NEET-Not currently engaged in Employment, Education, or Training. That’s me!
So, one bit of my life is over…high school, I’ll never see it again as a student. However, I guess I’m pretty slow…still haven’t much felt the impact. I suppose I’ll start feeling it in the fall…when I really can’t see most of the familiar faces any more >>;.
Graduation, it was a bit of a hassle. The school’s a bit too cheap and big for an indoors venue, so we had it at the CSU East Bay amphitheatre, which was quite sunny…and sucked ass. My hair felt like it was burning up, it was so hot. The rehearsal failed it, it was quite unorganised, and since the shade was not on my side, I spent most of my time burning up. Then, while we were practicing the going up part, people left their seats to get into the shade…which caused much chaos and fail >>;. Furthermore, black jeans fail in summer, but that’s all I have. Oh well…
The real thing was just as crappy, except double the heat and sweat, because we had to wear the gown and formal wear and such. A lot more stuffier than a t-shirt, I must say. Michael kicked ass though, he wore his normal clothes. I wish I did that too…security was rather lax as well. They frisked us, but it was rather simple, dude felt my wallet but didn’t question me about it >>; Cameras and phones were hidden in easily found out places, yet weren’t found >>;. Funny thing though, my hair made the security dude hesitate a bit before confirming that I was a guy and not some girl in blue >>;.
Shade came down about halfway into the ceremony, but that still wasn’t soon enough…
The people, they were quite rowdy, and there was some girl a couple seats away that was screaming her heart out…and blowing my eardrums out as well >>;. Screaming things like “AIEEEEEEEEEEE THATS MY BITCH THAT’S RIGHT SHES MY BITCH AIEEEEEEEE” and other such things. I could have done without it…beach balls were thrown around twice, though the second time security was quite swift about it. It never reached my side, good thing, since I didn’t want to deal with spoiling it for everyone by accidentally knocking it out of the people’s reach. Chances are, that would have happened >>;.
After the whole ceremony, people took pictures, and then left. I ate dinner at some restaurant in Hayward, West Lake. We’ve been going there for years now, but it appears that there is a new owner, and the whole thing has been renovated, with better chairs, tablecloths, plates, and the same bathroom as old >>;. At least they fixed the faucets though >>;.
And that day, I realised how small a world it was. Some kid that I’ve known since middle school, Josh, his dad works as a foreman at the same envelope company as my dad, Tension Envelope. And my mum knows the mum of some other kid that I know, Calvin, who doesn’t even look Chinese anymore, even though his last name is Chan >>;. I apparently took pictures with him in the past…don’t recognise him though. Then at the restaurant, I saw my dentist, his wife and daughter there eating at the table next to us. Rather awkward on my part…he usually criticises my teeth >>;. I have to see him in a couple of weeks, yeah? >>;. Very nice man though, he paid for our meal, so that was very generous of him. I think I also saw Wendy eating dinner in the same restaurant >>;. Small world, isn’t it…
Listening to: Nightwish-White night fantasy. Symphonic metal wooooooo….
We worked hard, for four years, for this-One moment of unending heat and sweat >>;.
