it feel so good to be done. wow. i mean, ok, unlike most of you i still have a project to finish (that damn slideshow) and my speech to get down pat, but still school is done.
i actually found myself kinda upset leaving today. those stupid yellow tiles didnt really look that ugly, and as corny as it is, i really wanted to stop and take a picture of the drama room since i have spent so much time there (50.9 24-hour days of my life). i mean, it was really really bittersweet. and a little more bitter than i had hoped/expected. i think it may have been choir that made me realize how over it is when the juniors started crying. didnt expect expressions to be so tough...
and in antoher weird way it felt so much like 8th grade graduation today. that feeling of "wow, im leaving the comfort of this place for something totally and completey new and im not really sure im ready to go yet" (mayb thats because i went to visit good ol' HCS today which was fun).
God must be watchin out for me since i dont have to work until june 4th at the earliest (sorry dana). i told them i could work starting next wednesday but they didnt schedule me for next week at all so my only conflict with grad parties will be ragtime. thats a godsend.
hello summer,
hello ragtime
hello theatre
hello my first ever soloist-lead-in-a-musical
hello world of work
hello summer friends craziness
hello all the "last time we will ever _________"'s
hello nice weather
hello "the beginning of keeping friendships alive despite living apart"
hello tears
goodbye aprils, februarys, octobers and septembers in Champaign
goodbye Centennial homecoming week, prom, concerts, shows, homework, classes, events
goodbye easiness of talking to someone since they sit right next to you every day in class
goodbye high school and life as we know it.
bring it on.
