LAST SCHOOL DAY!!!

It's the day I've dreaded most. Ever since 9th grade I've been trying to imagine how this day would look like, trying to figure a way to avoid crying, a way to come out of this day with the least sorrows possible. But, I have to admit, I was never able to find this way. I always thought that this day is so far and away that it would not come at all. Nevertheless, here it is, standing in front of me like a dreaded visitor: you expect him to be there and know he will free of your current duties, but at the same time he causes you much pain.

I can't believe it's nearly the last school day. I've always loved these 'meaningfull' speeches coming at the end of precious movies. I love it when the protagonist brings everything to the point with such wonderful words. And now it's time for me to do so, I am the protagonist of my own story and here comes the part when I am graduating. And I don't think it is wise to let such a one-in-a-lifetime experience pass away without noting on some dear, remarkable stations during this loong journey. I just hope I'm not getting too emotional.

To be honest, it's a weird feeling. You don't really know what you're supposed to do, not even what you want to do during this day. You wish it could last forever, to give you the chance to do each and everything, take pictures of each and every corner at school and most of all with each and every person you know.

Looking back I'm only able to capture these unconnected moments..moments rushing into my mind without a reason or without letting me know what they have in common. Just funny, dear and weird moments.

I can't remember the very old days, don't know why. Maybe because my new class means so much to me that it erased any remembrance of older incidents. Or maybe because one always remembers the recent events and all that is left from the older ones is just broken pieces or some clear short memories. But I don't think this will happen with this class.

It's just that over the past few years I have been through a lot. And, though this school didn't intend to teach me such things, I owe it much, I have learnt to speak up, to criticise myself as well as others, to avoid being shy and self respect. I am grateful and proud. Of course, school didn't only cause us happy moments, of course we had tough moments, but isn't it better to put them away and accept the fact that all the pleasure is worth all the pain. :)

I am most glad to have known you guys. I am happy that we all don't have mean people around us. Okay, there are people one can't stand, but on the last day you forget about all this and just enjoy the moment. I love my cool, hyper, crazy, weird but lovely class. I am glad to have known everyone, glad to have made such good friends as you all.

I just LOVE YOU AND WILL CHERISH EVERY MOMENT WE SHARED!!

Will miss you a lot,that's only for a short time, because I know we will always stay friends forever, no matter where we are or what happens. At least I hope so :)

I want to say that I had a great day today, made wonderful photos and had lots of fun.

LUV YOU!
