This morning I slept in and then read a bit of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child before taking a shower. Then I ate lunch and around 1:30PM my mom and I went to the church for a wedding. After six years of dating, my fifth grade teacher friend and her para boyfriend finally tied the note. It was a Catholic wedding, there was a lot of singing, and up and down, but it was a nice ceremony. The groom's side of the church was definitely more heavy on the Catholics because most of the singing was coming from that side.

After the ceremony several of us went across town to a restaurant/bar across the street from where the reception was being held on campus because we had a couple hours to kill. And after that couple of hours, we drove across the street, parked in the parking garage, and then went to the ballroom in the student union for the reception. It took a really long time for the bride and groom to show up but they eventually did and dinner was eventually served. Or rather, the lids were taken off the buffet and we served ourselves. They had a cooked mixed vegetable thing that reminded me a lot of the honor society buffet. When most people were done eating it was time for the speeches. They were all nice but the best was the groom's speech. He totally went for it, at one point saying he was never going to win an Academy Award so this was his moment. Overall the speech was pretty great. I imagine at least one person was recording it so my fingers are crossed it ends up online at some point.

Weddings are really not my thing because they are long and boring, but I am glad that the two of them are happy and finally married. It was also a chance to see all my former coworkers so that was nice. I'm going to miss working at the school but I don't think it will really hit me until school starts in a couple of weeks and I don't go back. Right now the library kind of just feels like a summer job but it will feel real soon enough.

Tonight I did laundry and adjusted my skateboard. I took off the riser pads so it is lower to the ground and I tightened up the trucks a bit more so it is a little more stable. I also played around with my stance a little and I think I feel more comfortable goofy footed. Based on all the examples people use for figuring out which way to stand I am not goofy footed but when I actually stand on the board I seem to do better that way. I don't know, I'm going to keep playing around. After the adjustments I made I did feel much more comfortable on the board than I did yesterday, so that's a good sign. Progress.

Tonight I played a little bit of You Must Build A Boat, which is the sequel to 10,000,000. They are both simple matching games but I like them. I have beat 10,000,000 twice and have wanted to play You Must Build A Boat for quite a while. Not too long ago I picked it up in a game bundle and tonight was the first time I actually got to play it. I was not disappointed. It's basically the same as the first game with a little more depth to it. I also played a little bit of Crashlands because I haven't played that in forever. I have no idea what I was doing when I last played the game and wasn't too interested on finishing a quest when I'm out of practice fighting, so I just wandered around and collected resources. Tomorrow I would like to jump into some GTA5 because they recently released all the new races and in all the videos I've seen they look like a lot of fun, even though the camera angle gets messed up sometimes.

Tomorrow I also want to read more of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child and I should probably grade some of the survey responses for the assessment project. Tomorrow night we are eating at the Chinese buffet to celebrate my graduation. My mom and sister kind of made up yesterday via text so that should make things less awkward. Hopefully. My sister is also going to make me a funfetti cake, which I am pretty excited about. But now I must sleep so the new day can begin.
