as we go on, we remember, all the times we spent together
well yesterday was graduation and before i start this will be long so just so you know.

when i got to school i was fine, i worked on some stuff and got stuff ready. it wasn't until lunch time that i got really nervous. i was talking to someone who was also speaking at graduation and i suddenly started thinking about it and i was so scared! i think i honestly had a panic attack, i couldn't breath and my heart was beating so fast.

i might have also been panicking because i had my exit interview for the same day. an exit interview is like a mock job interview where you have to show off your portfolio and then have the teachers ask you questions and you have to anwser them. it doesn't sound scary but when you're in that situation, trust me it is.

so my interview was at 3:30 after taylor's and i wasn't ready. it was almost like in a comedy where the person has to do something and everything is going wrong? yeah, that was me. my stuff wouldn't print so i had to go down there without a lot of it. my graduation index cards fell out of the portfolio. and i was like five minutes late.

my teacher i asked to participate was too late to be included so we got my other english teacher. so it was my favorite teacher, our old pricipal, and my other teacher. i had to go over stuff in my portfolio and i was so nervous at first so i wouldn't look at anyone and i was going over too much stuff and i had misplaced and duplicates of things.

despite that the questions part of my interview went great. i had good anwsers for every question and i made sure to look at the person who had asked the question while i anwsered. afterwards my teacher said i was one of the best she had done so far, she told me that she was nervous for me to do it too but i blew her out of the water. so basically i rocked that shit! XD

my aunt got there afterwards and i went to her house to get ready for graduation. got my hair straightened while i was writing my speech down on index cards. got make up put on and yeah, taylor and my friend timmmy (yes, three m's) pierced my ears in the computer lab again during fifth hour.

left with my aunt and did some posey pics next to a tree and a brick wall, if you're lucky, i'll show them to you. hee.

stopped by payless to see if i could find dressy shows but i liked the ones i already had better so i just stuck with those and went to the school. i thought i was late but i wasn't so i changed into my gown and went to find taylor.

then i went to talk to david, who took my place as first speaker (i am not complaining) he was so nervous that he made me nervous. it was freaken hot in the school so a bunch of us went outside and my dad showed up and then my mom and brother. i was basically freaking out before graduation, taylor demanded that i not cry because than she'd cry.

they hearded us into a room and gave us a pep talk and we all had to line up and go outside. people were honking at us while we walked and we lined up outside the backdoor enterance to the gym and everyone was scared. taylor forgot her speech actually and they had to send a teacher back to get it.

we all walked out and i couldn't breath, i was probably smiling like an idiot. we went and sat down and they started. my brother was in the reserved seating two feet behind me because he had to present a scholarship.

the whole ceremony felt like it flew by, everyone was scared you could tell. though to the right of me leaning against the gym wall was my friends, bobbi, brittany, jessica, and eric and they were waving at me and what. it was time for the speakers to go up and they called david first and i was watching intently to see what i would have to do moments later.

they called me up and my teacher was at the side of the stage and i got up there and was so scared! i just held my cards and read, i tried to sound natural and there was something wrong with the microphone so people couldn't hear us too well. i didn't look at anyone because i was afraid i would cry but i did get all teary eyed at the end but i didn't care.

the rest of the night is kinda a blur now, i remember they showed a slid show of the seniors and there was a good amount of everyone. then they presented the scholarships and i won one! i won the student council 'jason butts' memorial scholarship' it was for three hundred and fifty dollars. it was cool but to be honest my brother already told me i won so i knew all along but i still acted surprised. i also learned that taylor knew too and that this girl gina didn't want me to win because she didn't like what i was majoring in. (that kinda makes me mad)

then we walked along the stage to get our dipolma's and i was afraid but it went really well and we got roses from our teacher. taylor and brittany sang but it didn't go over well, taylor was good but brittany kind sucked in my opinion.

afterwards we went left the gym and than came back out to get onstage for our class picture. which along the way i got mobbed by my friends and people i kinda know and my fellow seniors who congratulated me on my scholarship.

we all got on stage and it was funny because people were like "i gotta pee" and it was so hot on stage and everyone just wanted to get it over with. we took three pics and than we took one of us all throwing our caps up in the air and david's cap got caught on the projector, who knows if he ever got it down.

after that was insane amount of picture time. i took pics with so many people it's not even funny. pics with taylor, family, bobbi, david, brittany, loads of pics.

hung around a long time after graduation and talked to people, made plans, promised that this wasn't goodbye.

i actually have to go back to the school today to print my independent study for my teacher and to get my real dipolma, since the one's they gave us at graduation were empty.

then i'll be done for good.
