Paper Flowers.

...and it was pretty awesome. It definitely got my mind off things, especially considering...well, I've been having some difficulties. Leftover anger issues, one could say. But the film I saw with my group was really good. Basically, it's about a girl who has to put her life back together after she loses the use of her legs in a car accident. It was really sad in parts, but also really well-done. Great characters, great dialogue, great everything, really. 

Also going with someone from the group to the movie DJANGO UNCHAINED. My dad's a little uncertain about it, but I'm interested in seeing it at any rate. At least from what I've heard. 

And that's my day thus far. How are you guys?

...and I have to say it actually went pretty well! :D A few missteps, such as going to the wrong period when I was supposed to have a break and everything (not helped by the fact that I was already pretty tired. I didn't get much sleep last night, ugh!), but other than that, it went pretty well. :) The teachers are nice, the other students are nice, and I generally felt pretty at ease there. *Hopes rest of the year goes just as smoothly*

I will admit I was really nervous at first, especially in terms of giving my speech (especially after I heard all the other speeches and thought, "Oh no, there is no way in hell that I can measure up."). Also, in terms of sitting on the stage for two hours, trying not to have a panic attack. And even before walking in, trying not to have a panic attack. But honestly, in terms of everything at the graduation, I did okay -- and it was definitely a wonderful occasion. Great speeches, a few goofs like the microphone randomly shorting out while one of the administrators was giving a speech -- luckily, we had a good audience.

Overall, I can say that this was one of the best days of my life. A bit sad, yes, a bit emotional, yes, but ultimately? One of the best days of my life. :)

Went to Halloween party at my school earlier. Went as Belle -- call it a bit of a last-minute choice by my mom and I, especially considering that I was agonizing what to go as: Padme, Belle, Eowyn, etc. And let's say even we got the costume chosen (it was Belle. The yellow ballroom dress, to be more specific), I was still kind of scared of how the party would turn out -- I get really antsy in crowds, and I worried I wouldn't fit in (socially) well at the party. It turned out better than expected -- best parts were definitely the costume contest (even though I actually got a degree of stage fright when I -- for the first time -- decided to participate in it) and watching some really good movies. Am currently exhausted right now (and a little sad it's over), but satisfied.

In the meantime, I hope everyone who's reading this is having a great Halloween. :)
