I Give It A Ten

I just had my graduation party this past Saturday. I was actually pleasantly surprised at the amount of people that showed up. My mom and dad rented me this great hall, that is air conditioned which went over really well, because my father says Italian's don't like to sweat and he would know. Everyone thought it was a great party and they loved the food. Friends that came said they had never seen Italian food at a graduation party before. I live in a town where everyone is all about fried chicken and potato salad. Which is fine but I must say I prefer pasta. The hall was beautiful it had 4 giant chandeliers, archways, and Roman inspired columns. Plus, like I said, it was air conditioned. My mom and I did center pieces for 18 tables and they were really cool. We poured sea glass and clear marbles over tuel and put candles in the center. By the end of the night the little kids were building towers out of them. My mom actually bought so much stuff the lady at the check out line at the store thought I was getting married. Not hardly! Mom said when I do it's going to be ridiculous. I know it seems like I'm spoiled but I didn't ask for any of this, my parents just did it. They told me I was worth it because I am the first one in my family to go to college and because they are very proud of me. My mom gave a great speech and cried. I felt like I had just won the Nobel Peace Prize and all I did was graduate from high school. My parents are awesome (most of the time). I got a ton of cards and ended up banking quite a bit of money. The money is great, I'm not going to lie, but I was really happy that people showed up. I told my mom that I couldn't believe all these people liked me but she busted my bubble by saying she threated them bodily harm if they didn't show up. Just let me have my delusions for goddsakes! Every single one of the 18 tables was full and they each sat six, so because of that and the fact my mom was kidding about that whole bodily harm thing, I deem the party a success.
