Pomp and Circumstance

For those of you who are totally oblivious as to what has happened in my life, I will tell you.

Last night....I GRADUATED! No, I'm not kidding! I, Kirstin Joelle Tucker, have stepped into adulthood (forget the fact that I'm only 16.) I feel so old, but I also feel SO AWESOME! I'm not a highschooler anymore! I still think that part hasn't sunk in yet, because today when I was at the soccer fields, some kid asked me what grade I was in and I almost said "Oh, I'm a senior" before catching myself and saying "I just graduated last night!"

I feel so stress-free at the moment, and let me tell ya...that is an AMAZING feeling! I haven't felt this good in a long time! I have nothing to stress about now that graduation is over!

Last night, I was 100% sure that I would get up there and bawl my eyes out. I highly surprised myself when I got up there and didn't shed a tear. Of course, my voice was still shaky and I had to pause a few times to breathe, but other than that, I held my own! I showed myself that I am stronger than I think! But then, once I got off the stage and sat down, the tears. were. POURING! I was watching my slideshow, and I just couldn't stop crying. I kept thinking "Oh my gosh, I'm going to miss everybody so freaking much." I looked over at all the seniors sitting beside me and finally realized that that was it, I realized how much I am going to miss them and all the good times we have together. I knew I shouldn't have typed that out, because now I'm crying! Pull yourself together, Kirstin!

Anyways, I'm very satisfied with how graduation went, and I am SUPER proud of all of the other Seniors! I don't think they'll every fully understand how much all of them mean to me! I really hope that we won't all go our separate ways and never see eachother again...because I can't live without my brothers and sisters! I love them so much!

Oh great, here come the tears again. I'm stopping now before I bawl.

Signed,
A Very Teary Kirstin
