OLIVIA GRADUATES!!!

And as you can see, I was thrilled to have pictures taken before the ceremony.

The ceremony as a whole was pretty much what I expected. It was mostly long...and a little boring. Up until it was my turn to walk across the stage all I was really thinking about was the fact that my cap was slowly slipping off the side of my head and concentrating on walking in my heels without falling over. After I walked, I had to focus on getting back to my seat without falling and balancing my cap.

And did I fall?! NO SIR! Ya, ballin as anything. But to the front row of my classmates, it did look like I stumbled. Not my fault, though. As I was walking across the stage, I hear Copernicus's father figure yell "Don't forget Copernicus!" over all the other wooing and clapping. And so I sort of cracked up a little. Other than that, did great.

So how does it feel being a High School Graduate? Pretty much the same as usual. Except now I can mark "yes" on job applications that ask if I have a High School Diploma.

I do feel a great sense of relief I guess, that I don't have to see many of my fellow graduates for another ten years, though. Because really, I wasn't very fond of a lot of them, and it sort of killed me inside to hear them go on about how Global Warming wasn't real.
