Rest Ahead?

Whoa. What a week. You would think all I would have to say would be about graduation (which was awesome indoors!)...but it isn't! Yes, because along with graduation there were parties, practices, exams, and award ceremonies to go to. I can easily say that it was one of the most exhausting weeks. My aunts came in from Chicago on Thursday after the Senior awards day (where I got a scholarship!). We spent the rest of the time getting dressed up and down as well as getting ready for the party at my house Saturday evening.

Oh yeah, and for the first time, I got roses! Two sets, actually!

Graduation practice on Friday was quick and painless. I might have done something after that but I can't remember. Saturday was an early morning and a fight for a good parking spot/seat. Very luckily, my parents just happened to sit in the same row I did and, with a little previous guidance ("sit on the left"), they were about 7 feet from me. We have awesome pictures. Graduation went well, no speeches were too long and they even pronounced my name correctly. It went 2 hours, which, as you can imagine, was hard for my brother to sit though. After graduation we spent the afternoon getting ready for the party. We have tons of food left and it was lots of fun. That night some friends and I drove to Greensboro to go contra-dancing. My feet definitely hurt the next day, but I headed off to church for graduation Sunday. I also had to go to the Writers' Guild ceremony. It wasn't as long as I expected. Everyone got their picture taken for the paper and I am standing in the line with all the elementary school winners. Later, while the person complimented me on my speaking skills, someone asked if I was the 8th grade award winner.

I was even wearing a fancy dress.

Oh well, when I am 30 I will look like I am 25! Especially because I don't think I am growing any more.

So it was a crazy weekend, and I am really tired.

But I am sure I will get plenty of rest on the senior cruise...
