Relief
The wonderful thing about liking lots of different activities is that when you do one for a very long time, switching to another makes the new one incredibly satisfying. I haven't written much in awhile, and I just finished writing a graduation speech. I'm not sure that it's very good, for I don't really know what a graduation speech is supposed to say, but it has a tone that I really like. It certainly won't top Kyle Stoneman's graduation speech three years ago that talked exclusively about the conjuction "but," but (ah, haha, I'm in a witty mood) however it is, it is certainly rife with what some would call "Adamness". I talk about my favorite English teacher, social welfare functions, masochism, German, and there is even a quaint little call-to-action at the end. It risks being a shade cliche, but the very notion of a graduation speech is inescapably cliche.
