So it's finally over--no more high school. I am officially a graduate of Conestoga's 50th class. Tonight was a little much but I did enjoy the numerous beachballs that were being tossed around during the ceremony, suits my class perfectly. I don't know how I feel about being done. I guess it feels good. It feels a little weird, because I think I have felt graduated for a long time, but now I really am graduated, and I probably won't see most of those people ever again. That's a good thing about most people, but I think I'm going to miss some things. I'm definitely going to miss some teachers, even the ones that I haven't seen in years, because I'm not attached to the school district anymore. I saw some of the best teachers as I was walking off the stage. There were lots of enthusiastic waves, smiles, handshakes, and hugs, which really made me feel great, because it shows that I made an impression on them. At least I've been remembered.
This past month has been amazing. I don't really know how to describe my time out west, but I loved it. I think I'll sleep outside tonight and try to catch some of the stars which don't shine so bright around here.
The trip with my dad was so cool. We got on each other's nerves a lot, but we had a great time. Zion, Lake Powell, Grad Canyon, Flagstaff, Sedona, Phoenix. Raft, Speedboat, 4wheeler, hot air balloon, biplane. Pueblos, shops, bars, restaurants, trails. We got so much done this week, all thanks to him. It was a better graduation gift than I could imagine. And he still proceeded to buy me a lot of camping gear! I love him more than I can show sometimes. Thats why this father's day present is going to be kick ass, and take lots of time.
So I quit working at Uno's. I got my a brother a job there though, and I'm glad that he's happy about it. I just have too much shit going on this weekend to worry about working there too. I'm going to be guarding at Whitemannor Country Club a bunch. Plus we're starting a swim team, so that will be extra time and planning. And then add on the extra lessons for new and developing swimmers. It should be a good summer. I'm excited to hang out with the crew again. I really miss Tim during the year. I hope Eddy will be around and that Mary can be incorporated more. The Mallorys have a warm place in my heart recently, so I'm stoked about working with them now. Lots of shore parties are in store... I love having Mondays off... calls for some mft (manditory fun time)! I also need to hang out with a bunch more people who I have had lessened contact with recently. No late work on weekends any more, so I'll be out and about! Plus I get time with my sis and bro, which should be good times... there two of the most entertaining people I know. It's funny when I'm around them, because I'm used to being part of the show, but when I'm with my family I just sit back and relax and enjoy the craziness that ensues. I already promised Tori a camping trip, she's going to love Rickett's Glenn, I hope!
So I'm finally out. No more recess jokes! Time for fun in the sun and some relaxation. I have to enjoy this time while it lasts. And remember to smile. It feels good, real good right now.
