The end is finally, finally here, it has passed, and I still haven't grasped it. I am no longer a high school senior, I am now a First-Year at the University of Virginia.
Like I said, I can't grasp it. It doesn't seem real. Perhaps when I really leave it will feel new, but for now I feel no different--I'm still the same person I was before I received my diploma on Friday morning.
The ceremony was beautiful. It was outside and my only complaint is that I got SO much sunburn! It's fading to tan though, so it can't be that bad, right? :)
I think the weirdest part about graduating and leaving school for the last time was realizing that I probably would never see half of these people again, give or take a far-off reunion or two. It's a strange thing to think, and another one of those things I just still haven't let sink in.
