Graduation: BEDSY Day 174 Plus the Weekend (Mon. Jun 11th, 2012)

I'm graduated now. I make my own rules.

Kind of.

I knew I wasn't going to post Friday night after graduation (mostly because I was at a friend's house until 1 p.m. the next day and then had to go to another friend's house that night, and went to two more friend's houses yesterday...the joys of having all your friends graduate with you...on the other hand, I haven't gone hungry at all this weekend...especially when one of your friends has Filipino relatives from out of town (SO MUCH FOOD)) so I thought I'd just save my last BEDSY entry until I had a day off from partying.

I'm enjoying being home and not having any real obligations. I start working part-time at my family's storage place next week, but like I said, it's only a part-time (three days a week). I don't have any homework that's due at the end of the summer (for AP). In fact, I don't even start school until the 26th of September. That's a long effing summer. And I'd like to think I deserve it.

And maybe this is finally the time for my anxiety to finally be in check, since I literally have nothing to worry about. At least, not of the magnitude that I was worrying before.

A few people have asked me if I feel any different now that I have graduated (by the way, I don't actually have my diploma, either...I have to go back and get that in July)...and I don't really feel that different. I guess that's normal. I find it funny that I'm sitting at home on my computer and watching T.V. while the rest of my non-senior friends are still in school (well, not now since it's four in the afternoon). That's a little different. But I don't feel older or wiser.

The ceremony itself was long and boring, for the most part. A solid hour was dedicated to reading the names of the graduating seniors. A solid hour. There were a few speeches, which were pretty good. There were a few hiccups as usual, including the misreading of almost an entire line. But that's my high school for you. Plus there were almost 600 of us graduating. Something's bound to happen.

Now I guess I'm at a loss of what to do with myself now. I want to start running again, but I'm kind of waiting for my anxiety to subside a little but more for that to start (that's a terrible excuse, I know). Get off this stupid allergy medicine, which I think is contributing to my anxiety. I have to go up to Bellingham for a few days this summer to sign up for classes. I have a two-week dog-sitting gig in the beginning of July. I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled (could solve the ear problems I've been having for the past few months). Write some more (stuff that's not on here). Read (I have two books lined up thus far, and I actually want to finish one of those tonight...I think I can...). I have to go back to school some time this week (I think I'm going tomorrow) to finish up some stuff (nothing school-related, just getting some last  signatures in my yearbook). Watch movies I've been meaning to watch and re-watch (it's been a really long time since I've gone to see a movie in the theater...my friends know this). Hang out with my friends when they're not working and when I'm not working. Not spend the summer hiding out in my basement.

I'll be posting other things in the next few days.

To my fellow graduates: Happy First Day of Summer!!
