*Spitfire* · 06-19-2006, 02:51 AM

Ha yeah ^_^ I'm going to San Fran, I'm going to the Academy Of Arts. It's going to rock.

**GK Punk** · 06-19-2006, 02:52 AM

That's awesome, I have some friends that attended there and had a great time.

*Spitfire* · 06-19-2006, 02:53 AM

Yeah I'm all excited cause I've heard lots of good things about it and I've seen how awesome the campus is. Plus I love art and being around other artistic people.

*Masked Ninja* · 06-19-2006, 02:57 AM

Ooh, are you gonna be an art kid? College is usually great fun - still work, but more fun.

And congrats on graduating - our ceremony was supposed to be on the football field, but rain was threatening so we had it in the gym.

However you do it, it's a bother... but then you're free.

high school wasn't that bad, but everythings a lot better once your out.

*zkarlette* · 06-20-2006, 12:18 AM

Congrats Spitfire

Im proud of you!! I wish you the best in college give them all you've got, you'll do great, plus art is really cool

Where did you go to school? Cause see I went to school in Hell. I went to school in a place where no one around me was like me. And all the people who were like me dropped out. So I was forced to make friends with people I would have never even talked to. Their great people but if you saw us walking down the street you would probly be baffled.

Not to mention my class was the test class. They tested all kinds of new crap on us. The Cali exit exam, new harder STAR tests, making seniors go to school during STAR tests, and harder requirements.

And need I get into how stupid the people there were? People assume just because you wear black all the time your goth, emo, hardcore,*Insert Lame Hot Topic Poser Group* Well excuse me that I like black pants and the bands I listen to don't make shirts in any other color other then black.

Welcome to Milpitas High.

Welcome to Milpitas High.

I didn't have to go through any of the new test stuff like you did...but everything else seems like any high school to me...of course will judge you based on how you dress, its high school. The movies don't lie.

*Spitfire* · 06-20-2006, 10:16 PM

Haha yeah seriously they don't. Except we never had a jock crowd or any of that. Everyone is either a lame scene kid or an annoying gangster who listens to rap. I HATE rap, hearing it everyday angered me so much.

Sounds like you're generalizing everyone in the exact same manor that they generalized you. You're just judging them based upon what they wear and listen to. I don't care how poorly they treated you or how ostracised you felt. You reap what you sow, man.

*Spitfire* · 06-21-2006, 03:13 PM

You would honestly think that! But it's exactly how it is. It's something out of a nightmare I kid you not. My school was more sterotypcial then one could imagine. Virtually everyone was apart of every fad. It was at the point where I knew everyone who wasn't like that. And to make things worse my friend told me the 5th grade kids act like that too. She was a counsoler at Science Camp and she said all the 5th graders acted like gangsters and beat the crap out of each other all the time.

Horrible! I see what your saying, but I don't judge books by their covers. I talked to alot of people and though my school was big I knew most of the people there. And 90% of them fit in the sterotypes I mentioned. The other 10 were either friends of mine or I at very least knew them.

Congratulations on getting a piece of paper with your name on it, Spitfire.

Thank You ^^. I don't even know what it looks like though haha My Mom grabbed it from me about 20 seconds after I picked it up.

Space Lieutenant Josh · 06-21-2006, 05:20 PM

Ha. We didn't even receive our diplomas at graduation; they gave us the case for it on stage, and then after the ceremony ended you had to go to a separate table to pick it up from some people.

Yeah us too but either way my Mom nabbed both.

愛 · 06-21-2006, 09:56 PM

Voltron and my graduation kinda sucked. It was a graduating class of over 1,000 people (our high school was very large). It was basically calling out the names in a row and going up when it was your turn. We all lined up in order and went when our name was called. It was stupid. Someone played a trick on the woman shaking your hand, though. He put his phone number on a piece of paper and gave it to her as she shook his hand. Hilarious.

Oh, and we also were handed the case for the diploma, and got the real paper later.

*Cascadia* · 07-21-2006, 03:44 PM

Congrats. I remember my high school graduation back in 1997. Mine was on the football field and that year, he had 393 graduates. My first college graduation was a pain....it was a down pour and very cold. Everyone had to sit in the stadium

because there was 5,000-6,000 graduates.

Ra · 07-22-2006, 09:17 PM

Woot! You go Spitfire! Smile, live happy, get wasted on weekends, do everything to explore your new found freedom and dream college

*sniffs* People grow up so fast... *wipes a tear away from her eye* And to think you were hit by a car a few months ago...
