Graduation

I cannot believe how fast graduation is coming up. I will admitt.. it is a little stressful. Planning my grad party that is going to happen in less than a month, trying to get my photographer to get my invitations done in time, and addressing all the envelopes will be hecktic. I think one of the hardest things about having a graduation party is who to invite. I mean, I have a very distant family and do I really want my parents to waste 2$ on an invitation just so I can send it to my aunt and uncle in kansas who I know wont come? Its all just about being polite. The last thing I could care about is people coming that I hardly know, let alone the awkward conversations with them that will follow. I would rather just invite my close friends and family who actually take action in my life, not people who hardly know anything about me. If I had it my way, I wouldn't invite the simple "small talkers" but i know that it is important to my mom that we invite those people as well. Last night I took a look at the scrapbook my mom is making for my graduation party. It was absolutely fantastic! My mom used to be an artist and she clearly has a lot of her talent left. The pages were creative and it was quite intrigueing to see all of the old pictures I have forgotten about.
Yes, I am very excited to graduate and move on into another big chunk of my life, but it is also scary to think about all the things I will be leaving behind.
