On Wednesday June 4th, 2008, I graduated from Olympus High School. The ceremony was held at the Huntsman Center. It was a bizarre feeling. I didn't quite feel like I was that old and it never really set in until the final "throwing of the caps." Once it had set in, it was like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. I finally graduated and no one can take that away from me!
After the ceremony, there was a big after party at the school that went from 10 p.m. to 3 a.m. It was crazy! They locked all the graduates inside the building, but there was a ton of stuff to do. One teacher was hosting his own Deal or No Deal game show with a potential cash prize of $150. There was glow-in-the-dark mini golf, a mechanical bull, board games, video games, tons of food, inflatable playground sets, dodgeball tournaments, and a magician. At about 2 a.m. there was a big auction and raffle for tons of prizes, including Gold's Gym memberships, plane tickets, iPods, movie packages, car washes, balloons filled with cash, and the coveted Vespa. (As you went to certain events throughout the building, you would receive play money which was used to bid for items in the auction.)
