All I want to do is buy a yearbook. I wasnt going to get one this year since I didnt see any of my friends from Shen because of New Visions. And what on earth would they say if I did get one? We had some great times this yearJK! I never saw you!

But when somebody pointed out that there was a picture of me holding an apple and looking like a praying mantas on the front cover, I gave in.Yet buying a yearbook here at Shen has been the most complicated process I have ever encountered. The first day I tried I had a check written for 5 dollars less than the actual price. When I tried to hand them the check AND 5 dollars, the girl told me that they only

Definitely not what my senior year felt like…

took check or money order.

Oh. Ill just come back tomorrow then, I told her and then giggled? I wasperplexed even a little embarrassed, but whatever.

Then I went back today and gave them the check for the right amount. The girl goes, We cant take checks. Only cash or money order. At least this girl was nice.

Well yesterday some girl told me the opposite, I replied. Then nice girl and the teacher standing there gave me a string of apologies. There was nothing they could do and that the girl yesterday shouldnt have said that. I walked away aggravated. Dear Shenendehowa, I just want my yearbook. I also feel like I should get one for free because of what happened on the bus back in September. Just I thought

Maybe Im destined not to buy a yearbook. Honestly I have no memories of Shen during my senior year since I wasnt here to enjoy it. I was too busy working on my journalism career. Someone even asked me if I had moved or something. Isnt that lovely?

Its weird thinking back on ones final year in high school and realizing that you didnt go to any of the games, the parties, things like Irish Fest, or other big events that make senior year great. Its awkward just sitting around at a lunch table with kids youve known in middle school and finding that its juststrange. I didnt see these people for a whole year. I dont even know whats going on in their lives anymore except if they post it on Facebook. Its kind of sad to look through Facebook albums dubbed Senior Year and realizing that youre not in any of the pictures.

Dont get my wrong. I am so glad I got to participate in New Visions! I loved everything that it taught me, but I cant help wondering if I would have had a better senior year without it. I guess I really wont ever know.
