This is the End

As I sit here writing this in a chair in my backyard I'm cursing the clouds that keep stealing the sun from me.
Despite this happy post, I have a depressing title. But it's true, this IS the end, of high school.
My last few interesting memories start with grad breakfast. My first two period classes are art classes that are some how always responsible for planning and executing any type of school held event. The morning before grad breakfast we were blowing up balloons like crazy and rushing to get the center pieces done. Grad Breakfast was a success, and it reminded me who my real friends in this school are.




My Breakfast Outfit




After breakfast, a big chunk of the grads were leaving for our grad trip to Wasaga Beach. It was a great weekend filled with friends, fun and tons of sun.




















A week after Wasaga was PROM!
I went to prom last year with my boyfriend who is a grade ahead of me. It wasn't amazing and this year I wasn't expecting much.
A month ago I began making my dress. Yes you read that correctly. I made my prom dress. It turned out beautifully and my date had a matching tie (yes I made that too!)
Getting closer to prom I was preparing for my pre-prom party. A small gathering where family and friends come to take pictures of the gorgeous grads. My backyard (the setting for the party) was in need of some serious clean up. About once a week for a few months my mom and I would be out there weeding and cleaning up dried leaves. Closer to prom the boyfriend and friend helped lay down new soil and the day before they power washed the whole thing.
On the day of prom I had a orangized schedule and to do list for my mom, boyfriend and friend. Why didn't I help? Well I had a whole spa day booked from 10 am to 2:30 pm. I got the works done, body scrub, eye brow wax, facial, manicure, pedicure and of course hair and makeup. It was all worth it in the end when this gem of a photo was taken.




Isn't he cute!?
Despite my lack of excitement for the actual prom event, I had an amazing time. There was a photo booth and great music playing. The food was not awful and everyone looked great! I even won for most unique!




This was after prom. I was pretty hyped up from dancing! That's why my hair is such a mess.
Once the awards were announced there was about half hour left for dancing. My party bus groups was heading out then so we climbed on our massive bus to go to the after party.
When we arrived it was crazy! People who I've never seen at a party before were there, and had clearly been drinking, way too much. The party was outdoors only with a DJ and a huge light system. I didn't think it would last to long and as predicated around 1am the cops came to break everyone up.
My friends and I all went to my friend Julia's house to continue our own party. Around 5am I crashed and woke up at 10am in sweaty jeans and messy hair. I went home and shower'd off one of the best nights of my high school career.
Finally a few days later, today, Tuesday, I am done. I handed in my final projects, got my yearbook signed and said good bye to the those who I would miss.
I have one exam this Monday and a report card to eventually pick up.
It hasn't hit me that high school is over. It doesn't really feel like it is. Maybe it will when I finish my exam, or pick up my report card. Maybe even when I start college in the Fall. Who knows. All I know is that I'm ready for summer.




Stay Beautiful,
