Lots of ambivalence about graduation!

We still have a month of school but with AP tests done, spring sport ending and the fraught college process mercifully behind us, we can all relax!

It all ended very abruptly for us here ā¦ prom, then graduation and suddenly all over. D22 now looking for a job, albeit late to the game, but she just couldnāt wrap her head around it while juggling school work, 4 AP exams, and senior festivities. It sort of feels like there was all this stress and excitement for her, now nothing. But we have a lot to do to get ready for college so thereās no shortage of things to do. But the realization that thereās no school left here for her to go to ā itās a shock to the system.

All the Best! We have two more weeks of school left - with exams and projects before graduation. I agree , after a frenetic school year , it will take some time to adjust to new routine and next phase .

We are in the home stretch here. This is the last week of ārealā school. Prom was last weekend and next week is senior week (fun activities) followed by graduation on June 6. S22 decided to stick with UMASS Amherst after being admitted to Pitt off the WL (and flying out for a visit). He seems happy with his decision. He doesnāt have a summer job line up yet, but we arenāt pushing - heading to Italy for a couple of weeks at the end of June to celebrate. Congratulations to everyone whose child has graduated and best of luck next year!

Graduation is Sunday, and it feels really surreal that my youngest is graduating.

My D still has an exam and an oral āexamā and local school decisions to come out over the next month. Last day of school in a couple of weeks. There is no graduation here and there usually is no prom. This year they are holding a āprom,ā but that is really just a dance party at the school and only girls 
.
Iām not very sad about this.

We had a few covid cases after the school prom, but very manageable
My daughter did not get it
Graduation is June 10
I wasnāt concerned about Covid, because she actually had it less than 6 months ago. I was just glad she didnāt have to shoehorn in anymore end of year things, or worry or pay for them!
What she does need, is sleep.
