  <title>Reflections around the Class of 2026</title>
  <link>https://alterin.dreamwidth.org/149720.html</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Today is the senior grad walk at our school. Seniors are going to go through a rehearsal graduation, and then they&amp;rsquo;re going to walk through the halls of all of the buildings. All of our classes are going to be in the hallways cheering them on.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Couple of days ago, graduating students who were in my freshmen class started looking for their &amp;ldquo;freshmen letter&amp;rdquo; which I kind of did, but not really. It was optional, but this was also the last year we did blogs and then was an introduction post, so there are &lt;em&gt;those&lt;/em&gt; words of wisdom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;All around it&amp;rsquo;s just a heightened sense of nostalgia, looking back, and reflection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Typically around this time of year my emotions are in overdrive. I&amp;rsquo;m so very angry all of the time. I don&amp;rsquo;t think I take it out on anyone, but my showers are longer and I&amp;rsquo;m seething with fake conversations in my head with people who have wronged me or people I care about or ideas I care about.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;cut-wrapper&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;span-cuttag___1&quot; class=&quot;cuttag&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-open&quot;&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-text&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://alterin.dreamwidth.org/149720.html#cutid1&quot;&gt;Four things that are pissing me off right now. Read more?&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class=&quot;cut-close&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;display: none;&quot; id=&quot;div-cuttag___1&quot; aria-live=&quot;assertive&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=alterin&amp;ditemid=149720&quot; width=&quot;30&quot; height=&quot;12&quot; alt=&quot;comment count unavailable&quot; style=&quot;vertical-align: middle;&quot;/&gt; comments</description>
