In the MIDDLE of Graduation

I'm curious.  Does anyone besides Billy and Steve actually read this more than once?  If so, please comment; I promise I won't think you're a creeper.

On to the actual note of the day:  I am a high school graduate.  I have my diploma and everything.  I no longer have to step foot into those school halls ever again.  I'm free.

It's rather boring, actually.  I liked some of the people there.  About 50-100 of them, actually (out of about 1800-2500; I don't know the actual number of students and faculty).  A week ago I said that I would do high school over if I had the opportunity.  Now, a week later, I have changed my mind.  I'm just glad I don't have to do it again.  I feel a little bit guilty about this next statement, but I'll make it anyway.  I don't think that school--including the people in it--had THAT much to offer me.  And since I'm a major introvert, I did not offer the majority of the things I had to offer them.

Btw, Imma tell you my demographics.  My family (5 people) doesn't make THAT much money (80-85K per year); we're considered "lower-middle class".  We are considered WASPs unfortunately.  We have a very moderate number of family friends (neighborhood people and church people), and our family is not that huge either (3 families on my dad's side (9 total counting children and funny uncles and family-by-marriages), and 2 families on my mom's side (10 total counting children and my last grandfather)).  My family ranks about like this in order of intelligence: Me, Mom, brothers (not sure which is smarter, prolly older), Dad.  We live in a neighborhood of about 30 houses where we have to drive 15 or 30 minutes to get to most of the places we normally go.  Knoxville is one of the best places in Tennessee as far as I know.  We aren't that hickish and apparently we are one of the most LGBTQ friendly places around, but I'm not so sure about that.  My high school was a public school with less diversity than a number of other places--though we still had some diversity.  My life has been very... Middle.  I'm rather well-rounded.  I never received any grade below a 97% in my high school classes--and I took THE hardest classes (though "hard" in a public Tennessee high school is not THAT outstanding).  I got the Senior English award because the Senior English teacher loves me and they had to spread out the senior awards to many people, but my true strength lies in Math (and science though to a more moderate extent) run-on sentence ftw.  I'm pretty excellent at sports--specifically soccer and previously gymnastics (I've never really tried baseball because it seems super boring but if I practiced a little, I could be good too).  I'm just well-coordinated.  I can be social when I need to be--I'm just really quiet because I have little to say.  So in terms of mental strength, I excel.  In terms of physical ability, I excel.  And in terms of friends, I do alright.  I have yet to have a relationship (and I could blame that on any number of things, but I think that I just generally dislike most of the people I know who actually fit my gender and sexuality preferences).  My grandparents were the first ones in our family (I think) to have gotten high school diplomas.  My parents and their siblings were the first in their families to get their college degrees (mostly bachelor's degrees, though I think my Mom has a master's and my crazy Uncle got a medical degree before totally shutting down and living on money from somewhere--I'm pretty sure it was his from a long time ago). And I will be the first person in our family to be an engineer.  MAJOR LONG PARAGRAPH NO BREAKS 4 U.

And again, graduated. YUS. <--mix between Japanese "yosh" and English "yes"
