The End is Near
The end of high school feels so final. Sunday is our church's senior breakfast, Monday is the NHS banquet, Tuesday i have all of my projects to turn in, Thursday is senior awards night, Friday is the picture, Saurday is graduation and project grad, and Monday is the last day. The end.
There will never be another chance for me to do it again, I can't say "My GPA wasn't good enough this year, i'll change it next year." Next year isn't high school. Next year is scary.
I never understood when people tell you that you are closing a chapter of your life, it always seemed like it would continue. And it does, i suppose... It will just continue with out my friends, without my family, and with out my home. The end of this chapter, the beginning of another.
I always thought that after school was out i would be so happy, that i would want to go as far away from home as fast as i could... but i don't. I didn't finish my application to Chicago University because it is too far away, i would never get to come home. And i don't want to leave school. Granted, i do not want to me in French or Calculus or School Service anymore... But i want to stay with my friends.
Debate and Fed Challenge are done now, and while i'm still experiencing the hangover my life feels like it is missing something. I still read the Economist and Dismal and every other news source i can get my hands on. I still feel the need to read every speech that the Federal Reserve posts on thier website.
The end of this year is sad...
Very very sad.
On the other hand, I saw Troy yesterday. It is an EXCELLENT movie. Brad Pit is HOT and BUFF and just wonderful. Hellen was not THAT pretty, which was pretty upsetting. The "worst" (maybe) part of the movie was that you KNEW the end. You KNEW that Hector and Achilles would die, you knew about the Trojan horse, your knew that Troy would burn, and you knew that all of the lovers could never be together.
Maybe that just made it better, i don't know. But it was always in the back of my mind.
It was really good.
I would definately recomend that you go see it.
