Graduation

[rainbwfairie]

Graduation was good. The ceremony was 2 hrs. long. I was about the 8th person or so called up to get my diploma, so I had to sit and wait for the longest time. I wasn't sure if I was going to make it across without crying. My eyes were watering up, and I wanted my blurb to be over. Jim read my blurb, which I wanted him to. I know that Carbery wanted to read my blurb, too, but I am still upset with her. That school screwed me up bad, and really the only good thing there is Jim. After he read my blurb he gave me a long, tight hug. I couldn't have made it through this year without him. Then as I went to hug Carbery she knocked my cap off my head. i then had to shake Mr. McDowell's hand and Stephens' hand. I swear that some day the Rivers School will become the McDowell School, as the library, athletic center, and hockey rink are all named after him and his family. I was crying when I sat back down. Luckily, Mrs. Chace had given me a tissue before the ceremony started, so I had that. She is a sweet lady, her daughter is another story. Afterwards, Jim brought me up to his office, and he gave me a single red rose. It's sitting on my desk next to me as I type. When it dies I am going to hang it, so it can dry out, and I will put it in one of those 3D frames. He has been my lifeline. As far as I could see, I was the only one who had gotten a flower from him, so that was really nice, and I am grateful of that. I cried myself to sleep the past couple of nights, because I am afraid to leave Jim. I will seriously be calling and e-mailing him everyday. Today is my last day of graduation parties, unless Dan decides to have one. I am really only looking forward to Sam's, but I am going Finkel's and Molly's also. I may hit up my pool in Weston this afternoon, but I am not sure right now.



My cap kept falling off my head, but here I am walking in at graduation.
