I can’t believe it’s over! It seemed like the rehearsal for graduation was longer than the actualy thing!?!

I will admit that at times during Amy, Xue, Phillip, and Ms. Broyles’ speaches I got teary-eyed. It’s so very hard to get over the fact that I’m done with high school. It’s all over. NO MORE! It just doesn’t seem real … I feel that at any moment I will wake up from my dream … and continue my daily routine of going to that same building bright and early at the crack of dawn.  6 years I followed that routine … and it’s gonna be hard to break, and I will miss people. But at the same time I am more than ready to leave. I feel like I’ve been ready for college for the past 6 months or more … and more importantly, I’m ready to be there!

I’ll miss a lot about MLK … like some of the students … a select few of the teachers … and NONE of the administrators (now that they have all changed) … but there are some people and things that I am more than ready to distance myself from. And I do realize that college life will probably be a whole lot worse in this aspect, but that doesn’t mean that I have to like it right now. I have a major issue with people getting drunk and going to parties where their only intentions are to get "crunk" or high as a kite. Too many times have people become injured in some way, or even died as a direct result of such things. Yet at the same time, I hate feeling like I just making myself the loner … being the only one who doesn’t go to these things. I don’t know … it just bothers me. And whatmore, it bothers me that some of my close friends keep pestering me to come to these "awesome crunk fests" and join in on the fun. Guy and I are the only two in our crew that opt out of the crunk-life. 

Yay for us!

 I think I’m going to get my Yearbook and Diploma on Monday … because I am most definitely sleeping in tomorrow. To all of my good friends out there that I will no longer see or talk to, just know that I will miss you all. And to the ones that were assholes to all of us for six straight years … well you know where you can go :P

My mom, dad, sister, and sister’s boyfriend (Dave) went to P. F. Changs for dinner after graduation. It was delicious! It was quite the momentous occasion for my mom and dad to both be at a dinner table together and invoking in conversation … I kind of liked it (past the awkwardness).

That’s it for now … When I get some pictures I’ll post them up, of course ;)

See you all at our reunion!!!
