I find it very amusing that for some of us it's coming up to the 10 yr reunion and then there's a whole bunch just graduating this year..
Hehe, makes me feel kinda old sometimes. I grad'ed in 98- and that was only cuz I got kicked out and had to go to another school the next year. lol

Well it wasn't too bad about 5 years ago.

My grad was boring and basically of little to no consequence. I work my green cargos underneath my gown.. the whole thing was a laugh (not the funny kind), as evidence by the expression on my face in the post grad photos.
My only regret is not taking the opportunity to kick martha piper in the box.

Grad was fine (5 years ago). I sat beside our school's bball allstar/class clown. That was almost entertainment enough! His ongoing commentary was hilarious and made the time pass much quicker. And when each of us walked across the stage to our prinicpal, we each had a marble to hand him while shakin his hand. His pockets were so full by the end of the ceremony. He he he.

^ We did something similar... we all had Plastic Army Men. He had an entire Regiment and maybe an extra Platoon in his Pocket at the end.

For the most part i had fun at my grad, (2 weeks ago.) It was outside and it was a really beautiful day so i got some really nice pictures. Since it was so nice out though it was cooking hot for the three hours i had to sit for the ceremony wearing a gown over top of my grad dress. Imust admit that i did have alot of fun getting all dressed up and having my hair and makeup done and all that stuff. Im not usually the type to wear a dress, let alone a pink one so i figured id go all out since i probably wont be doing it again till my wedding.

Mine was this year... wow, did it suck. I went to a private religious school, so basically everyone in my grade sucked balls (not litterally... which almost makes them worse). I was lucky enough to sit beside the guy that lit off the first stink bomb... on the upside, he brought about 3 naked blow up dolls, and I got to help him blow them up... Atleast that was some entertainment. And when we walked across the stage, we don't get to pick a quote or anything, your bible teacher picked a bible verse... so it's not like that was entertaining.
Further, since it's a mennonite school, and mennonites don't dance... There was no real prom... We got all dressed up and had dinner at the school with our parents... then went on a cruise in Vancouver, but we weren't allowed bringing dates from outside the school. So... everyone at my school is a lame ass, and I couldn't even bring my boyfriend to entertain me. Wow... what a blast. But the worst part of all... No parties. The big celebration was a potluck at someones grandparents beach home, no alcohol, smokes, or cigars allowed. Instead, I got incredibly drunk at some other schools grad party. My first Friday of freedom turned out very well, I'd say.

I was a bit nervous, because I didnt know how it worked and stuff, but everything turned out fine...
I didnt take it too seriously, though, since my family wasnt there and I am graduating in 2 weeks again ( german and math provincials this week, 6 fucking hours each... ) I wish I was still in BC

Basically, the way I see it... All of your life is a balance of responsibility and control. When you're little.. no responsibility, but no control. When you're in school, a little responsibility, a little control. And when you're out, lots more responsibility, and lots more control. I guess weather "real life" is more favourable is down to the individual... How much is control of your own life worth to you?
