Reading Salvial_Ten's journal

The past few weeks have been a total and complete mess. Graduation was Friday before last (May 21). The Friday before that was prom, which was great but I'm glad I'll never go to again. Mainly because it isn't cost efficiant.

Anyway, The Sunday following prom my best friend ever got here. I had to pick her up that night after Baccalaureate (which I don't think I spelled right). We roamed around the neighboring cities for most of that week, at least when we weren't sleeping. I didn't get up before one in the afternoon at all the past two weeks. Finally, graduation day rolled around and I actually had to make an attempt at looking like a sophisticated, intellegent human being (for the most part I am one but I look like a lazy bumb most of the time).

The ceremony took a long time considering that there were only twenty six people in the class, and they mentioned over and over again how a chapter of my life is finnished and that I should persue the future in an optimistic mannor. Which, I agree with for the most part, however, I prefer a less idealistic aproach. I find that when I get too idealist about anything I either get blinded to the big picture or I make an ass out of myself.

It was great to finish however, the entire occasion was overshadowed by our remembrance of a lost and well loved classmate, we had a seat for her on stage with her picture in it and her pictures were at the very end of our class slideshow. When we walked down the main isle to the stage we all stopped and gave a white rose to the girl's mother. I'm glad we did this despite the very disheartening effect it subtly held, because it showed that our class despite the fact that we often bicker among ourselves is truely a family of its own. We honored someone that we still miss, and we cared enough to say goodbye to her. Unlike last years class whom also lost a member. Most of them didn't even go to her funeral. It saddens me.

Well, the last week has been a blast as well, my friend was still here and we continued to just roam about without any sort of purpose or direction. She's actually moving here in July, we'll be splitting an apartment with another friend of mine. Joy to us. And today, the last of the graduation celebrating came to a close. The church I attend held a luncheon for the graduated seniors. We all recieved a very nice pen set and a gift card to the mall, very useful. The pen is really nice.

So at last the chapter has closed. No more high school, and what I consider the last time I truely get to be irresponsible and mooch off my parents. When I get back from the cruise I go on June 5-12, I'll aquire a job and start saving again for moving out, and finally pay off a fee I owe the college I'm going to go to next fall.

only twenty six people

Goodness. I have somewhere between 150-300 people that are probably going to graduate with me (end of this upcoming school year, May 2k5).

I wish you luck in this "new chapter" of your life and other future endeavors. :D

I really have trouble thinking about what it'd be like to be in a class that big. Good luck with graduation next year!
