I'm almost there.

Got some heavy leather steel toed boots, my flak vest, some leather fingerless gloves, and a sweet leather jacket plus a helmet.

Good job on your graduation I'm gonna be a senior next year cant wait to get outa school and into life

Don't believe what they say about your last year, it goes by really quick. Seems like it only started not too long ago and now its over.

As far as the results of driving my motorcycle to grad practice then to the Halo Party afterwards, well, my bike wasn't running quite as good as it should, but by the time it showed signs of that, I was already over halfway to school, so I figured screw it, I'm making it to school on my bike, my fiend Tom would be able to fix it.

Turns out he got it fixed up enough to be able to take it reliably to the Halo party, but it wasn't starting good at all, so that kinda killed a bit of the awesomeness of riding my bike to school. Anyways, we got there and got my bike fixed up and polished the chrome and got it running and looking pretty awesome.

So My bro is there later, and when it gets time to leave, I knew he waasn't gonna ride with me, so my mom leaves home to pick him up and I head off with my friend Tom on our bikes into the small village of Custer, we drop off some things we borrowed, and then ead our seperate ways home.

I make it home esafe and fine, but I see my mom standing outside the van and I knew that was a bad sign. Turns out she was expecting to see me home before her and was just about ready to head out looking for me, thinking that something went wrong because she didn't see me on her way to the party.

Turns out, in that short time I was dropping off the stuff, she must've passed by without seeing me.

So now I'm grounded, understandably, considering I have no license or insurance on my bike, but eh, I'm not mad. It was a stupid thing to do, though I did take precautions, but I can't argue with the punishment.

how did you get grounded? that sucks.. how long are you grounded?

Well, my parents didn't want me to do this, so I'm grounded. As for how long, I really don't know.

hmmm..... well you'll get ungrounded eventually.. (I hope)

Eh, I'm still on my computer, my parents just aren't very strict with punishment like that, fortunately.

Its not like they were mad at me, my dad understood why I did it, they were just worried, as if something did go wrong, I could be in a world of trouble legally, and add to that the fact that I drove my bike home when it was starting to get dark, and I got some pretty high risks going on, especially since this area I live in is heavily populated with deer.

Deer + Motorcycle = Bad. My dad can attest to that.

Fortunately, I knew all the risks of what I was doing, so I was very cautious, and I didn't try to show off or do something else stupid like that, and, ever prepared, I did have some supplies with me that would be helpful in the event of an accident.

I knew my limits and didn't pass them.

Do your parents know this part of the story? Being this cautious shouldn't be a reason to ground you...

I don't know. They probably do know something about it, but it doesn't really change the fact that something really bad could have still easily happened. Being prepared helps, but it can't protect you from everything.

That sucks.

I agree with that post UP.......

I had 2 awards during my GCSE ceremony thing (I suppose it the nearest I got to a graduation), but I don't know if they are common across the country or just from my school. They were for physics and for getting 9+ a/a* grades. It was all a let down really, because they came with book tokens (£25 to be exact), and to add insult to injury; I went and lost them.

Ignorance is good too

If nobody notice or don't say a word about it, it's always better to forget about it, lol

He left put the part where he had to push the bike trough town to get to the kickball game while me and another guy were in a car. Quite funny seeing him push that motorcycle accross a street.

good grief.... why did he have to push his motorcycle?

Lol, was it a long way ?

that's what I want to know too! if it was, that'd suck real bad!

NO, it was across the street...

Anyways, as embarrassing as that might have been ,we ended up getting my bike fixed up good, so it was all worth it.

Oh yeah, ad I am now officially graduated too.

okay.... i'm sorry to hear that you had to push it across the street. congratulations on your graduation.

Beh, it was just wounding to my pride, I'll live.

Thanks, by the way.

no problem man... I'm glad to be out of school.....

Yeah, same here. Still, even during graduation I felt like I was an observer, not part of it. Was really weird.

But it is over now and I'm happy. I graduated with honours too (3.0+ Grade Point Average), which his awesome.

cool! that's awesome! congrats to you on that! I felt that way to at my graduation. but I am happy to be out also.
