   Speeches should be kept up to 30 seconds long maybe a minute but Im happier with 30 secs
Okay to talk about graduation, which I am so late for XD, I am a busy, busy girl, even on my free days I am busy.

Well first off, it was on June 1st (see how late I am) and it was raining. They opened the doors at 2:00 but graduation started at 3:00 so we stayed backstage standing in a line for an hour. Then we walk, we sit, introduce the guests and now come the speeches oh how I hate them. The principal’s speech was about the dash between you birthday and your death day on a tomb, dash this and dash that she would not shut up about the dash that was a whole 20 to 30 minutes. Then intro to the salutatorian the teacher also would not shut up and you could not understand what he was saying, it was just garbled noises. The salutatorian same as the teacher who introduced him you couldn’t understand him but I did understand that he was complementing way to many teachers, I think he thank all his teachers in his life. Intro to the valedictorian same as the people above then he goes to say she has a 6.2 gpa, yeah that’s thanks to AP, and there are two types of gpa weighted and un-weighted. I do not remember which is which but I’m sure you know that one is without the extra-added points of Honors and AP classes and the other is with added points, they obviously said the one with the added points, now tell me how much is it with out the points.

About the valedictorian, that girl was crying and thanking all the teachers in her life. She stops, applause from the “oh thank god she’s done” public and the girl talks again apparently she was not done. Now I’m at the back so nobody can hear what we are saying, now almost everybody there called her names because they were so pissed that she kept going, she stop and continued like three times. What she said was not a speech it was a freaking essay. Finally she stops and its time for diplomas (cases) well first person to get it has to be the valedictorian, well again they go with the whole 6.2 gpa and then the principal said that she came from another country in the sixth grade, and amazingly overcame the barriers of language. Okay so by here I am actually amazed I think she is from Asia, Europe (where they do not speak English or Spanish) Russia or Africa, oh no my friends girl is from Columbia. As if it was that hard to overcome the barriers of language in a freaking state where almost everybody speaks freaking Spanish. In addition, she came here in the sixth grade that is enough time to learn the language between then and high school.

Now about me I am in Cum Laude (Honors) there are three Laudes: Summa, Magma and (The original) Cum. Summa Cum Laude are the highest honors, Magma Cum Laude is with great honor and plain Cum Laude is with honor. Well us Cum Laude did not get to sit upfront oh no we had to sit with everybody else, I was so pissed here it is my last graduation from obligated school and I am not honored who gets honored the Summas and Magmas. In addition, random people who were invited to honor societies in their junior year. I was not here in my junior year I was in another country and I was #1 in my graduating class and there were not any honors classes nor AP. I will be honest most kids there were high idiots, 4.0 gpas are rare in that country. Therefore, what my parents (who were also pissed) did was that they bought a plaque with a pic of me that said my name, the (idiotic) School’s name, the year of my graduation and that I graduated Cum Laude. The plaque arrived yesterday ^_^

Okay now that I am done, is time for pictures whoot:
