I gradded. Kind of.

No, there's nothing wrong with my graduation (in fact, I could have gradded last semester), but there's still a month to go in school.

Nothing too special happened. I got $1000 in the form of a bursary, but that's all that really happened to me. A good friend of mine got a whole bunch of academic awards, and while I'm a bit jealous, I know he deserves it a lot more than I do. Besides, I can rest easy knowing I beat him on the Euclid math contest anyway. Our grad class is probably one of the most talented classes I've seen, anyway.

Oh, and I'm getting my grad gift soon. I wish I could say it was something as expensive as a car (I know some people do), but we're also going to the Philippines this summer, so we've got a lot of costs to pay as well. I wanted a semiacoustic guitar (or, as I like to call it, a "hybrid" guitar), but even that was a bit too expensive ($700, I think). For a while, I've been mulling over the decision to ask for either a video iPod or a digital camera. Both would be very useful to me in the next while, but in the end, I think I'm getting an iPod, because I'd use that a lot more. Besides, cameras can be cheaper, and I've got a bit of grad money I can put towards it.

So, I'm getting a video iPod. Score.

Oh, and prom tomorrow. Double score. But do you know what the best part is? After a late night, (as in, past 1 AM) I've got a chess tourney at 8:30 Saturday morning. Anyone representing the school is either going to prom or a LAN party the night before. Oh well. I'm used to not having enough sleep.
