So, as I mentioned in a journal, I graduated today. Actually, just got out of the ceremony a couple hours ago. I'm officially a high school graduate now! Woo! Now people won't automatically assume I'm under 18 whenever I bring up high school.

But uh... yeah. Saw it as an excuse to make a drawing of rabbit Dakota, and to have a mark of when this happened somewhere in my gallery.

As a whole, the ceremony went well. I tend to act a bit more extravagant socially to try and come off as "fun," so I was far more energetic the whole time than my sona may lead you to believe. I actually accidentally went far too into that sort of persona, to the point where I almost just ran right past the person going to hand me their diploma... So that's a bit embarrassing, but oh well.

What I'll do from here? God, I don't fucking know and that terrifies me. But hey, it's a chapter of my life I'm *glad* to have completed. I don't need to deal with the bullshit from the unfortunately large amount of homophobes in my class.

I will say, I made a few good friends in it all who I'm definitely on good terms with, and I hope for the best for all of them.

Sorry for the rant, but I felt it necessary to at least TALK about this a bit since it's... kinda a big occasion for me. Thanks for reading.

Edit: Oh actually wanted to mention- I was ORIGINALLY planning to draw my own graduation outfit for this, but I realized that someone could potentially use that info to narrow down where I live, so... Yeah. This is just kinda a generic grad outfit.
