Last day of high school
Today....was the last day...of regular classes...of high school for me. After English class, the seniors went down to the gym for graduation practice, which lasted until about 4pm. We walked around in sequence, practiced our song for the Senior Trip, and did some more clarification about what to wear, do, and where to go. During this time, my sister had been waiting out in the car for an hour...and it was raining. About the time I had finished packing my backpack and was headed out the door it turned into hail. Woot. >._.< Praise God it wasn't hard hail, that would have been really bad. Could barely hear each other in the car when talking, had to raise our voices, and waited in a parking lot on a hill the way there for the roads to get better and the hail to stop (which it did.)
I seem to be approaching this graduation thing like I do with other big happenings in my life...just a...controlled anxiousness for the event to have happened, yet a reluctance for it to be occuring. A good mix of the flurry of emotions I'm sure the girls are vocalizing, but not near as strong enough to do that. A bit sad, yes, after reminding self of the (presently mentally impossible) fact that years down the road, this will be a blur but a major event, and I'll not really remember much my class of 2005, even as tight of a class we are (20 ppl,) but I have a calmness in approaching this fact and focusing my efforts on the now as opposed to the future or past. It's very well that I do that in these situations, but I'd like it in many others too... must be more disciplined, which is much easier said than done.
On this coming Sunday, I'll be headed off with my graduating class to Washington, D.C. and The Wilds camp for about a week and a half, then come back to senior banquet, and graduation. so I'll be gone the coming two weeks....(and if you don't see me back in a month, it's entirely possible that I didn't make it back from the whitewater rafting trip; not probable in any way, but still within the realms of possibility.)
Sorry peoples, but I have to go have fun. ;-P Laters
