I had to walk the graduates around to get their diplomas, today. Top 27 of the class did led them around. Go me.

:3

And I guess some things you don't expect. I've been to a LOT of graduations, and none of them really struck me until this one. It might be because I was in the center of the room instead of the sides, so acoustics were different, but I'm not sure.

It's just that...when our principal told everyone to celebrate the graduates, the entire room just...screamed. I'm sure you know those moments where you're just taken by how purely joyous a moment is--that was it. I could barely clap, it was just so...stunning. But I tried, because I'm...happy for the graduates. It's the first time that they've really been close to me. Leaving.

And so I guess that this is my story for the day. Time to go out to eat for Dad's birthday. I shall be driving myself.
