Senior Farewell

This year I am a junior in high school. As a class, the juniors plan prom. They also put on Senior Farewell. Senior Farewell is a final send off to the seniors from the junior class before graduation.  Senior Farewell consists of a flower part-- hold up flowers for the seniors as they walk to their seats-- a skit-- to highlight some people in the senior class-- and a candle ceremony-- the saddest part of Senior Farewell.

Well the Class of 2014 has to be the dumbest class ever. The flower part is the only thing we can get right. That's the only thing everyone is there for. Nobody wants to stay after, like, 2:30 to work on this. I have been in 4 different places for the candle ceremony because people keep leaving. The skit. Oh my God. No one shows up for that either. And if they do, they leave before we can get to their line(s). It's ridiculous. When we finally get through the whole thing, everyone's like "Can we go now?" Like their annoyed to be there. IF YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BE TEHRE, YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED UP TO DO IT.

Then, you have those people who started off as part of our class but aren't technically "juniors" because they've failed classes and stuff. Like, you shouldn't even be there. YOU ARE NOT A JUNIOR. LEAVE. WE DON'T WANT YOU HERE ANYWAYS.

Then you have those unreliable people who show up some days, and not others. We had people show up today for the first time when we've been doing this for 2 weeks. Like, leave. Get out. You don't belong here.

I can't even deal with senior farewell people anymore. OH, DID I MENTION THE ACTUAL SENIOR FAREWELL IS ON MONDAY?! Yeah, shit's gonna hit the fan then. If we don't mess up, I will be genuinely surprised.

This is supposed to be a really nice ceremony. The candle part is definitely something that is going to make me cry regardless if we mess up at all or not. The candle part is when all of the juniors outline the auditorium and each one of us is holding a candle. The lights in the auditorium are off, and when the selected song starts playing, each corner starts to light the candles. At the climax of the song we raise the candles up until a little bit before the end of the song. At the very end of the song, we all blow out the candles together. It's supposed to be really nice. This year we picked "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts as the song. If you've never heard  the song, I recommend listening to it. It'll give you goosebumps.

Well, that's about it. Wish me luck on Monday, I'll need it.
