last night i graduated ^o^ i was so tired by the end of it but im glad its over
its so surreal to think about. i've mentioned this before but watching other people graduate is not the same as graduating yourself
putting on the graduation gown felt so natural but at the same time i was so aware this was a really rare moment. when we were announced and as we were walking into the hall it felt so euphoric. id been dreaming of this moment!! we r the stars of this show yo (⌐■֊■)
the ceremony opened up with a choir performance doing "one call away"; while i'm still a bit skeptical about the label "choir" which is what they call themselves i'm not in a position to comment. it felt strangely fitting because i remember when i first entered this school it had been one of the songs i was singing with my friends. it's a really vivid memory.
im not about to narrate the rest of the ceremony because it was a lot of boring speeches and stuff. as we were receiving our diplomas they displayed our graduation photo and quote on a big screen behind us on the stage, which was a little embarrassing, but i was facing away from it so we all good. for posterity i wrote "i really wanted to write a cool and witty graduation quote, but guess what i went with instead" im so cool and witty yo..
right so. after all that some of my classmates performed a song yay song title wasn't in english but it translates to "our tomorrow". i dont mean to ruin the mood but the song title makes me think about the cabs' "no future for us (僕たちに明日はない)" which is a song i really really like. i had no reason to mention this other than i want to tell everyone how much i love the cabs!! if u like jrock pls listen
ok back to our scheduled program. we got flowers and gifts and we took lots of pictures which has got to be my favourite part lol
i also finally apologised to a friend i'd broke off with earlier this year without saying anything, and as of now we're ok. wont go too much into it until i feel like processing it in words but im glad that was resolved, and im glad they were so understanding. it was selfish of me but i learnt from itᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ i'll be a cooler person from now on guys
below images are the flowers i received from a friend and teacher, alongside my jar of 333 paper cranes :-)
i almost forgot to mention, my class is planning a graduation dinner tonight, but i dont think i'll go. i honestly need time to sort myself out and am not ready to join another event so soon lol. i know it'll be the last dinner i'll probably be able to have with my friends but this time i will have to prioritise myself (っ,,- ‸ - ,,ς)
