High School: Over and Out
15 years ago
General
So as of today, I have officially finished high school.
The day started off with a 'Valedictory Service' in which me and all the grade 12's headed off on a bus to a cathedral for a 3 hour long final farewell. We were presented with candles and crosses and then anointed by the Arch Bishop of Brisbane (my school being an Anglican school and all...). The event didn't have as much emotional impact as I thought it would, although one of the girls sitting beside me managed to get quite teary.
After the service I took the train home with my friends and their parents and managed to get fast food along the way.
The next 4 hours or so basically involved me playing CoD: Black Ops (a game that I have predictably become very addicted to).
Later on me and my parents headed off to go to a 'Valedictory Dinner' (because the service wasn't enough apparently). Sat down with my friends again and had a generally good night. The food was... Well... There wasn't much of it, but at least there was a lot to drink! The teachers displayed multiple slideshows of our time at school and then presented us with our exit grades and certificates. Thankfully, my grades were as I expected them to be, so I'm quite happy. I managed to take some decent photos of the event, despite one of my friends avoiding being photographed at all costs! Also, there was cake, which is always a good thing!
So now I am a high school graduate... It is gonna feel really weird not going to school on Monday. More to the point, I won't see most of my classmates again (except on Facebook of course).
In about a week's time from now I'll be heading off to the cost for Schoolies... Well it's technically not schoolies because it's a week after schoolies finishes and it's at the Sunshine Coast and not the Gold Coast.
In other news, I'm in the midlle of drawing up a fanart/giftart picture for somebody and will probably have it done by tomorrow.

Yeah, my 16 year old friend is graduating next year, but attending classes a year after that (probably due to different reasons than you).
