She asked to hold my hand, I said I didn't care...
Tomorrow is the last day I will have class. I have one final next week, but that's it. I hope Ms. Barnard doesn't cry. If she does I think I might spring a leak too. She started out the year as just a sweet lady that happened to be my teacher. Two semesters later, I can honestly say that woman has had a profound impact upon me, and I dread her removal from my everyday life. I learned more english from Ms. Price, but I recieve such positive energy from Ms. B. Specifically at a time in my life when depression is the state of affairs more often than not. Though I think I've overcome my troubles somewhat, I don't know that I could've come out the otherside if it wasn't for 6th period everyday. She even knows when I just need to be left alone. I want to take her with me to Trinity. Just to ramble on about nothing at all occasionally. I'm gonna miss Hankins a lot too. What a good guy he is. I love that man too. He is too terribly funny, and what other teacher would let you take off points from someone's paper for "depleting the pool" because the guy has a good looking girl? There isn't one. There will never be another man like Mr. Hankins. I think it would be unfair to say that there is a teacher that is more honest and fights harder for his students, or a teacher that cares more for them. He is in this profession for all the right reasons: he loves physics, he loves to learn, and he loves his students. What a guy.... I will not miss Kinnan much, in all honesty. He is a nice man, outside of baseball, but its really hard following ridiculous orders from an arrogant fool who's IQ is easily half mine. I have a lot of respect for the effort he puts into getting people opportunities to play on the college level. I opted to shy away from his help though. I knew he had fucked things up for people in the past. So I took it upon myself to recruit colleges, and I think I did a fine job. I had three Division III coaches salivating at the opportunity to have me come play for them. I picked the one that probably needs me the least, but I picked Trinity because I feel I can improve myself there. I'm getting off track...I'm going to miss no one in the administration. Good riddance to them all. They didn't all screw me over, but they screwed over people I'm friends with for no reason other than spite. I'm going to miss my friends most of all. I'm so terrible at making new friends, I'm struggling to maintain a positive outlook for next year. My biggest piece of reinforcement is being twenty minutes from "Crockett High School @ San Marcos" aka South West Texas State University. All the guys I hang out with are going there next year. I think I'll probably work out car pooling with Arturo to the LCD shows next year, since he's going to be at UTSA (at least that's what I was told). There is going to be some amazing shows going down with AAC and LCD at Lyndon's (on a tangent I'm so psyched about the 31st). Anyway, to all of you that read this that are my friends...thank you for the memories and good times. I don't know where I'd be without you.
