Graduation was surprisingly good for being so long. Band performance went well, considering the minimal practice time and the immense amount of shaking that my hands were doing. After the amazingness of the ceremony, I went to the field club after-party. It was mostly people that I don't hang-out with and the party made me see the reason why I stay away from them. I still had fun. Breakfast at 5am included muffins, fruit, and orange juice, pretty good food. Chase's mom picked us up at about 7am and we went back to their house. Chase and I slept until 3pm. We called Luke to see if he wanted to get lunch/dinner at Chili's. He said only if we went to the Venice one. We got there at about 5pm, ate some good food, and decided to go to Pelican Pete's for some mini-golf. Luke got two hole-in-ones and won a free game. After, we spent about fifty dollars on the arcade games inside. We all collectively ended up wining 2,060 tickets and got all this cool stuff with them. We went to Wal-Mart to get Luke some painting supplies and some body wash for me. This ended up in spending a few hours in there and the two guys buying knives for camping. After all that, we went back to Luke's house and invited over Even and his 21 year-old cousin, Matt (you can guess what he brought with him). Chase and I did not partake in the refreshments, but had a great time. I'm still pissed that I had to be home by 1am because I was having such a great time. Today was so much fun and I'm glad I got to be with my guy friends tonight. Ooo, I got my housing assignment, I will be in Holly apartments with my own room and three roommates to share a full kitchen and living room. All of the girls are from Florida, so that should be fun. This whole graduation thing has not set in yet. I still feel like I'm a PV student and I will be going back next year. I have been at that school for 11 years and this transition will be hard. I'm still excited and cannot wait to start this new part of my life.
