It's Over...

Today was a mixed feelings sort of day. It was my last day of high school, and my last day of grade school...ever. I was sad to leave the place that I've called home for the last four years. We sang around the lion (a big deal tradition in Leon Chorus) for the last time today in Caps and Melos. I cried. I hugged. A lot. Everytime I stopped crying, someone else would come up to give me a hug and I would start again. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm excited to be done with high school, I'm excited to start college, and I'm definitely excited that it's summer, but when you're that involved with a department, you can't help to be sad about leaving it. Not to mention the fact that some of my best friends are moving away. I don't even want to think about that yet, we still have the chorus banquet and dance tomorrow night and graduation next week. There's still time.

So, it's the beginning of the end, well, actually, it's kind of the middle of the end. We had senior awards night at school on Tuesday and the senior banquet at church tonight. Tomorrow is the chorus banquet and dance and Sunday is the senior baccalaureate, then next week is graduation rehersal and the senior brunch, and then finally, graduation. I really can't believe that I'm done with high school. It's all so surreal right now. I could swear that last week I was a freshman. Oh, it goes by so fast, and yet so slow all at the same time. To all you people with high school years yet to come: Treasure your moments in high school and make lots of memories. That's my bit of wisdom for the day.
