I'm not going to lie, I wasn't really paying attention during the graduation ceremony. The speeches? Yeah only listened to less than half of it. I even started counting the names of all of the graduates on the pamphlet (and had to restart countless times because I kept on miscounting). Once they started calling students up to receive their diplomas, I became anxious. Question after question, statement after statement stared popping into my head: "What if they mispronounce my name?? Wang isn't that hard to say..." "I HAVE TO PEEEE!!!" "UGH this is taking forever." "What if I trip while walking on the stage?" "I shouldn't have worn these heels..." And then finally, "Rose Meng Wang". YESS!! It was finally my turn. That's it ladies and gents, it's over.

Class of 2009, we did it!

It was definitely a fun four years (even though it became pretty drama-ful at times) but it did indeed go by pretty fast. I know, I know, beginning of freshman year Bazydlo (our grade administrator) told us that our "four years are going to go by really fast" and everyone snickered thinking it was all a bunch of bs. Now that high school is over, it really did. From our freshman days when we were terrified of the very large and incharge seniors, to our sophomore semi where we thought we were freaking awesome because we had a statue of the Eifle Tower as part of our theme. From dying of PA in junior year (for those of you who don't attend Shrewsbury High School, it's basically a very long project that's given to us because they feel the need to ruin our lives), to "dominating" on field day during our senior year. I had a blast. I really hope I keep in touch with the close friends I made in high school, because that would be fantabulous. But then again, who knows what the future may have instore! High school is FINALLY over. Lucky for us seniors, we get out a month before everyone else. HA! Suckasss :)
