8:58pm
I graduated from Pickens back on Friday evening~ I didn't enjoy the ceremony itself all too much TBH XD;;
I had barely eaten all day and my hat was too freakin' small for my large dome so I had to keep fidgeting with it; that AND I didn't have a tassle to wear on it because I never received one >.> booo. Since it was an evening ceremony, (beginning at 7pm) it didn't end until around 9 and I was DYYYYIIING of hunger D: so I wasn't very happy at all. Some kid sitting behind me was kind enough to give me a spare tassle that he had ;) that was so sweet of him! And after the ceremony, Steve was kind enough to take me on a special graduation dinner out to Landry's, which is this high-end seafood restaurant I'd always wanted to try *_* I had a crab leg dinner and OH MY GOODNESS. It was the best seafood dinner I ever had in my life. <3333 Thanks again, Steve!
The only people that went were my mother, my youngest niece, Steve and my bf Carrie. I got a little miffed at my sister and oldest niece, both of whom I LIVE WITH AND TOLD MULTIPLE TIMES I'D BE GRADUATING THAT EVENING AND EVEN SENT MULTIPLE TEXTS.... and they both totally blew it off. >_>; Like, my sister just decided she'd rather sleep through it, and my niece was off hanging out with her friends. Ok then. ._________- My aunt and grandmother were supposed to come, but also had important things to tend to so they couldn't make it. They do at least plan to send moneeeeey a card in the mail to congratulate me ;D that's always nice lol.
In other news, I received a lot of mail over the past couple days. My Anna House order came in, (in which I ordered three blouses and two pairs of bloomers) and they all look swell! My only complaint would be that one of my blouses, the one which I thought would fit the best, ended up having THE BUST MEASUREMENT OF A LADY WITH E CUP BREASTS. O___O It was pretty disappointing to see lol, but I think it should be easy enough to alter and take in. I'm only a C cup XD;; I don't see why they made it so huge! The bloomers are great; they hit my knees (maybe even touch down a little below them from the lace on the ends) and that's actually what I was looking for. I have two pairs of shorter bloomers but I don't like them all that much :/ they ride up and quickly become uncomfortable, so I figure longer ones will do much better. That, and I've always liked for my bloomers to gently peek out the bottoms of my skirts tbh; it's a personal preference.
My clothes for prom also came in! When I received the first package, boy was I disappointed D: The clothes all looked GORGEOUS, and I was happy about that, but they sent me the wrong tooooop DDD: Instead of sending my striped blouse, they sent me some striped bolero jacket. I e-mailed Retroscope immediately, and the owner was very kind :) she kindly explained what was going on and was very positive about getting the right order to me. It turns out, I really liked that bolero they accidentally sent me XD it was an item I had planned to buy in the future, just not what I wanted for prom. So, I agreed to keep the jacket and pay the cost of it, and she sent out the blouse with free express mail shipping the next day :'D I really appreciated that, because since I didn't have to pay any shipping or taxes it took nearly 40% off my order! I'll put up photos soon enough!
