Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me! Happy birth-dayy to meee-eee.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY... Toooooo MEEEE!!!Yeah well today(yesterday) wasthe senoir breakfast and I felt bad because it seemed like Alvin RJ and I left so quickly. But the eggs were a horrible green/grey colour! That was terrible. Everything was fun tho. It was really really long. Afterwards I went back to school and checked in my books and got my paper signed and finished high school. I'm only beginning to feel sad now. My books are gone and when I was on campus I was an outsider. People were surprised to see me. I didnt have to be anywhere. It was sad to be an outsider but it felt liberating not to have to be anywhere.
Then I lounged at home a little bit before going to pick up my sisters at school. At 2:40. Six minutes until they got out of school. My old school. DHS. I supposed I'm allowed to get used to saying that pretty soon. I had sophie, mmy littlest sister and we visited Yearbook/French 3 and there was hardly anyone in there. THey were all out putting up yearbook posters. When they all came back it seemed so small. Like there was nothing left. Ben was still there so we mailed off his Davis housing and went home.
Justin and I left for Minh-Chi's graduation at about 4pm. The trip to Alhambra was about 20 minutes long for any regular driver. But Justin was my navigator and I was the driver so we didn't get there for almost 2 hours. There were some phone calls and some backtracking and some map-checking involved. While we were there we realized just how tiny our school is. Their faculty is bigger than the DHS graduating class! The ceremony was very nice, and orderly, and there was this one choirboy who was reallyreally energetic and we were looking at her yearbook later and we found out that he won the Bill Gates Scholarship! $100,000 ! Gracious. well it was really cool to see Minh again. At first when jj and I were sitting with her family they were smiling and waving to an asian girl and I thought it was minh and that she had changed a lot and i was scared for a moment. But apparantly it was her friend Nhi or someone else they know. She hadn't changed at all.
We went with her family to a French/Vietnamese resturaunt and it was really nice. Almost everyone had fillet mignon. Mine had a good pepper sauce but the waitress didnt bring us our drinks for a really long time so we were really thirsty. After that we went back to her house because she wasnt going to grad night and she was going to go out with her friends but she postponed it to take us to see her house and her yearbook and such.(I later recalled that I'd already been to her house once...) And JJ and I both signed her Yearbook and marveled at the hugeness of it all.
We left her house at about 1140 and I got home at 1208 and now I am sitting here on my birthday ( I made it over the border back into Duarte before 1201! I don't know why it matters but oh well) wondering where everyone is. We have a senoir meeting tomorrow dont we? grr.... Lameness. I hope it's not tooooo early... Probably is. I should probably be asleep like everyone else. Maybe I will be soon.

I think I've grown far too dependant on people. I'm supposed to be going out to buy bread for our french party but there's no one to take with me. RJ and Ben, my usual shopping companions, aren't online. Justin isn't online, althoughI doubt he could come anyway. I don't go out alone. Ever. Except my summer walks of course. Or if there's no one online. Argh.Maybe we don't really need bread. I mean, what kind of party has bread anyway?
