serindranaI have officially graduated! :)
With the top departmental award in English, no less~
AND I have accomplished one of my life goals.
Background: I saw my fifth grade teacher again for the first time in years recently. She's now teaching at a middle school. She asked to see some of my current writing, since she obviously hasn't seen any since I was 10, and I sent her Fogbound (which I still need to post up. Ahem.)
Here's where the fulfilment of a dream comes in:
She worked it into a lesson plan for her class.
My writing has been taught in a class.
She wrote back to tell me that it had gone over a lot of their heads (no surprise), but still! :DDD
Okay, so, I have two graduation presents (the one or two from the rest of my family are coming in a few weekends at the official party:
iPod nano (I needed a new one, though I sort of would've preferred the normal size >.>; )
Steampunk necklace
The necklace is awesome! It's built around an old optometrist's test lens, and get this: IT IS PRETTY MUCH my EXACT PRESCRIPTION. Obviously meant for me, hur-hur.
In other news: Persona 3 is cracked out awesomeness. I just finished up the second block of Tartarus, and I still have about a week in-game until the next section opens up :)

You know I'll be in NYC on my birthday if I do come to visit, right? XD
