graduation day

Today was Graduation Day for everybody, but me. I had my best friend's graduation in Orange County, another friend's graduation (which i could not go to as it was at the same time as my brother's) also in Orange County, and then there was my little brother's 8th grade graduation here at home.

My day really started with my final 2 hour final period, ap chemistry, which i spent formatting and finishing this lab-thingy. Once that was done i proceeded to (the rest needs to be read in that quickly accelerating voice) go home, find my chemistry book, returned to school, returned the chemistry book, w a i t e d in the college/career to try and get a work permit (which i didn't get), then went to the camera store (because my digital doesn't like me and will never focus!), books to to pick up fluff reading for Cancun, picked up lunch for myself and mein Bruder, rushed home, ate the lunch that i had to scrounge for cash in my car to pay for, took shower, dried my hair enough so it wasn't dripping any more, picked clothes to wear at graduation and was off to orange county. All in the course of a little over an hour.

Now my friend's graduation was great. I'm really glad i went. It was blissfully short. (it ran only a little over an hour) I got to see a bunch of people i know and had forgotten that they were graduating. But then i left to get home to my brother's graduation.

Seemingly big mistake.

The trip home, which normally takes 50 minutes to an hour, took me 2 freaking hours!!! But i did make just in time to see my brother get his name called, walk across the stage-thingy (it was really more of a platform with astroturf) and sit down again. So yeah, i guess the 2 hours of hot traffic hell was worth it.

*grins*

Amazingly there was some other stuff thrown in there, but i have a feeling i'm starting to get boring (if i wasn't to start) so i'll end with this one final thing: (this is proof that as much as i like to deny it i actually am a silly teenage girl still)

Best personal moment (i.e. not involving someone else's graduation ceremony) of the Day:
I was walking to my car after [censored]'s graduation (i had to park really freaking far away!) and a guy (really hot guy) driving by (mind you he was in the passenger seat and the car was going at that crawl speed resulting from far too many people trying to get out a residential area at the same time), and he was totally checking me out. (A rare thing for me) And on top of that he (in front of the several other guys in the car and the other people walking behind me),

"I like your skirt."

Which i responded with a big grin and and thank you. And the best part was as i kept walking he continued to check me out as he drove away.

It may seem little and trivial to most, but it (on top of everything else good, happy, and graduationy) made my day.

Lame? Yes. Memorable? Probably. But everyday occurrence? No way. (i wish...)
