Hello and Goodbye

after attending the graduation today i have some thoughts. wait a sec. turning the music down would clear my head. ok, done.

(btw i always concentrate in quiet places)

does goodbye can really clear a problem? let's see a case. two of my friends just made up in graduation today after a massive fight in cafeteria two months ago. i finally forgave the person who i don't like ( but he liked me. i don't like him back). and i had the nerve to talk like only a word to the person i like ( and i'm sure he didn't like me back). 

are goodbyes a necessary solutions to a problem, i ask? seems so. to us, goodbye is a form of last chance for us to do something good or bad. it's like now or never. the fact that we fear of regretting something makes up the bravery to do that thing by the last chance. seemed a bit desperate, but it makes a good ending. and goodbyes are endings.

 in another hand, hello usually means beginning. hello is a fresh start, like the word itself. if goodbyes are considered last chances, hello is a second or first. it means that we are given another chance before the last chance comes. it's like a trial. for example the first days in school. 

new grade, and we try to adapt again. new friends, and we start all over again. new classmates, and we try to get along. hello is all about trials. 

now that we're done discussing hello and goodbyes, i WILL tell you about my graduation today!

morning- getting my hair done with dhifa at a salon. i got hairsprayed. i hate hairspray ( the one in can, not the musical). i know the point is supposed to make my hair stay in place but i hate that it's making my hair texture rougher. then i get my nails done. it's magenta and i hate it. should've done lilac or maybe Chanel's baby blue.


afternoon- graduation! i am now in my traditional clothes and in my toga cap and gown. i walk in line to my seat, waiting boringly through the speeches, and get to the stage. i get my braid in the cap placed from left to right, get a medal, and my certificates. because my class is first, i then walk back to my seat and wait for the others to get done. then we had our pictures taken.


after that, we released the doves from a cage ( pointless, but anyways) and threw our caps in a HSM-fashion. which is cliche but so fun. but it sort of hurts if the caps fall down and poke you in the head or eye or somewhere.


then we traded our toga cap and gown ( school own it ) for our reports and the YEARBOOK. i'm in the yearbook team so i'm so proud of it because it looks AWESOME like i would really give 5 stars. after that we eat food while watching my friend nadia's band La Fourchette perform. she's a brilliant drummer!


then all classes had a performance. 9Y sings lean on me, 9S sings breaking free and another song i don't know, 9T sings that's what friends are for ( oh teary eyed me!) my class 9N sings leaving on a jet plane ( impromptu acapella. the tech people can't connect my friend's iPhone to the laptop) and 9P sings somebody to love.


everything was great. finally we all were signing each other's yearbooks. all and all it was a fun saturday and its definitely very memorable. we all came together.
