Graduation Checklist

And just like that, you’re gone again, like the Checker Taxis idling their time away all the way to the boulevard of broken PhDs, built not to last, but to pass an undignified death, without whimper nor whine, ran into the ground and grounded down to microplastics.

No, let me try that again, you’re more like a Checker Marathon restored to look like a cab, advancing down the road to candidacy on a floaty suspension and a defenseless dissertation, you’ve been down this road before, but you’ve never been this down, before. Force majeure? No, force manured, let’s throw a fan into the shit and just quit, baby.

Graduation Checklist

I'm doing great in my college classes, but I need to get my butt in gear so I can finish high school by May. There's a lot to be done, and I keep putting it all off in favor of coursework. So for accountability, here's a first draft of my checklist: -Register and study for ACT & SAT retake (already bought my materials; pick a date that isn't in March or February) -75 hours community service a) Habitat for Humanity sign-up b) Re-engage w/ Student Ambassadors moderating/Peer Tutoring c) Speak to MaryKay about more physical therapy volunteering d) Contact animal shelter and local theater -Write down deadlines for scholarship and college application(s), financial aid(?) -Follow up with colleges (narrowed to 2 choices) about music programs/whether to transfer before or after completing AA -Choose classes for Fall 2015 and Spring 2016 semester (Marine Bio/Astronomy, Speech, what else? Transfer before electives?) -Attack extracurriculars with a vengeance -Ask dad for check for mom for half of my textbooks
