Graduation

Graduation Day. The words that I have been longing to hear ever since freshman year. Well it finally came... and went. The family photo shoot before, after, and during the ceremony was hilarious. Somehow smiling for picture after picture gets tiring. I promised myself that no one would take a picture of me with my cap on. That thing, I kid you not, is the most haneous thing I have ever seen. Somehow I could not rock that little cardboard square. My family and friends were all there, even the ones from Oregon. While sitting at my 4 hour ceremony I decided that I am going to be conveniently sick when Kyle has his next year. My school does graduations like no other; They bring each kid on stage and the dean says a speech that the student has previously prepared. Obviously I decided that mine could not be like everyone else's, so I spiced it up a little bit. My extremely silly speech was received well by the crowd as well as my dean ( I was a little worried about my dean). I didn't trip, nothing really embarrassing happened, I remembered how to shake hands and grab my diploma at the same time, I didn't get scolded for my abnormal speech, I lucked out and got to sit next to the very comical duo Austin and Justin Black, and my parents made it through without crying too hard. I would say it was a success.
