There are some types of people I will never understand. The type who would actually want to prevent that is one of them.

Hey, focusing back on the original topic... have a nice chat with the administration yet?

School hasn't even started yet. I'm still enjoying summer vacation. I figure that I'll keep the information bookmarked until I hear the announcement that they're going to have a prayer this year.

On the bright side, though, I only have to go to school in the mornings.

They can withhold the diploma, but not indefiitely. The best my school could do was hold it for 10 days. Big fucking deal. The important part is that you have enough credits to graduate, and they can't take that away no matter how badly you behave at the ceremony.

For the record, I hated my graduation ceremony from beginning to end, but I went because my family wanted to see me wear the stupid hat. All I got out of it was watching other people walk up to get their fake diplomas, and then only because I was thinking, "Never going to see that asshole again. Or that one. Definitely not that dipshit. Or him. Or her. Oh him--that shithead will be in jail this time next year." Et cetera.

By the time I was on stage getting my fake diploma, I was so fucking tired I couldn't even muster up enough disgust and cynicism for that, Red. Congrats on having better stamina.
