FINALLY, PRESENTING..

Well, it's all done. Over. Finished. I am no longer a high school student.

*BIG CHEER*

It's been almost two weeks!! Wow, I can't believe it's over already, though. In some ways, I feel old enough to be done..I feel like I matured some, and like I can handle it. In others, I still don't feel prepared..I mean, HELLOOO, in about three months, I leave for Florida, and I am so NOT prepared for that! But, anyways..we can talk about that later. Right now, I have some news.

So, do you remember when I was working on my cross-stitch? Like, constantly. -.- All the time. Nonstop? Yeah well...I FINALLY FINISHED IT!!

Technically, I would have been finished the day after state, if I had won, and gone to Nationals. I only had about two hours of work left. BUT, I was so fed up with that stupid thing, I was ready to rip every stitch out, take scissors to it,BURN it..you name it, I definitely thought about destroying it with that method. Trust me. I mean, that thing gave me enough grief that I was definitely NOT ready to pick it back up again. But, I forced myself to do it. Because, sometimes you just have to force yourself to do things you don't wanna do..

Like, sit through government class, for instance. :) Thank goodness, I never have to do that again!! That was almost as much torture as finishing my cross-stitch. And, ok, most of you will not understand what I'm saying unless you go through what I went through..almost a year of work, staying up late, pulling all-nighters, and literally making myself sick, and all I had to show for it was 2nd place at State competition. The other punch in the stomach was that, I could have totally beaten the competition at Nationals. Goodness, my cross-stitch LAST YEAR would have beaten this year's National competition! But, whatever..God has a plan, right? :)

Anyways..the point is, IT'S DONE! Finally!! And, here is a picture of the finished product:

It's not the best picture, but I'll upload another one after I get it framed. And, yes, I will be displaying it SOMEWHERE in our house..just not sure where yet. Or, I might just BURN it, like I origionally planned. ;)

But, for now, I shall just go to sleep..

GOOD NIGHT WORLD. :)
