I guess I should try to start this entry off in order of how this summer has panned out so far.
Well... I did it. I honestly was nervous I wouldn't for awhile but I pulled it off. I graduated. And I must say, June 1st 2008 was, so far, one of my most proudest days. Graduation rehersal somewhat made everything sink in. We sat there, no longer students, but adults. We were never silenced or threatened to be silenced, but we were expected to behave as adults. We did our final walk through Groves which brought up so many emotions, passing each inch of the school... so many memories. I remembered feeling so lucky to go to such a privilaged school. Meeting new friends, meeting my first real love, falling asleep in class, sneek out spots in the school, remembering my first tour of Groves, being a sophomore in French class with Jenny, fearing senior year. Well... I can honestly say that year was my best yet. It was filled with the greatest memories filled with accomplishment and side by side with friends. I'm happy to be able look back and remember high school in the best ways. Prom, party bus, party, not partying after homecoming, TWL day, EVERYTHING with newspaper, dodgeball, school store, skipping, going to Hellenic for lunch, meeting Carissa for lunch, Mr. Smith obsessions, and even outside of school. I had the greatest time doing stupid random shit with my best friends my last true year of being a kid. I lived it well.
Then adulthood came quick. I got my first ticket!
Went to myrtle beach which was AMAZING, got to play with baby tigers, monkeys, wolves, bearcat, owl, elephant. It was a great once in a lifetime experiece.
I helped Vyc move out of the loft. Change has always been an emotional thing for me so I was, and still am a little sad to leave the loft and greektown. There were so many amazing memories there; DEMF, Nikki's, Fishbones, Pizza Papalis, Coldstone, watching horrible Monty Python movies, seeing Dave cook, Cookie, watching a guy try to jump of a crane for four hours, watching thunderstorms from the river, chillin' at the river, getting drunk and sick, playing N64. It will always be in my memory. In a way it was like... a home away from home. I miss it so much but am happy Vyc's back home. It's gotten me a lot closer to his family and adorable little sister who I almost love just as much as I do Vyc. Moving was a BITCH and I'm proud to say I moved a '52 inch plasma TV. Luckily the roomates still keep in touch, the other day Vyc and I went to Dave's HUGE, amazing house and played some beerpong with him, his sister and Sam.
It's been a nice summer with the boy. Falling in looove and what not :]
Although it SUCKS being a love and having to work ALL the time. Because two girls are gone I have to work three weeks straight. I guess it's good, I'll make money but jeesh...
Atleast I got to have some fun with my bestie at Warped Tour. We kind of just decided abruptly "ok, let's go." and it went from there. We got autographs, pics, TWL swag, it was amazing! Besides loosing our flip flops and me laying in a random guys sweaty back... omg, it was sick but so worth it. We saw The Color Fred, AVA, Say Anything, ACM, Gym Class Heroes. Ugggh AVA was great even though Tom's mic cut out. I want to see them again soon!
School's coming. I took my enterance test and felt like a big girl doing it all by myself :] I can't wait to start, I hope I'll take it seriously, but I'm almost sure I wont get most of my classes... hmmm... oh well, I'd be down to take a year off. Although I know by doing that I'd have no motivation to go back... We'll see. For now I'm just makin' and savin' the bread from busting my ass at Hellenic. I've been seriously thinking about starting to write a book based on all the bull shit I see and go through working at a restaurant. Hey, I want to be a writer so why not start with what I know? Haha.
I forgot to mention my grad party! Guess I'm not really going in order... It rained, no, POURED in the morning. I was praying for it to stop, then my grandma put a roseary on a bush and by god, I swear it cleared up. The tables, chairs and moon bounce were an hour late which was a DISASTER but it all turned out very nicely. TONS and TONS of food, good times with friends, loved the moon bounce, nice gifts, Erica and John got my mom tostey... it was nice :]
I love writing in LJ. It reminds me of the good things throughout all stresses.
