Two and a half weeks have almost passed since I graduated and looking back, it actually makes me sad. Here I am, a high school graduate with a cold and jetlag, packing up all my graduation gifts and looking at pictures from my big day. I want to go back to that day because it was one of the greatest days of my life and realising that it is over, is making me cry. I have not understood that I have graduated, that I am done with high school - done with the IB. Such great achievements but yet I cannot seem to process it.

I graduated two days ago and it still has not sunk in. High school is over, finished, finito. I pulled through it and I actually made it. It was one of the happiest days of my life and I am a little bit sad over the fact that it was over with so quickly. The day after (yesterday that is), I was on a plan to Taipei and now here I am. Have not slept for over 24 hours, so I am already in bed although it is only half past eight but I just started another episode of True Blood so it will be another hour before I will go to sleep.

I am graduating tomorrow. Tomorrow! I have not got any real sleep all week, so I am exhausted and stressed at the same time. I am truly longing for tomorrow because it means that high school is really over and it is going to be a lot of fun! It all starts with a Champagne breakfast in the park by our school, then we will have a final good bye with our mentor before the principal will speak in our auditorium (boring). To finally end it all, we will be lining up and then running out to all our beloved ones standing in the yard waiting for us. We are around 700 students graduating so it is going to be chaos I believe, altough I do not mind - it is our graduation after all!

Today I went to turn in my VISA application for my trip to China this summer. It did not go as planned and my mood quickly turned sour! To begin with I got off the bus way to early, so I had to wait for the next one (stupid SL) and then I passed the embassy I was heading to but problem was that the bus kept going for a really long time after that. I had to walk back to the embassy, just to be informed that their VISA Application Service Centre was moved to a different location. By now I was truly pissed but I decided to keep on going until I would be able to turn in my VISA application. I got on a bus, I walked a couple of hundred meters and then I found the building. It was HUGE and it seemed impossible to find the right way but once I did, it all went smoothly. My mood did not really recover though, I am still somewhat moody.

I cannot believe that I am finished with my finals exams. No more internal assessments, no more exams and no more pressure. Our graduation lunch was held yesterday and it was lovely but I still could not wrap my head around the fact that I am done now. It is a scary feeling. What is even more scary is the fact that I got chosen to be the valedictorian for the graduating class of 2011! I am truly proud and my speech is almost finished but it is still somewhat scary. It is supposed to be held tomorrow at our Award Ceremony and afterward we (my family and I) will celebrate by going out to dinner. After dinner me and my sister will go out to take a drink too, because this is truly worth celebrating!

Nine of my exams are now over with and I only have two left. Awesome, right? Would be, if I had not become sick with a fever and a bad cold. So now I have to study whilst I just want to go back to bed and sleep all day. So yes, I feel like shit. But it is only wednesday, so hopefully I will get better before my exams on monday. Tonight it's my aunt's birthday, so I'm going to rest a lot and study (of course) so that I feel well enough to celebrate her tonight.

My first two final exams are today. I am scared but excited! I have been listening to "The best" with Tina Turner for almost an hour to get myself psyched enough even though it is snowing outside. It feels truly terrifying that the end begins today, but at the same time I feel ready. I feel ready to kick some IB-ass! It is a really weird feeling. My sister told me to write everything I felt down before the exam but I do not really know what I feel, it is a mixture of being afraid and being truly happy and excited. Basically, I am nervous. Wish me luck!
