Graduation Summary

Despite the fact that I am a day late on my promised update, I will recap my sister's graduation party. I got to the party at 2:30, so by the time I got there, the party had already started. That wasn't a big deal or anything, but I wanted to be there when it started at 2:00. It was mostly my fault because I forgot to set my alarm, so I didn't wake up till 10:30. By the time I got up, ate breakfast, and took a shower, everyone in my house was gone. So I had to wait for my dad, and he didn't pick me up until 2:00 or so.

Anyways, after I went around and said hello to everyone I could, I went over to look at my sister's picture board. The majority of the picture board consisted of events from my sister's childhood, and so I was naturally in some of the pictures. Seeing those pictures made me realize that I miss being a kid sometimes. It was a nice picture board, and it brought back a lot of fond memories of simpler times.

Eventually, 4 o'clock rolled around, and it was time to eat. There was a lot of good food there, but I wasn't that hungry, so I had a few pieces of turkey. After I finished eating, I went around and talked to a few relatives and whatnot. I also played some euchre with my friends and also went inside the house to play Mario Party with a few of my younger cousins. It was a fun time, but there wasn't much else to do there except sit down and talk.

The party got a little boring around 7 o'clock, so a few of my friends suggested that we go play basketball somewhere. There was a basketball court nearby, but it was packed with people, so we decided to leave the party to go and play some basketball at the usual spot. For those of you who don't know, which I am sure is most of you, the usual spot is in the street, in front of a friend's house. I am not very good at basketball, but it is good exercise and always reminds me that I need to get in shape. We played basketball for about two hours, and then we realized that the city of Roseville was having a fireworks show that night. So we headed over to another friend's house to watch the fireworks. We walked around for a while, even as the fireworks were going, and then we finally decided to head back over to my sister's party.

We got back to my sister's party at around 10:30 p.m. and sat next to the bonfire for a while. I put on some music and just sat there and looked up at the stars for about an hour. After that got boring, I decided to get a euchre game started. I played euchre for a while, I think until one in the morning or so. Finally, the party was almost dead, and the only people left had to stay the night because they were underage drinkers. Most of my friends also left at 1:00, so I just sat next to the bonfire and talked to my dad, and my sister's boyfriend Paul. Finally at around 2:00, my dad was ready to go home, so we said good bye to everyone and left.

That summarizes my whole Saturday at my sister's graduation party. Nothing too exciting happened, but I just thought I'd let you all know. I had a lot of fun though, I got to see some family members, I got to hang out with my friends, and most importantly, my sister got her day to celebrate her graduation from high school.

On a different note, I forced my sister to make a blog. Check it out here or under my links section. She doesn't know if she wants to get into blogging, but I told her to give it a try. We'll see how that goes, but I think that she will like doing it.
