Madcap Recap

The graduation ceremony and open house went swimmingly. I was a bit disappointed that some people didn't make it, but I had a great turn out overall. It made me happy. I know they're all corny and cliche, but the messages about the future and pride in me really touched me. 

My party had a really low attendance -- 6 out of 25 -- but I'll just repeat what I said to each person. "It's okay, I understand." People get busy, things come up. I'm grateful for those that did manage to come, because I would've been crushed if nobody had come. Talk about awkward. We ended up playing Apples to Apples since Bunco was out. I only had two cards for the first twenty rounds (at least that many rounds, likely more) but then managed to come around in the last set of rounds to win!!(!) My winning score was 15 cards. My actual birthday is tomorrow, and it's shocking to know I'm turning 18. My, my, how lives and people change. I am so grateful for all the people I hold dear in my heart: "that's how I grow stronger." Thank you for being in my life. I love you.
