Well, I am officially not in High School anymore. We had our graduation ceremony yesterday.
It feels rather odd finally being done with high school. In some ways it feels like a new life is beginning, I mean I have a whole summer to look forward to before I leave for school, I have a job that I enjoy finally, and I am suprised as hell that I actually graduated.
In my 11th Grade year I managed to fail Health class because I absolutely cannot stand doing stupid projects, and that happened to be all the Health grade was based on. I decided to wait until 4th Quarter of Senior year to re take it at Night school. Well end of 3rd quarter, I managed to fail english 12A. This is fucking great, 2 classes that happen to be on the same day and in overlapping schedules. Both of the classes were Tues/Thurs. One was 3:30-5:30 and the other one was 4-5:30. I went in and talked to both of the Night school teachers and they agreed that I could attend one class and when I finished that one I could do the other one. So I went to English and managed to get done in 4 class periods. Awesome. I went from being totally depressed thinking I wasnt going to graduate to being happy as hell. So within another 2 weeks Health was done. Woohoo, finally on track to graduate.
Now that its over it seems almost like a dream, and that next year I will go back to High School and see all the people I grew up knowing and talking to. Reality has yet to kick in that it is time for me to go my own way. It is kind of sad when I think about it. All the hot chicks, cool kids, and teachers that I will not see anymore.
Fast-Forward to tonight, I could ALREADY see that a lot of the groups werent as much groups anymore, and everything was more open. I was talking to people that I wouldnt have even taken a glance at in the Hallway. Its odd how true it is when people say that everything changes after High School. It hasnt even been 12 hours since I graduated and I already see major differences. Suddenly nothing is as big of a deal as it used to be, which kind of sucks in a way. PlymouthPSI's car just totally fucked him over, and is going to cost another 300 dollars or so to get running again, and then the labor, and I'm going to help him, but getting it running isnt as big of a deal, or a RUSH as it was before.
I feel bad for the people that don't know what they are going to be doing after this day. I am VERY happy that I have everything set up, including housing, who im staying with, ect... I cannot imagine how much more stressful life must be for some of the people that still havent decided.
With all that random babbling on (its almost 7am and I havent slept in over 24 hours) I will say that it is a great boulder lifted off my chest and its the end of an era for me and the beginning of a new one.
(Now all I need to do is find a cure for the stupid S2000 Rear End So I can buy one and build one after UTI)
