As I Go On

So, I am currently in Rochester visiting my Aunty Anne after a very eventful couple of days. Friday was my graduation, and though I was expecting to not be sad at all, I find myself emotionally distraught. Something about this whole thing seems so final. I feel as though I'm leaving my youth behind. I'm sure we all could agree that high school was often a real pain in the osh kosh bagosh, but, despite that, I had some of the best times in my life in that building, and I know in the future I will only look back at that school with fondness. I haven't even been a Middletown alumni for more than a couple of days, and I am already yearning for the past.

Friday night was the all night grad party. I don't know if you could exactly say the party was hoppin', but it was kind of fun and it was nice spending time with people that you more than likely will never see again (how depressing).

The actual graduation was decent. Of course I would have loved to graduate on the new field, but at least our graduation was memorable. Mother nature was very upset with us for some reason.

Thursday was the scholarship award thing. The food was very excellent, but they could have made the whole process of giving out the awards a bit quicker. Oh, and we had to evacuate the premises due to a gas leak? Good thing it's something we're more than familiar with.

Anyway, my dad got some nice pictures at the graduation:

So , I guess I'm leaving something behind as I go out into the real world (or the protective bubble of my college.) But I think I'm gaining much more. Independence, freedom, etc. I'm anxious to learn everything I can and to continue to develop and grow. I look forward to making new friends and cherishing the old ones, but more importantly, I look forward to seeing what life has in store for me.
