One-way ticket, please

Thu May 29, 2008, 4:46 PM
My last day of classes in high school was on Tuesday.
Today was my last day of finals in high school.
Today was the last time I took off my damned uniform.
Tomorrow is my placement exam for college.
6/7/08 is the day I graduate.

To say that I've been impatiently waiting this sweet-sweet departure is a grandiose understatement.
I'm fucking tired, excited but most importantly, anxious.
I've been told, "You'll miss high school. You'll see." And I disagree.

CORRECTION!
I'll miss high school work,
not high school.

There's a lot of shit I've done in h.s. that I know for certain wouldn't fly in college.

I definitely won't miss the faculty and administration, the ridiculously crowded halls or the over-sized classrooms, the assholes - the jocks, the cattiness - the cheerleaders and of course the egotism that permeates overall. They can all go suck a duck. :kiss:

But I will miss the bus/train rides home with my friend - the only real friend I managed to make here. She's off to Philadelphia in late August. And I'll be here. :(
We'll see how the distance will work out. We've both had bad experiences with friends and distance.
Surprisingly, she's being more pessimistic about us keeping in touch than I am(although deep down, I know better).

We did have a good "suck-it school!" do-da dance, though. :nod:

I was told h.s. would be the best 4 years of my life.
enjoy it.
carpe diem.
and all that crap.
Somebody lied. :unimpressed:

My school was literally a prison. It was established over the very same site they decided to build this school(?) :doh: And they wonder why everyone's nutty. I can't stand the way h.s. made me feel and think.

And as far as I'm concerned, you never really leave.
The "real world" that is waiting for me on the outside is equally bad/even worse than the 4 years you thought you said gooo'bye to. :roll:

People just say that shit because they're scared of growing up.

I'm scared of growing up.
One-way ticket to Neverland, please!

Hmm, yeah- H.S didn't agree with me either. I do enjoy learning things, but h.s. kept me pissed off so much that it just wasn't conducive to learning, for the most part. My teachers were mostly frustrated jocks who wanted to be football coaches and got stuck teaching geography or history or whatever, and they took their frustration out on us students. A wrong answer in geography?: "Get down and give me twenty!!" Happily, it's all a very distant memory now. College was so much better.

I'm thinking that life is probably pretty scary (and awesome) all the way through. But I do create my own bit of Neverland around me, whenever I can...wherever I am.
:iconwingsofic:
I hear ya buddy!!!

You can do it!!!
cheers!

You can mature and age without growing up. Trust me! I'm 53 and still haven't grown up! =D

That doesn't mean that life is easy or a piece of cake. Life is a mixed bag. It always has been and it always will be.

My personal Faith has helped keep my sane along the way. It has been a source of strength for me. But personal is the operative word here. I don't try to cram down the throats of others. After all, keeping my own life on track is a big enough chore for me. I don't have the time to be telling others how to run their lives.

All you can really do is set yourself short-term, mid-range and long-term goals and work towards them one day at a time.

To attempt to quote (from memory) Death, from Terry Pratchett's 'Hogfather', "Humans are fascinating creatures! In the midst of a world full of wonders they have managed to create boredom!!!"

Keep your eyes focussed on the wonders and you will do well! :nod:

I think every h.s. has those rejects - they only settle for the teaching job because of the vacations.
:fingerscrossed: that college is nothing like h.s.
Here's to hoping. =)

I like that quote. It's sadly too true.
I try to take one day at time but I'm always getting disappointed. I'm too hasty. =( Thanks for the words of wisdom,Wayne.:)
