And...we are done.
Today was crazy. It really didn't start to hit me until tonight, after my relatives went back to their hotel. But I did feel like crying during lunch. I've had the same close-knit group of friends since seventh grade. We've been eating together every day since middle school, and now...this is it. But! No more crying! We'll have lots of lunch dates with with sides of tennis this summer! And we are planning an extremely dorky trip to the zoo sometime soon.
On an entirely unrelated note, I can't count the number of times I've sung "Gold Digger" today, chorused by my closest friends. If there's a song that will always lift my spirits, that's it. Mostly because it is so utterly ridiculous.Graduation practice was kinda warm and it took a long time. But, lucky me -- I'm in the front row (because I'm giving a speech), a.k.a right by the doors (BREEZE!), and a.k.a a spot where I can get good pictures and stretch out my legs.And to top it off, my hair mousse was on sale today. There's nothing like saving an unexpected sixty cents. Plus I randomly had a plastic bag in my locker, which was perfect for stuffing all of my junk inside and hauling it home. I found at the bottom of that hunk of metal a bunch of plastic straws connected with seran wrap and was confused for a minute, and then remembered that it had been created for a project that a close friend and I had done in the fall for our Anatomy and Physiology class. I laughed.
And then tonight I cried.
Sigh.
College is going to be amazing. I have no doubt about that. But all of this has gone so fast. I remember that once, in third grade, I was sitting in class and all of the sudden I looked around and thought, "Wow. We're almost halfway to high school graduation." Okay, so what third grader thinks about that, right? But apparently I did. And it made me sort of sad for a few seconds, until I realized that I wasn't the only person who was going to have to leave all of this behind me someday. EVERYONE is going through the exact same thing. And it's really a comfort to know that no one is really alone here.
Tomorrow morning I'm going shopping with my aunt and my grandma, and then it's off to graduation-party-hopping.
Ahh. Fun.
If anyone from Ashwaubenon reads this, especially the (now...ex-?) seniors, I want to thank you for all the memories.
It's been fun. Long live the class of 2006.
And...we are done.
