Okay, I finally got in touch with Erin. She's not mad at me. I feel a little silly for thinking she would be.

According to her, graduation was really dull anyway. She told me she's glad I didn't waste my time there, it was sleep-inducing. I doubt it was that bad — she did just graduate high school, after all! That's got to be exciting, even if the ceremony itself was lousy. But I suppose not being there isn't a big deal.

I didn't really want to go anyway, except for her. I was worried I'd bump into somebody from middle school. That would have been awful. I was willing to risk it to support Erin, but I'm glad I didn't have to risk it at all in the end.
