graduation day, we take back everything we've said about you.
So basically,

I GRADUATED.

On Friday, June 16, 2006, I graduated North Warren Regional High School with honors. I've never been more proud of myself.

It didn't feel like I was graduating, though. It felt like just another practice (even though we only had one that took FOREVER). I was the second girl to graduate, and I was in the front row (naturally). It was so hot and uncomfortable at first, but as the sun went down over the bleachers, it got better. The only other time I went to get up before I got my diploma was to sing the Alma Mater with the other senior chorus members. When I went to get my diploma, I forgot to take my shades off, but that doesn't really matter because my mom wasn't going to order a picture anyway.

I had to rush home after graduation because we had to go to Project Graduation afterwords. My mom was one of the parents who helped us get set up for it. We waited until a little after 10:00 PM, and left for Spa 23. We hit traffic because they were paving the roads and stuff.

So we get there, and there's just so much to do. They had a pool, hot tub (SOOO NICE!), sauna, caricatures, super-imposed photos (I got one with Layla in front of Hollywood), volleyball, jousting, make your own music video, etc.

This guy with a camera walked around and we were all trying to hide from him, but he ended up asking us questions anyway.

There were drawings to win prizes and stuff, and I won a free car wash. I don't really have much use for it because I never wash my car or anything, but it's still nice to have.

I got a caricatures done, and I was kind of disappointed because I told him I was a cheerleader, and he wrote on the top of my picture, "Check out my pom-poms!" Gross.

The best part about the whole night was the hypnotist. It was probably the funniest thing I've ever seen in my whole entire life. He actually hypnotized some of the seniors to be extremely hot, extremely cold, pretend that the boys were in labor, could smell the most foul odor in the whole entire world, make fun of him behind his back, pretend that they were martians, suck their thumbs, etc. It was so great because a lot of my friends were up there, and when I asked them about what happened, they were like, "I did that?!" haha It was so funny. I had a blast.

We finally got home at around 5:30 AM, and I was so tired. I had to wait for my dad to finish stuff with our breakfast at the school. I kept complaining to him that I was so tired and needed to get home, so he left early.

I am certainly going to miss my class. Most of them were great people. I'm going to miss their smiling faces and the jokes that they pull, because I know that I'll never be able to see or hear some of them ever again. It's bittersweet, and I don't think it's going to hit me until I won't be going back in September. I wish all of them the best of luck. They have much to look forward to, and so do I.
