I told myself this would never happen...

...but it did. I have a blog. Thanks to Justin T. for the title, by the way. So I'm not sure how regularly I'll be updating this thing. Hopefully more than just a few times a month, but we'll see. But tonight's a good night to start, since tomorrow is GRADUATION. The day I thought would never come. And yet, here it is, right before me. I can only manage a "wow". I have so many emotions going through me right now, from happiness to sadness to relief to a bit of fear. It seems strange to think that in four years, we've grown this much, into adults ready to go forth. Four years passed by awfully quick, though. So, naturally, I feel a little...well, uncertain...about leaving the place I've had the honor and privilige of calling "home". Whitney High School, our pride--and, at times, the reason I wanted to trash everything around me. What a journey. From that first 9th grade class to 12th grade Econ, I've passed through so many hurdles and challenges, landing, finally, here.

And there's so many people to thank. Kev, for sharing my interests and talking no matter how random I was. Justin, for the tough love and making my days just a little bit happier. JP and Joel, for basically forcing some social knowledge into me. Kat, for being a punching bag and always being cheerful. Loris, for the hugs and the infinite understanding. Mukti, for the reality checks and conversations. Of course, my brother, Andrew, for sticking with me through everything. Yes, I forgot many of you. Just not right now, okay? This will be more complete after tomorrow. But seriously, everyone, thanks. I love y'all, class of OH EIGHT!!! And the little ones in other grades.

Like I said, more to come tomorrow, after the ceremony.
