Above is the greatest graduation present ever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
{Well, besides my car of course. Who, as you all have suggested, I have christened Luna. :) }</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pretty much freaked out when I ripped off the paper from the unassumingly rectangular present my aunt and uncle gave me and THIS WAS INSIDE.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was like Christmas when I was eight years old.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Almost as good as the time my brother and I got Lego Hogwarts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strike>Almost.</strike></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nerd for life.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks, nerdy family. I love you guys.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I ran my first 5K.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crazy, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I finished in 34 minutes and 13 seconds, and placed fourth in my age group.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{Though I have a feeling there were only four people in my age group.}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nevertheless...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've made it a goal to start running more this summer, and to actually get good at it. Hopefully I'll be running more 5K's in the future and shaving a couple minutes off my time.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is my baby. My first car! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was under the well-enforced impression that, once the need arose, my mother would buy herself a new car and I would inherit her old one. Which isn't that old and I actually am quite fond of. It was supposedly at the dealership for "detailing" and we would go pick it up after I graduated.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Imagine my surprise when I was handed a key and told that this baby was mine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
ALL MINE.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There were more tears. Even the salesman got weepy.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't thank my wonderful parents enough.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unfortunately, he (she? I'm still not sure) is still in need of a name. Everything I've tried hasn't quite fit. I would love to christen it after one of the heroes from the wonderful world of Harry Potter, but I can't decide. Who could ever decide such a thing?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I've narrowed it down:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{{Luna</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seamus}}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{{Lily</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Albus}}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Two boy names, two girl names. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Help?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
It's official.<br />
<br />
As of May 29, 2012 I, Julia Larsen, am a high school graduate.<br />
<br />
Quite frankly, I don't feel much different. Unless you count the fact that I'm exhausted from crying approximately fifteen separate times yesterday.<br />
<br />
But it's done. It's over.<br />
<br />
I returned to my school this morning as a graduate, not a student. I walked out of the band room for the last time in a long time, said goodbye to my favorite teacher, and bade a fond farewell to the halls I've grown to love over the past three years.<br />
<br />
This is it.<br />
<br />
Now, where do I go from here?<br />
<br />
xoxo Julia<br />

<br />
It's so weird to think that my school won't be <i>my </i>school anymore in just a few short days. I've spent so much time there over the past three years and I must admit that parting with it will be pretty darn hard.<br />
<br />
I wore the same outfit today that I wore on the first day of my senior year. (Minus the belt.) Call me sentimental. Or call me too lazy to come up with new outfits these days.<br />
<br />

I don't think my hair looks so much like Farrah Fawcett's anymore. Which is a good thing?<br />

Insane, meaning:<br />
<br />
~ I picked up my cap and gown yesterday. I can't bring myself to take them out of the packaging yet.<br />
<br />
~ We got yearbooks, too. They're gold shiny and fantastic. And it's my last yearbook at Lone Peak.<br />
<br />
~ I played my senior flute recital yesterday. It was the culmination of everything I've learned from my wonderful teacher, who I have to say goodbye to. It's one of the hardest things yet.<br />
<br />
~ Tomorrow is my last day of high school. Ever.<br />
<br />
Let's just hope I make it through tomorrow.<br />

<br />
There were some mixed feelings. Sadness that it's over, happiness that I got to play with my best friends one last time. But mostly this huge pain in my leg from when I fell off a music stand. (They may look fun to sit on. They are not. Don't try it.)<br />
<br />
My director recognized all of us seniors and gave awards to some of the best. I was lucky enough to receive the John Philip Sousa award, along with my best friend Rachel! What an honor! I was complaining a couple weeks ago about how band kids never get trophies, and now I finally have one. AND it has a man with a mustache on it. Does it get better than that? I don't think so.<br />

<br />
So here's the deal. I'm graduating. In eight days.<br />
<br />
I thought I would be excited. But in all actuality, I'm terrified. My life is going to turn upside down in eight days and there's nothing I can do about it. No going back. Ever.<br />
<br />
Ever.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure why that makes me want to blog so much, but I feel like now is an appropriate time to resurrect good old I Dream of Dresses. Maybe I feel like I should share my wisdom with all you young'uns. Maybe I need an audience to experience all these life changes with me. Maybe I feel the need to document my life as I know it before it slips through my fingers.<br />
<br />
Or maybe I just need therapy.<br />
<br />
Yeah, probably that.<br />
<br />
Anyway, here I am. Poised at the edge of the ending of something old and the start of something new (cue Troy and Gabriella), just waiting to take flight. Or crash and burn. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's the former. But either way, I've got to take the leap. Hopefully you'll stay beside me as I do.<br />
<br />

i have a thing for coats. red ones, fur ones, ruffled ones. this winter proved too short for much coat-wearing, especially in the snow. {which is my favorite. red coat + white snow = perfection.} it feels like spring outside, but i feel cheated out of coat-wearing weather! so here are a few pretty coats i rounded up to pine over. enjoy. </div>

after i woke her up, the puppy grudgingly relented to posing for a few pictures. she eventually gave up and curled back into a teeny weeny ball. and thus, this picture was born.<br />
<br />
doesn't that face just say "love me?"<br />
<br />
good thing we do. she's a bedhog. but a cute one.<br />

the beginning of a chick flick romance: boy meets girl on a park bench in the city where dreams are made of. he reads the times, she reads poetry. they exchange a glance. he notices her hazel eyes. she notices him noticing her and asks if he's ever read e.e. cummings. she smiles. her eyes seem to promise him a world beyond black and white, the joy found by reading between the lines. he smiles.<br />

i recently discovered the joy that is cake mix cookies. not only are they super delicious and super fast, they are super easy. which is perfect for a less than mediocre baker like me.<br />
<br />
easy peasy recipe:<br />
<br />
1 box of cake mix of your choice. i've used red velvet and funfetti, but any flavor will do.<br />
1/3 cup of vegetable oil.<br />
2 eggs.<br />
<br />
mix it all together. duh.<br />
bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees.<br />
<br />
voila!<br />

<br />
harry + ginny = <3.<br />
<br />
here's my take on harry and ginny. i'm pretty sure harry has a different face every time i draw him. :P so does ginny. so does everyone! except maybe lucius malfoy. he seems to remain uniformly haughty and <strike>handsome</strike> disdainful.<br />

i play with the <a href="http://american-heritage.org/Music/Orchestra">lyceum philharmonic orchestra</a>, which has given me so many opportunities to play with fabulous brilliant artists {peter brienholt, alex boye, and david archuleta to name a few} and now we have the chance to appear in a music video with the fabulous steven sharp nelson! </div>

we got to record our audio at a professional recording studio, which, despite playing the same song for about five hours straight, was one of the most fun things i've ever gotten to do. then of course we filmed our gorgeous faces, which took another <strike>seventeen</strike> i don't know how many hours. but it was so worth it.</div>

{{my director: it's open string, you idiots!</div>

my current harry potter obsession may lead to continued posts about harry potter and drawings of harry potter, etc etc etc.<br />
<br />
and by "i apologize" i mean "you're welcome.<br />
<br />
