So, in the hectic fray that's been the past few months, I haven't updated my blog much. So a few things.

I'll start with my graduation from middle school. OK, this means that I'm comparatively young in relation to most members still active. But I have to get my feelings about this off my chest.

Before I start on the actual ceremony (which was a few months ago), I'll say exactly why the implications of this are so serious to me. All of my friends from my particular middle school are going to a different high school than I am. Most are going to one that is fairly close to my middle school; I, however, opted to go to one that is about an hour away from my house. This is because I feel it suits my needs better than the other one mentioned.

However, this means that I have to say goodbye to all of my friends. Spending 8-9 years with the same group of people tends to create strong bonds between you and them. Sure, I can always text them/Skype them/meet up with them, but we know that it won't be the same, which breaks my heart.

The ceremony was very emotional, but surprisingly happy. It started with a mass, then the actual ceremony and presentation of awards, and finally a dance. The last part was, by far, the best. Us students got to be ourselves for awhile, and we had the chance to be happy- in my case, with what little time I had left with them. One particular friend gave me a particularly long hug; she texts me constantly. =P

Now about Boston. My family recently took a trip to the city for my brother's college tours- namely MIT, Harvard, and Amherst. I won't dwell on those; rather, I'll talk about the actual city itself.

Boston is very nice- IMO, like Chicago with a bit more "green". It's very cultured, and has a very fresh feel. In addition, they make very good food there, especially pastries. =D

And finally Malaysia. In a few days, we'll be flying there to visit some family (on my mother's side). I sincerely hope I'll be able to keep a travel journal of sorts on my blog here. I'd be posting from my iPhone, but it's better than nothing.

Having been there before, Malaysia is a drastic change from America. It has a very different atmosphere (maybe it's the trees), and it can be significantly hotter. But it's very nice, and I enjoy it every time.

(also a bit too early for Legoland Malaysia D:< )

So that's that. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings. Still working on releasing TM to the world, and I might try to participate in Flash Fire. (Also, the title will likely be capitalized incorrectly. Any help with that would be appreciated.)
