Yep...we had an 8th grade graduation when I was in school too...it was THE thing then...but 1st day of school my freshman yr in hs hit and it was like the big let down....small fish...big pond...
Still I'd give anything to be able to go back to those high school years...I didn't realize it, but life was easier then...now it's cubicle city....it sucks going to work in pain like I've done lately, and a lot of people have said I deserve a medal for working as hard as I do considering what I'm up against physically, but it IS hard....
I'm debating calling in tomorrow with "rectal glaucoma" though....after the hellish couple of days I've had going through this, I feel like I'm totally drained....school sounds like heaven to me now...
