I graduated today! Wooo! Well...yesterday. It was pretty grand and whatnot. All the usual band and choir stuff, singing, and general monotony. That is, except for the beachballs someone decided to bring deflated. We blew them up while sitting there and started just bouncing them right then and there across the grounds whilst we sat. The principle didn't seem to like it at first, but I think he warmed up to it.

Afterwards there was a 'party' at the school that was all night, until 5 AM. It was great, there were funfair things and rockband and prizes. We had a really cool magician who was, for most of the students, their middle school german teacher.

After we were let out I head to my car and got in. I took a deep breath and I suddenly realized, this was it. The sun was rising beautifully and I was literally witnessing the start of the first day of the rest of my life.

So how was your graduation SE++?

TL;DR - Veretas is a poetic faggot. Also mom/lottery joke.

    Great, now you have to go get a job and go to college. Oh by the way, the world is a lot larger and scarier than high school.

    Shit, i wish i was still in high school, I was lazy as fuck. Now I have to be all productive.

    the principles and superintendent didnt find it all that funny

    they stopped the whole thing and one of them came and took it, which just meant that we had to pass the doll down the row, and then we got pictures of a principle walking with this sour ass look on his face and a blow up doll tucked under his arm

    Blow up dolls are always funny. I can't think of a situation where they wouldn't be. Someone could replace my parachute with a blow up doll and I'd probably be laughing my ass off as I slammed into the ground.

    That sheep continued on into the air, having been inflated with helium, and was unfortunately what took out the space shuttle mid-air.

    Man we weren't 'allowed' to throw ours up. Didn't stop us though.

    I didn't bother, the girl next to me did. The second after she did she started complaining she didn't have her hat anymore.

    Congrats, Veretas. Shit's about to get harder, but the freedom is worth it. You're officially to the point where if you wake up one morning and go, "Fuck, I wanna move to Atlantic City," you can theoretically make it happen.

    Side story: I came so close to not graduating high school that they actually sent out the "you didn't graduate, get ready for summer school" letter. It's currently in the folder along with my diploma.

    yeah, i didnt throw mine up either

    all these people spent time and money to decorate the tops of their mortarboards, then they threw them up in the air only to go crawling around on the floor looking for them 10 seconds later

    I talked to my boss yesterday and he was cool with the idea of me working only part-time instead of full-time so that I could actually do my degree on campus instead of by correspondence. So I'll graduate at the end of next year, instead of at the end of 2010! Yay me!

    Not so yay: part time income :(

    I just think it's a little too easy to dismiss the value of high school entirely. I mean, I have some pretty big problems with formal education as a whole, and will likely never go to college. But to act like there's absolutely nothing of merit in high school is just being silly.
