Commencement thoughts...
Nov. 12th, 2004 10:14 pmI went to commencement today, for band ( and )I am sort of scared now.
Why?
Next year, that will be me. I may be walking out of that school for the last time.
Change is hard. I think we all know that. University seems so far away still... but at this time next year, I will be 17 years old, and enrolled in post-secondary education. Am I ready for it? I hope.
I can't believe I've seen some of those people that I saw today for the last time... ever. I didn't talk to everyone I would have liked to, and not many words could be exchanged with the ones I did get a chance to speak with. I know I don't get really close to people that often... (don't ask me why I don't/can't, I don't know) but still... they will be missed. It was so great seeing so many familliar faces again, but... its sad knowing that they now really are gone. Well... the ones who are not on the 4.5-5 year programs are at least. And... well... I do miss so many of them. I've known them through band, sign language, imporve (it's French!), MUN (not"Model UN Nations" as some people seem to think it is... -_-;), choirs, MT, and so many more random things.
I want to live in the past again.
How does early February or June sound?
( ... )
Random fact: Commencement ended at... 9:22 or 9:24. One of the two. I can't remember which.
