#classof2011

So I graduated yesterday. This is crazy.

I got there entirely too early, because that's the foolery they told me, and I didn't know any better. Stephanie (salutatorian) mentioned me in her speech. She used the word "swaglicious" to describe our class. Only her, right? She quoted one of Mrs. D'spain's last words to our government class, and it was so meaningful. Jenny's speech was simply beautiful. She talked about the different definitions of the word "brilliance" and said that the definition she knew was most applicable to all of us was the ability to radiate/reflect light. She said she knew that, because we were crafted in the image of the source of light Himself. Then she whipped out some scripture, and man. I wanted to cry.

I was nervous as all get out walking across that stage. But then I got my little diploma holder and breathed the BIGGEST sigh of relief. I'm done with high school. My chains are gone, I've been set free! I didn't cry at graduation. I didn't care to stand outside The Potter's House and take pictures with people I might not see any time soon. Perhaps none of this has hit me yet. But perhaps I just know what I have to look forward to.

I celebrated by going to dinner with my parents at Pappadeaux. No, sillies, I didn't go to the club. I had church this morning.

Baccalaureate was a blessing. "Your life is only as big as your faith, and your faith is only as big as your God." How big is your God? Mine is the bigger than the air I breathe. Sky's not even the limit <3

The last few days of school were a blur, son. I swore I'd be drowning in tears, but not even. I only cried in government. I cried because Mrs. D'spain was throwing out some madd love. And then I looked at Jehwet and realized my time with him was probably coming to a close, because he is such a fricken floater. Like, he'll make college friends and it'll be like, "Crystal, who?" So I cried kinda hard and hugged him fer a kinda long time. I gotta say this. In these past few months of Christopher emerging with some intense flavor (xD) I've come to care for him a lot. And even though his flavor has worn out, I'm gonna miss that boy. I really am.

I have a lot to look forward to this week. This is all so exciting. This is short because I'm coming back tomorrow with the good stuff. I need to speak with my wife.
