High School Graduation

[2005-06-17] @ [11:25 p.m.]

I have a friend who graduated last year who told me it really doesn't begin to sink until the next day after your high school graduation. Yet I think she is wrong because it feels so weird to know the fact now that I am free from the commonwealth's educational system. It is weird to know that I don't have a summer reading assignment for the first time since sixth grade.

Everything is just so weird.

I keep looking over my diploma thinking that it isn't real because for years, I can remember dreaming of the moment I am proclaimed a graduate of the commonwealth. Yet now that it has happened, I wonder if it has trully happened. It's really weird. I expected to be this big life changing thing... you know, something drastic and you would something life altering has happend. But the change is really subtle in my opinion. You know something big has happened but it doesn't make itself well known.

Or maybe I am just tired.

The day was long and very... productive. I graduated and a new chapter in the Life of Kelly is about to begin. I'm not sure if I am ready to face this thing known as reality. I never really liked it to begin with. Just take it one day at a time is all I can do.

Tomorrow is mom's birthday. Let the fun begin.

So, quick thanks for the image from confusedvision, under the Creative Commons License 2.0. The inspiration came from Lacuna Coil, an awesome gothic metal band from Italy. This place on the web is fueled by diaryland, firefox, psp 9, caffeine in any form, books, slavic literature, and random bursts of ideas. With the exception of the image and lyrics, the design and code involved is mine. Graize.
