Thanks to everyone who had a part to do with graduation, I had an awesome time, and I’m so excited about moving on in my life. Graduation itself was nice, luckily it didn’t rain, because the meterologists had said that it would thunder all throughout, but we decided that we were ok with a bit of rain, and held graduation outside.
The speeches were really nice, especially the one by our class president, who started his off as a mastercard commerical. Cap and gown: $30. Book fines: $82. Brand new school to graduate from: $295 million. Being the last class in the nation to graduate: Priceless. It made everyone smile, because it’s true, we were the last class to officially start our summer.
After graduation, when the graduates went to go get their diplomas, the guidance counsler handed me a piece of paper telling me to go to the main office, because she didn’t have my diploma. So I hiked across the school, to the front entrance, and the main office, to get a big envelope, which said that i graduated with academic honors, from the President.
Because of this, I didn’t know that everyone was looking for me, and waiting for me to come up the stairs so that I could take a picture. Luckily, I ran into Jijaji in the cafeteria, and was able to find everyone else. We took quite a few pictures, which will be up soon, and then headed back home. We then celebrated a bit, cut an ice cream cake, which was delicious (thanks mom), and I headed off to PGP, or our Post Graduation Party.
There, I had a lot of fun, I played some air hockey, got a caricature done, drove in Germany, and China as well, played pinball, got two tattoos, watched a few magic tricks, had a guy read my aura (he told me I would get married to a guy I met in my sophmore year of college, and open a meditation/yoga/healing center with him), won a pink purse, and a BIG duffel bag, and just had a really nice night with my graduating class. I actually ended up getting home at about 5 in the morning, so as I was going to sleep, the sun was rising. It was a really nice night, and a wonderful ending for a big part of my life, and a great way to greet the rest of my future.

 

Happy Birthday
We just wanted to say Happy 14th Birthday, and since you’re at camp, we hope you have a great day there, ’cause we think you’re a cool kid. :)

With Love,
