It's Been A While

I was actually happy to remember my password for my blog without any help.

Today, well yesterday now, was my graduation from high school, I was quite nervous since of course there is always the fear of tripping in front of everyone. The fact that the girls had to carry flowers killed me as well. I find nothing wrong with flowers but holing them nearby for about two hours when your allergic to them can be a little much. The one thing about graduation is that it can make you look back. Even without people mentioning things, my mind still wandered into the past. As I watched some people walk up for their diplomas I thought stuff like, I remember crushing on him, or the fact that we sat next to each other in class which is probably the only reason we've ever talked to each other.

I always thought graduation was only a way to say be to the high school years and show that you are entering the next stage of your life, but somehow by sitting throught the cermony I realized that we are also remembering high school, showing that we are proud of what we have done in our past four years, and that somehow we will make it to the next part of our lives after this, since we've made it so far. Gradution can be a time where one realizes things they wouldn't have thought about if they didn't see everyone walking pass. Hearing what they have accomplished during their past four years, and learning their future plans.

There is also one hope for future graduates at the school I have graduated from, and that is that they don't choose an extremely hot day for your grad. Our school is famous for that and maybe someday, the cycle will break and instead of sitting together in a room that is stifling hot and crowded, you'll be able to breathe and not keep praying for everything to end soon just so that you can get out.
