I graduated from highschool on Friday night...

[mcrickson]

...last name is near the beginning of the alphabet, so once my name was called and I got my diploma, I sat back down, whipped out my cd player that I had expertly strapped to my pelvis (my mum would've flipped had she knew I had it on me), and listened to my mix of 'Bona Drag/The World of Morrissey' in it's entirety.

It was funny because at the end of the ceremony we stood up for the playing of the alma mater (I couldn't hear what was going on, I just stood up because that's what everyone around me was doing ), and so I took my mortarboard off for the playing of "Disappointed" in my ears
It very much relayed my feelings toward that hell of a highschool I had to put up with

I used to be able to sit in the back on stage. Now I think this year I may have to sit more up front. That means no more iPod.

I should have done that during my graduation...I was so bored. I just wanted to get away from all those people I'd had to put up with for four years ASAP. Congrats, though. What's next?

 

[mcrickson]

Thank you
Yes, it was rather boring, but I had Mozzalini to keep me company
Next is University of Pittsburgh for information sciences, then, evenutally, library sciences masters degree
I'm looking forward to it.

Dude, you were lucky! Our school played, "Dust In The Wind" by Kansas ( kind of an insult, really. "All we are is dust in the wind...." wtf?

I understand. every year my school uses the most cliche songs, I swear next year it will be "Time of Your Life".

 

[troubleluvsme]

Once upon a time, when I graduated from high school we had a ballot to choose our class song. A bunch of us wrote in Bob Seger's "Turn the Page," but "they" rejected it.

We ended up having something really lame.
If I had a facebook, I could probably ask one of my old HS "friends" what it was.
They still like to pretend they're in High School.

haha, that was this years song at my school. I graduate next year so hopefully its not something TOO bad.

 

[JoyDiv007]

Our class song was- I want to go back??? I didn't vote for that one. Hell I was so glad to get out of there.

 

[MindlessRuffian]

Sounds more fun than mine. Crying was much less fun.

That would do me in. I don't go anywhere without it. I love my ipod(s).
