GRADUATED!!!!!!!!

Well, I did it!  I am finally GRADUATED!!!!!  *Fanfare*

It's rather hard to expound on something that big, so here's some pictures.

This is the Makey Auditorium at UC Boulder where the ceremony took place.

I'm the one doing the peace signs and wearing the bright green Crocs.

I'm fifth from the left.

From left to right: Principal, Austin, Abreana (salutatorian), Rachel (valedictorian), and Amanda (opened with the National Anthem)

Me walking across the stage to get my diploma so I can...

Do the Final Fantasy Victory Pose!  (I sang the tune and everything.  Level up!)

This was taken by my dad after the ceremony.  You can see my mom and little sister in the background.

Me and my guidance counselor

Apparently bunny ears never get old -_-"

A nicer picture of my mom and me without my little sister doing bunny ears

My dad and I.
Notice that I censored my name on my diploma.
The last thing I want for graduation is creepy stalkers, haha.

My mom and 12-year-old sister Kaela

Because my school had such a small graduating class (I believe only about 70 graduates came to the ceremony), they put the picture of our choice up as we walked up to get our diploma.  Everyone did a picture of themselves.  I, on the other hand, did the Final Fantasy III icon behind me with my name under it and the title Game Master!  (lol)  You know, just in case people weren't quite sure what I was doing when I did the Final Fantasy theme while holding up my diploma. 

I found the picture quite appropriate since I was president of the gaming club this past year.

As soon as I left the auditorium with the rest of the graduates a fellow grad came up to me and asked, "Was that the victory song from Final Fantasy?"  And my parents said that no one would know what I was doing...ha!
