Documenting "the End": Part Three

Hello, you lovely Internet-surfers! I've realized that this is going to take a while if I really wanted to talk about each and every event that has been going on revolving us seniors and now graduates, so I'm going to definitely cut down and be concise.

On a side note, Happy Father's Day! I hope you and your daddies are spending some quality time together today. As for me and my family, we're going to Minado (a buffet / seafood restaurant with the most sushi variety I have ever seen by far) for brunner. Yep, that's breakfast, lunch, aaaand dinner. Time spent with food is the best kind of quality time there is!

On Wednesday, I was doing internship stuff in the morning. At night, we had a senior scavenger hunt throughout town that was very exciting. My team consisted of me and three other friends, and I was driving. Our team name was the Big Bad Bruins, and we decked out in Bruins gear and tats.

Although we were a small team, we actually tied for 2nd in terms of the actual number of points, which was pretty impressive, I thought (there were at least 20 teams). Plus, since there were only four of us, we got a lot more prize money individually than any other team!

On Thursday, we had a senior breakfast in the cafeteria, and then a graduation rehearsal in the gymnasium. Unfortunately, it was rather long and tedious...the assistant principals read through our names...twice. However, we were also given our caps and gowns, as well as our guidance folders throughout our time in the Westborough school system and an invitation to Project Graduation (which would take place after graduation).

That night, we had Awards Night, which was long but necessary, in which all of the teachers and departments presented different awards and recognitions to students. I received the award for AP Microeconomics.

Friday was also a day revolving senior events. From 9 am to 12 pm, I did the RAD (Rape Aggression Defense) Program that Mrs. Callendar and Mr. Rota were running. It was pretty fun actually; I learned a lot about different defenses for certain scenarios and there were many jokes cracked.

After that, I had Baccalaureate rehearsal for later that night where I would be speaking, and then a quick doctor's appointment. Then I went home and got ready for senior dinner at 6 pm (I wouldn't have exactly called it a dinner, since the spread consisted of fruit, chips, desserts, and veggies, but that's definitely not my call.)

Baccalaureate followed the dinner and was filled with great performances and speeches. I spoke about "Finding Your Place", a theme that I chose. I loved listening to my friends sing, play instruments, and speak about their time here. It was a great night with good vibes all around, and I couldn't wait for the next day: GRADUATION!
