I graduated high school last week. As several people have pointed out to me, I am now an alum of my high school. My recent graduate status is sinking in slowly, but it is definitely sinking in. I had to go back to my school today to pick up some final papers and get everything wrapped up, and it was weird. I already felt that I had outgrown the school, and that I no longer belonged there. However, I'm not sad, strangely enough. I guess I am just really ready to be moving on to new things.
I spent my entire last semester waiting for it to end, and waiting to graduate. I literally started the school year thinking "Only 90 more days!" but my time in high school has ended so anti-climatically. I wasn't expecting fireworks or anything, but I guess I was expecting something, and really, nothing happened. Very few of my other class mates were graduating, and the school wasn't doing anything either.
But I'm recognizing my graduation in my own way: I'm going on a train trip across the U.S. for a month. I will be using this blog more, as I will be blogging from the road and keeping updates about what I am doing.

I guess that's what happens when you don't have a graduation...i felt the same thing afterward though - didn't really miss it and felt kind of awkward hanging around.
