I'm very late to make a post about
this, hell I'm quite to even talk about my life...but I no longer have to
deal with the public education system.
Technically, I graduated early. like a week early. Hey, I had extra time
off, I'm not complaining. So our town is overrun by this college, and our
public school partnered with this private college so we would graduate in
an auditorium rather than a football field. It kind of broke a long
tradition considering my mother who also went there like..30 to 40 years
ago also graduated on their football field. It was basically the same as
awards day but they made it so much more complicated.
After practice I think I went home, slept for like an hour, got up again,
and had to walk for a while, because every parking space was full. This is
where I think a football field would be a million times better. (I have
someone talking into my ear while i'm typing this so ignore my
topic-jumping and vague writing, its really pissing me off...) We all were
lining up outside because they instructed us to do that when coming into
the building, but then they made us...go in backwards?? We were all
extremely confused, but we were out there for a good 30 minutes trying to
line up. At least my line knew exactly who goes where, we all just sat
around and talked the whole time at the end while they figured out
everyone else. I don't understand it still, but they walked us in, and
then FLIPPED US BACK AROUND inside the lobby. WHAT WAS THE POINT.
But
yeah, We all walked and went through the whole ceremony. When everything
was done, i waved my cap in the air cause I wasn't going to lose it...and
then I left
...well I attempted to. I was asked where we go get our
diplomas...and i looked in my diplomas case....They legit held all of our
diplomas...and I had to ask around for directions for this conference room
cause that's apparently where we get them. We went up there and I got a
whole envelope full of things including my diploma. I looked through it,
and I got several letters from government officials, some gift cards
(presumably from my Accounting teacher...Love you Ms Hunt <3) and an
advertisement for the counselors side business....
Anyway, Yesterday we went to my grandparents' for memorial
day, and I only really want to share this much: One of my cousins came up
to me and we had an awkward conversation. She talked about how soon enough
i will figure out who i am, i will figure out what I want to do with my
life, and that if I have any questions or need anyone, to call her, and
that she's the least judgmental person in the family...and I
wholeheartedly believe that considering how she's pushed through the
family lol. Brittany, if you somehow see this in the future, thank you for
the pep talk!
