I wanted to start a single post for this subject because I just absolutely LOVED the graduation song!
Anyway, so this song is Pyramid by the ever-talented, rising star Charice Pempenco. It's so sweet and I'm gonna cry whenever I hear this song! (Which is a problem because I love, love, love this song and keep replaying it.)
I actually loved Stardust's (this "special" chorus class that my music/choral teacher Mr. R teaches. The thing is, I think he's a pedophile. Plus, the members aren't all that good. I mean a few are SUPER TALENTED but some of them can't really sing all that well. They try to copy pop artists' singing style, but it just fails because it's like they can't be original! Plus Mr. R's arrangements sometimes just suck.) arrangement for Pyramid! They turned it into an acoustic guitar version, which sounds like it would just KILL the song, but it made it oddly even more emotional. Also, they change the beggining lyrics from:
Shawty's love is like a pyramid (ooh)
We stand together till the very end (eh ooh)
There'll never be another love for sure (ooh)
Iyaz and Charice let we go...
To:
Our love is like a pyramid (ooh)
We stand together till the very end (eh ooh)
There'll never be another love for sure (ooh)
Class of 2010 here we go...
So that it just fits graduation perfectly! Otherwise, this is obviously originally a love song. ;P

Graduation: A New Door Has Opened
Helen Keller once said that, "When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."
I would like to take credit for piecing together the idea of graduation and the quote above, but I actually stole it from one of the student speeches during the graduation ceremony, heehee.
Honestly, I think that's definitely true and applies to many situations in life.
But anyway, yes today was my last day of school in this town (and state) EVER. First, I was in shock at school. Then it hit me later in the afternoon at the graduation ceremony, and I cried so much. It's weird, but no one has ever seen me cry until now. So yes, this proves that I AM human. :)
I'm kind of at loss for words. I don't really wanna get all emotional because I don't really want to start the waterworks again! So, at this very moment, my parents are setting up air mattresses and such because our beds have been packed away with all our other belongings. In fact, the house is pretty darned empty, with just this table that my laptop is on right now and the little stool I am seated on. It's cool that since it's so empty, it ECHOES. I think that if I wasn't on this laptop, I would probably be playing with the echo-y noises. Heh.
