Graduation

So I feel like I should write another post. It's been a while, after all. Yet I feel like I have so little to write about right now. I was off in Colorado for my Outdoor Christian Education class for a week, which was pretty fun. Then I came home and lounged about for a while. I'm getting ready to start work soon (working with 2nd and 3rd graders at a day camp), but before that I have two graduations to go to and a party to help my mom host. My sister's graduating high school, which means I'm getting old. I've been out two years already, and turn 21 in less than six months. Geez.

Of course I'll (probably) see old friends at my sister's graduation, which gives me mixed feelings. On one hand, it might be nice to see everyone again, make sure they're all still alive, stuff like that. But on the other hand, I've talked to so few of them in the past months that I don't think it's really that big a deal anymore. They're just people to hang out with while I'm at home so that I'm not confined to my family for three months.

Then I have my cousin's graduation. She's great, and I want to support her, but driving into downtown Austin, fighting through the crowds at the Irwin Center, sitting still for two hours (sitting still isn't really my thing), clapping for a few seconds when they call her name (a 'V', no less. No sneaking out early for me), then fighting back out through the crowds of people leaving one graduation and those coming to the next one, getting back to our parking spot (which will be Lord knows where), and then fighting through the traffic to wherever we're going after that. It gives me a headache thinking about it.

Maybe I complain too much, I dunno. Regardless, that's what'll be going on for me this week. Hooray?
