I didn't go to graduation or prom because they coincided with the beginning of my trip. I probably wouldn't have gone to prom anyway. I probably wouldn't have gone to my graduation anyway. I remember going to the prom 'show-off' in the parking lot of FDU in years past and standing amongst the unadorned hoard, gazing over the fence set up between us and that year's partygoers. How bizarre. I remember being told that Z- went to graduation (outside) barefoot. My good friend H- was valedictorian; well did she deserve it. I kind of wish I had been within the top one or two of my class, but alas, 5.
