Congratulations! :'D

I graduated in 2008. My graduation went well enough. I actually don't remember a whole lot of the ceremony itself (like the speeches and stuff) but I remember waiting to get ready for it, and talking to everyone beforehand. I hugged the guy I'd had a crush on all through high school (he was my friend, and I was like, 'Well, that's a good enough excuse to hug him, right?') and spent a lot of time trying to remember who I was supposed to be walking behind for the walk to our seats.

When I got my diploma (well, "diploma". It was actually a blank piece of paper; we got our real diplomas after the ceremony), my gown sleeve caught on the stair railing and I nearly tripped. xD

To be honest, I was pretty blah about graduation up until it was actually occurring. Then I turned into an emotional wreck because I knew a lot of people in high school that I liked, but I knew we wouldn't ever see each other again. Plus one of my best friends just up and moved to New York the day of graduation, and skipped the ceremony, so I barely even got to say good bye to her. Plus there was that whole "the rest of my life is going to be freaking hard" thing. xD
