More high school stuff

My friends and other people graduating.

Last night was my old school’s graduation. I went, thinking I’d regret not being up there on stage in a white dress, holding red roses, part of a class of “women of right heart and great conscience”. I didn’t.

I could have been one of them, and that’s enough. I have something that I wouldn’t have gotten there. It was nice to see my friends graduate, though.

My friends, frolicking in the Pacific Ocean.

Today was my school’s senior beach trip. We threw people into the ocean and got sand in our food. We ate ceviche and veggie burgers and listened to reggaeton. The chaperones watched while guys wrestled. The bus driver got mad at us for bellowing at the top of our lungs.

The water was cold, the air was windy, the sun was out, and we had fun.

i was so happy i got to see you!!! TRUST ME, you did NOT want to be up on that stage. The entire thing was phony and way to ceremonial. Plus we looked like virgin sacrifices. I miss you!
