Formal & Graduation: Late Post

18th November, Tuesday 2014: Formal Day

I remember on this day, I was in a big rush to get everything organized. It was even harder to be prepared because my mum and dad came up to Brisbane for the week to watch their eldest daughter dress up formally and graduate. I remember getting my nails done by my Aunty. To be honest, I had so much time but for some reason I felt rushed.. Maybe because I tried not to make it all about me and wanted to spend more time with my parents since they were only here for a week. Even so, all the year 12's did not show up to school because, well..they needed to get ready :D I headed over to my parents house, only to find out that they went to go eat lunch at Sunnybank without me T^T.. So I waited about 10-15 minutes that day? While I was waiting, I remembered that I was stressed out because my friends and I didn't have a ride to the formal after party. At first we did, but Mikayla (my main white bae) had gotten into a heated conversation with her mum and I guess she couldn't take us because of that reason. So I remembered texting all these people I knew that could drive us but all didn't want to because of how far it was. (It was all the way in Ipswich). Eventually, it concluded to me having to ask my best friend, Aiden. I knew he didn't like giving late night rides but I thought "Might as well give it a shot" Surprisingly, he agreed to take us and I thank him a bunch for that favour. When my parents and sister, plus her boyfriend got home, I just chilled with the old farts til around 2:30. It was actually quite nice to bond with mum again and especially when I was told so many stories about my dad. When 2:30 pm rolled by, I was putting on my make-up. (Yes I did my own make up. Saved so much money and I admit I'm good at applying make-up so why not?) I was sitting on the floor, in front of my mums big closet mirror and behind me, I got glimpse of my parents taking photos together and took silly videos together. My mum was being so childish and my dad was "trying" to be mature but he couldn't hold in his laugh. They act like two teenagers to be honest and I almost teared up by seeing how happy they were, after never talking to each other since I was 3. Anyway, I even did my own hair and I actually needed help getting into my dress. It was a perfect fit but the bust was quite tight, only because I was wearin a bra. I wasn't meant to but I felt more comfortable wearing one. My sister and my mum had to help me and I literally thought that my formal was ruined because the zip wouldn't move up any further but we managed (phew). I had a tiara in my hair so I guess I looked like a simple, yet elegant princess. We drove to Oxley where one of the girl's in Lily's group was holding the Pre-Formal photos. My family was so awkward to be honest but my dad was embarrassing, yet I found it funny cause he was just being him. We took a couple of photos and then Lily's dad took us to The Greek Club. We got lost for a few minutes but we found our way there. Walking in and seeing so many people who looked absolutely gorgeous and handsome in their formal suits and dressed. It was unexpected and I could barely recognize people cause they looked so different. Not going into detail but I guess the food was okay, It could have been better. I danced in my dress better than I thought. We took photos and danced so much. My feet were killing me and at the last dance, I just took my heels off because I was just done. After the last dance, everyone was just excited for the after party. We got back to Mikaylas and Aiden was waiting for us and it was so funny because Aiden went the wrong way so we had to go back and start from Oxley. We stopped to get maccas and didn't get to the after party til like 1 am. Aiden decided to stay and honestly, I didn't like the party because everyone was being so stingy with the drinks and everyone was all over the place. KD entertainment once again, disappointed because they left at 3 am. I told the person who was holding the after party to hire someone else because I KNEW they would so something to disappoint. All in all, it was still good. I went out the next day without any sleep lol.

21st November 2014; Graduation

Graduation day was a hot day. Nothing exciting to be honest. Just sat in the hot old hall and listened to speeches. Many people cried. I only cried a bit. I didn't cry as much as I thought I would but the reason is that maybe because I wasn't there long enough and I felt as if I was going to see everyone more because of parties. I only missed crew. Oh there were confetti! It was awesome haha Scared the shit out of me cause I was sitting right in front of one. After graduation, people headed off to schoolies and I regret not going myself. I was meant to one day but that day happened to storm like a motherfucker. So didn't end up going AT ALL. Which was so sad because everyone expected me there. FML thinking about it makes me sad lol. But I went to heaps of parties and gatherings with people and hung out with my age group more. I saw that I missed out a lot. It's actually fun hanging with good people and good drinks. Positive vibes all around.

I guess that's all. There wasn't much to talk about Graduation but formal was awesome :) Wish I could relive everything again. Just because :P
