Graduation!
I am now officially a graduate from high school!
It makes me really happy, I've worked so hard through four years and after that last push with Finals, and making sure to pass Algebra, I wasn't sure I'd ever get out. But I did.
They held the ceromony out on the football field (514 graduating seniors!) and thankfully the rain cleared up long enough for us to get through graduation. It actually got quite pretty out, to tell the truth. All in all it was great. My Dad couldn't show up but Mum and my sister were there. The speeches were not too long, and aside from a beachball or two (how do they sneak those in?) all the seniors behaved. And afterward, I even got interviewed by the local TV station!
The only thing I regret is wearing such high heel's. Since they close the gate and lock you out if you don't make it by a certain time (7:00 in this case) most of us girls were stuck standing for an hour with our heel's sinking into the dirt. Ouch.
I don't regret showing up though. You only got four seconds to walk across the stage, but I earned those four seconds.
