Sooo it officially done. I have the diploma in my hand. No more Coventry High School. No more rushing on 117, fighitng construction to get my coffee, hurry to meet the crew in the "wibwrary" to get a "wibwrary pass", and the running into Homeroom at the bell to meet up with TJ and Fuge (and sometimes Derek) to get my daily tourture about my guy of the week...no more ryhmes with Meditation with Fuge, trading homework with Guisti, no more of ms claphams wackey outfits and hair colors...no more lunches with the crew, selling tickets for the next event, no more gruelling meeting after school on Tuesdays in room 105. No more worrying about getting up after staying up all night doing projects with my friends (well...there will prob be some for me in VT). No more gym classes, no more chillin in the gym vault w/ Matt and Daley in the hammocks (well Aull took away the keys...), no more spirit weeks, no more proms. But through all of these "no mores", i will still have so many fond memories of my high schools years. So im gonna do a quick summary.
Freshman year: first year in public school-scared out of my mind. Where did the respect for other people go? No more religion class (my fav) and no more church on Friday...most importantly-no more Uniforms, which I grew to miss bc i hate getting dressed in the AM. My first friend was Brandon Martin. I was depressed alot this year because I didnt have a lot of friends at CHS, they were all at other places. I made my little group, and that was enough for me. Hockey became my life. Played Panthers U15 A and B teams, made Yankee Conference, and over the summer got to go to the New England District Camp at UVM.
Soph Year: made tons of friends, had an awesome Team that year. Played on the Varsity and JV boys team where i got to be the only girl, plus I made Team RI Select and the Panthers U15 and U19 (even though i was 15, i got to play with the "big girls" haha). 5 teams , plus coaching the instructional= eat, sleep, school, hockey...no social life at allllll. The only day i had off from hockey was Christmas and New Years Day...from October to April-it was NUTS. Brad was the boyfriend of that year...he gets the award
Junior Year: startred off the year with John Salisbury-dont really know...lol. Went through some hard times, got my license Nov. 2nd,hockey started up again, broke up with John cause we would never see each other and all that stuff, made Yankee Conference, that was held the same weekend as Jr Prom-luckly the YC was at Brown in RI, not another state. Jr Prom with my best friend Evan Sivo-went to VT for a hockey tourny over April Vacation-got hit during a shootout by some lady that couldt stop apparently-nite in teh hospital...neck sprain-which never healed correctly. I met a new and awesome group of friends this year...my life started to change dramatically. I met Matt in April via Ryan, thus started a relationship. That summer, while playing in the boys hockey league i got crunched-taken to the hospital in an Ambulance-while a bunch of ppl at the rink that i know saw me wheeled off-i told them not to take me, but i couldt move my neck...needless to say, at the hospital until 4am on a friday..psychos out, matt stayed by my side the whole time- i realized how much i really did love him. good summer
Senior Year: the best year overall...had a car, football games as usual, tinkerbell in homecoming parade, still with matt until January-the legendary BEAUTIFUL diamond necklace that he gave me for christmas hahah ooo the controversy. Just an amazing year alll together.
Its done
Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Another turning point a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable
But in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
Graduation song....
And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25
I keep thinking times will never change
Keep on thinking things will always be the same
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back
No more hanging out cause we're on a different track
And if you got something that you need to say
You better say it right now cause you don't have another day
Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down
These memories are playing like a film without sound
And I keep thinking of the night in June
I Didn't know much of love, but it came too soon
And There was me and you, and then it got real blue
Stay at home talkin' on the telephone and
We would get so excited, we'd get so scared
Laughing at our selves thinking life's not fair
And this is how it feels
Chorus:
As we go on, we remember
All the times we had together
And as our lives change, from whatever
We will still be, friends forever
So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money
When we look back now, will that joke still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school?
Still be trying to break every single rule
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
And this is how it feels
*Repeat chorus*
La, la, la, la; yeah, yeah, yeah
La, la, la, la, we will still be friends forever
Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there? Can we make it somehow?
I guess I thought that this would never end
And suddenly it's like we're women and men
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round?
Will these memories fade when I leave this town
I keep, I keep thinking that it's not goodbye
Keep on thinking it's a time to fly
