recently, I upgraded my laptop; things are pretty good right now. only thing I need is a job and a license so I can save up on college costs. thankfully I got my permit a bit ago so it doesn't expire until like, 2028. for a summer job search, it's not looking good and it's lowkey bothering me.

for smaller news, my cd collection is starting to grow!

and to think, I only had like 2 last year. I've always been invested in getting a collection of albums that I think are good enough to buy. unfortunely, I mainly get these cds from thrift stores, but I'm not complaining since they're like 2 dollars each.

grad parties are finally starting up and I already missed one yesterday because I was busy doing mine, getting a tiny bit of fomo.

when I was on call with them last night, they all kept saying they felt bad and honestly, I can't really hold grudges for that long to really care. I just wanted to get the party over with not gonna lie. I might have to miss another party anyway because I have another party to go to with my family.

in other news, I finally got a new laptop. intel core ultra 7, 36gb ram, 1tb storage. compared to my old laptop, this is like, 10 times better. thanks uncle.

watching that new michael movie made me want to learn even more about him, seems like there's a lot they missed, but every highlight felt like a entire spectacle. I watched it around 10pm in theaters with my siblings, and I was literally on the phone with a friend of mine trying to make plans on when we could watch it. ironically, when I told him I'm already gonna watch it tonight, he told me not to spoil the movie for him.

also, I finally talked to my mom a few hours ago, made some heavy negotiations. might have to do mine around june 7th, so I updated my poster that I made for it.

I just found out my mom told everybody that my grad party was next saturday. not only do I have another grad party to attend, it's also too early since we already threw a party at the house last week for my sister's wedding.

if the party is on the same week as my graduation, quite literally nobody I know can pull up because they're gonna be busy at the other grad party, and I know some of my family members are burnt out from driving back and forth from my house in last week's party, and I don't want them to just push through.

I'm trying extremely hard to keep my composure because right now I'm genuinely furious. I might need to talk with my mom later tonight when she gets home from work because I don't know why she didn't even let me have a say in this.

graduation rehearsals genuinely suck. I sit in the very front because I'm in NHS so I feel like my row is doing alright because we're the first to do it, but I guess everyone else is somehow fucking themselves up. practice was so bad, we almost had to do it another day, but all it took was a small detail of basic cues to get it passing.

took a while to get my cap and gown because everyone kept pushing and shoving to go first. all I can say is that right now, I'm dripped the fuck out.

it's kinda sad that today is also technically my very last day of being in that school for this year, but at the same time it's also irritating because of how messy the rehearsal was. I might pull up next year if there's ever a musical or play that's happening soon, but I'm pretty sure my drama teacher is gonna leave next year so it's very unlikely.

it's still not hitting me that I just finished high school.

I literally finished 4 years of hanging around with friends in class and grinding to keep my grades up to a passing score (at least to my standards, I like being a straight A student). usually I would make plans with friends because we're still in school, but now I feel like it's just gonna be distant because I'm gonna have to make way for a job or something college related.

I mean sure, I still got the whole summer ahead of me, but I don't know man. I'll try to make an effort to make plans with my friends, I still love them to death.

in other news, my sister's wedding went great. I was in a limo, we partied for a while, I almost killed the vibe with my improvised speech; it was exactly how a wedding should happen.

I noticed that I've been wearing a lot of sunglasses lately ever since I got my haircut. I already have like, 7 pairs.

I highkey got sick on sunday, but I tried to get better by the next day. I swear, I had the worst headache last night, it was terrible.

finals week has been such a pain in the ass. not because of the finals itself, but from what I gotta do outside of finals.

the big thing that everyone in my family is talking about is my sister's wedding. I spent most of my time cleaning the house and helping my sister move boxes and such. barely had any time to do schoolwork during that time and I did everything last minute.

I feel so drained because I barely had any time to relax in the past two weeks. I want to just stop and having nothing going on for a few days, but it seems like there's something new I gotta check off.

also prom was nice, got home at like 4am because I went to an after party.

and yeah, this is my haircut.

got my haircut yesterday, had to cut my afro because it was "damaged". honestly, I'm actualy content with this haircut. normally I would be sad about it, but at this point I don't really care, especially since it's gonna grow out soon.

also been trying to back up all of my senior year stories that are written on my phone into a small archive when I graduate. it's gonna be a huge pdf file of dramatic and weird shit. I'm mainly doing this because when I woke up today, I noticed my phone was acting up on the iCloud and deleted half of the stories listed. spent some time rewriting a majority of them from memory and now I have to constantly back it up.

not gonna lie, I don't even care if I do post it since I'm gonna graduate and everybody is gonna change sooner or later, and these stories show that. I'm obviously gonna write these on my journal as well, so why should they care?
