Well, here's another long one. Why you ask?
Because it's over. It's all over. My highschool carrier ended tonight, not last night when I graduated, but tonight. But lets reflect some.
Last night, I graduated. Oh... My God. I finished high school and I graduated. And I didn't break down in tears like I thought I might. In fact, I didn't even feel like it. I was happy. Last night was a great night. After graduation ended, Marcie drove me home and we had some cake and ice cream and I opened graduation gifts. I got a Palm Pilot, a Cell Phone, an Autograph Book and a Teddy Bear. Along with many cards and money. And wonderful messages from dear friends. Then I dropped by Sarah Larson's house, but I didn't like that party, so Marcie and I went to Nic Ford's to a mini LAN party that was happening. We played some Starcraft, and made prank phone calls, and just enjoyed our graduation night.
Then, this morning my grandparents left town, and I ended up getting 6 hours of sleep, which was odd. I usually get either 5 or 7, but not 6, so I felt strange this morning. I walked with Alice some around the high school today, and then my bro took me to REI and we looked around there. When I got home I assembled stuff for the Drama Banquet, took a little break, and then headed out. Picked up Rachel and off we went to the Executive Inn, for my last Drama Banquet and last experience of Shorewood High Drama.
Now, Graduation, no emotion. Get through most of the ceremony with a smile on my face, or a serious look on my face. Many good Ham Awards, and many good memories. But when it came time for my senior speech. I lost it. And instead of breaking down up there, I just ended my speech and went onto my gift. And I don't feel right about that, because I know that I should have been crying as much if not more than Kat Wodke was up there. God, I haven't been like this for so long, but I am right now. I'm still near tears. I'm going to miss this, this is my family that I'm going to have to leave behind. Not only am I leaving one family behind at home, but I'm leaving my Drama family behind as well. And I guess I just realized that tonight. And......and I'm going to miss it. A lot. Even though I know that I'll see you all this summer, and that I'm coming back next year to see your shows and to visit you guys, I just know that I'm going to miss the family that we were. Thank you for all the wonderful times over the years guys. Everyone that reads this who is in Drama, thank you for everything, you have changed my life, every single one of you. I can't thank all of you enough. I hope you understand that, and I know that you will all suceed next year, and in the years to come. You are amazing people, and you will all make it far in life. I don't know what else to say....Keep up the tradition, I know you will, because I know that you want to and I can feel that you have the ability to, no matter what. Good luck, and I'll see you around.
