No Longer a Student

So I haven't written much in a while, but I don't care much either. Today I finished school. It's an odd feeling. I think the main thing is that I realise that there are so many people that I see every day, talk to often, or occassionally, and only now that I am faced with the possibility of not seeing them for long whiles, I realise that they were awesome and I'll miss them being a part of my daily life.

And it's not even a case of "I'll miss them all, but especially" because there are so many 'especiallies', all for their own reasons - the funny people, the clever people (ok that's quite a few people). People I wish I had gotten to know better, people I hope I'll still see, and so on. I think it affirms two things for me:

a) I'm glad I went to the school I went to (does not need to be named here)

b) I should always make sure that I make the most of my time with people, talking to them, and getting to know people.

I haven't cried, and don't think I will. I just have some sort of odd mixture of nostalgia and sadness and memories and faces, and I don't know if there's a word in the English language that articulates it all for me yet.

So if you're one of those people, then thanks.

Whew, ok, done *wipes oddly shiny eyes*.

That was cute. I'm pretty much the same I think, only it wasn't until the last few days that I realised I actually like my school.

God dammit not "cute". I'm not a frigging puppy dog. And 'aha!' It seems even your school of evil grew on you, though probably more because of pupils than atmosphere? Anyway.

ah, so that thing I read in a magazine saying boys hate being called cute was right then. The atmosphere was actually something to be missed over the last few days.

a rope ends it

NOOOOOOOOOO ANONYMOUS! A rope is by no means the best solution. Connecting with other people is a much, much, more rewarding and beautiful option.
