Graduated!

Here is one of my countless poses I did before graduation. Yes, my cap isn't on all the way. Yes, the chicken is my friend.

Mom was taking too many pictures in the sweltering heat, I just flopped. She just wanted different angles of the yard, but had to add me in with them. (I think she was mostly taking pictures for the yard...) Many of the pleasant(er) pictures are on her film camera, so we'll have to wait for a while for those.

I also felt like this during the graduation ceremony. I was in the very back, it was very hot, and I had no clue what was going on. So I played with my tassel, and hoped I didn't look like a dunce. At least I wasn't talking really loud like the girls behind me...

It was boring. I know that my peers who spoke really put a lot of thought in their speeches and quotes, but I think we already know what's ahead of us, what we ought to live up to. Our graduation theme was really corny. "The Legacy is then. We are now. How are we going to live up to it?" What legacy? What are you talking about? Eh? And shouldn't it be "The Legacy was then?"... Bleah. Just give me my diploma. I'm out of that crowded noisy claustrophobia-arousing building.

This is definitely by far my most favorite picture of the batch. I got a chance to take a picture with my coach of eight years! Poor guy. He hates coming to these graduations, because he loses us to darn college. (We'll have to see how the picture with Mrs. Coon turned out. On mom's camera...I can't wait!)

This is a sillohuette of me after graduation in my backyard. No matter what angle I took, (I was doing these by myself...) the sun got in the way. I wanted to show off my pretty 10-year-old vintage dress. (It's the same one Emily wore to her graduation...)

I guess this one will have to do...

Well...I'm going to go watch a movie in my quiet little room, and go to bed.

No parties for me! No way! You know me better than that. I'm an introvert, and I prefer to stay that way. :)
