Graduation

I'm so behind. I'm sorry you guys. I'm just absolutely exhausted right now. I am doing something a little special though. You'll see ;) I didn't get a ton of chords, so don't judge me please. I really liked our Salutatorian's speech though. It was about how our generation has done things for awards and not because we want to do them. One thing that really struck me was "awards should be a result of your efforts, not the reason for them." It was a thoughtful moment for me.

I made this headband myself. It's inspired by Girl with the Flower . She has the most awesome headbands that she sells, but none were all white for my graduation. From left to right it's my sister Caroline, myself, and my cousins John and James.

 James shouted "SORORITY SQUAT!" and we took this pose. John didn't quite know what to do since he's recovering from knee surgery. My first silly picture :) That's my special thing. Sorry if it's not so special.

 I hung my tassel on my headband after I graduated. I hated that caps. It made my bangs itch.

All my family that came took a picture with me. Except my dad, the photographer. And my boyfriend photo bombs us....

All in all, I don't really feel different. To me, graduating from high school and walking just aren't a big deal. It wasn't a struggle for me to get through it. It was more of a step towards where I really want to be. And where I want to be now is very different from when I started high school, and it may be different again when I finish college. I don't really see why high school is seen as a central point of life still. I think more people are finding who/what they want to be in college. What are your thoughts?

50 Shades of Red

As you can see by the title, something's going on with red. Well...I'm a redhead now! Whoo! I've been wanting to go red for a while, and I figured graduation from high school was a good time. I'm sorry I haven't posted the past few days, and that this is a short post. But I promise I will try to do something special on Friday (tomorrow I graduate!) to make it up.

This photo is from my senior drama banquet. The dress is a vintage find and the fascinator is from a trip to New Orleans I took for a college audition. We got it in the French Quarter market. You can really see the red here.

Prom

Today was kind of a crazy day. I came home after taking my Economics final to rush into Atlanta to perform in the Carter Center. I wish I had time for an outfit post, but I don't have any more daylight, so here's some pictures from prom this weekend.

Boho Day

I took my third AP exam today. Whew! And I still have two more! I'm so close to being done with high school. After my AP exams, I'm done. I have to keep this short because my mom ran to Tennessee today to visit my grandmother, and she took the camera with her. My dad's not home to teach me how to use the fancy camera. Rawr. Please excuse the quality of the photos because I ended up using an old camera. I have some prom pictures I might post later this week.

AP Exams!

I had my first AP exam yesterday and my first afternoon one (ever) today. Well it started almost an hour late and the weather has been none to kind for a blogger since I got home. Fingers crossed that it won't rain tomorrow for prom! I seriously hope the weather will let me get back on track next week!

Playing with Volume

That awkward moment when the missing camera is in your mom's car under some of her stuff. Oh boy. I'm just not going to go there. Today I decided to do a flowy blouse on top of a fuller skirt with some wedges. I wanted to try playing with volume. I have been so comfortable today! It's been amazing. My Music Theory teacher is awesome and decided we'd just go hang out outside for the last 30 minutes of class since it was so nice and we'd done everything we needed to do. We had block scheduling, so we'd already been there for an hour and a half.

 

Lost Camera

So, um, this is awkward. Well it seems that my family left the camera that we normally use at my aunt's house this weekend. We probably won't get it back until I graduate. I'll try to learn how to use my dad's fancy shmancy camera by tomorrow. At least enough to make a new post. Sorry about getting behind you guys!
