Does this look like the face of a graduate?

I can't believe that I finally walked the stage and got my diploma!!! Of course, none of this is documented on film as 1) my father being a man, does not own a camera (seriously) and 2) he totally MISSED my graduation! Yes, he was there, but he missed me walk in and thought that I had missed my own graduation. Than when I was on stage and they announced my name, he heard it, but couldn't see me. So inadvertently my dad missed me getting my diploma! He does claim that he pointed me out to my grandma and brother though, so we'll let it slide....for now! He did get me Tiffany's as a graduation present, so he's forgiven :)


There was some drama in the day of course as when we graduated the school only gave us binders for the diploma, not the actual thing. We were all wearing shawls that said what magnet program we were in and those were checked out by the school, not the gown company. Long story short, I almost did not receive my diploma because I accidentally turned my shawl into the wrong people! It was a big ordeal and I sobbed my little eyes out, but finally after searching and communication back and forth, we found the missing shawl and I was declared a graduate after all. THANK GOD. I couldn't end my high school career without something happening, right?





Diploma is inside the blue binder. I was going to post a picture of it, but since it has my full name in it, I was hesitant as someone stealing my identity would NOT be good. Too bad, I'm so proud of it! It's currently being displayed in my front foyer!

And in other exciting news, I've decided to keep on blogging. Sparingly yes, but keeping on regardless! I'm going to go through so many huge changes in my life in a few months, I'm going to need somewhere to write where I can keep sane! Who knows, maybe my big break will be my blog...how funny/amazingly awesome would that be?
