So today was the last day of school, the last day of finals, the last day of being a Junior. In just a couple of months I will have to apply to college, go to my last winter and spring concert, play my last season of soccer, and run my last season of track. And I can't believe. I don't feel like a Senior, I feel too young and immature....Seniors are old, and well put together...that doesn't explain me! But except it I must, for everyday of Senior year, is one less day at my high school. And before I know it, I to will be graduating.
Walking into the stadium to the tune of fanfare and pomp and circumstance (never again will I have to volunteer with the orchestra and play it for older kids)
Looking up into the stands
And the cheering and the excitement
Speakers then speak, then names are called..]
then MY name is called
closing remarks, the moving of the tassel, and the throwing of the hats
The awwww its over
or the yikes! college has just begun
The tears and the crying and the pictures and the hugging
And knowing that some people I went to school my whole live with, from Elementary school on, I'll never meet again....
sigh but I am just a New Senior, or an old Junior trying to enjoy her last summer before graduating public education.
I remember Freshman year now, all the Seniors told me, you know it goes really fast, but I never thought that would be me. No, I thought, it won't be that way for me! It will go long and take forever....but I was wrong, with the blink of an eye I am a Senior.....
I don't even remember Freshman year anymore...sophomore year is a blurr and junior year is unbelievable...I feel...has junior year really ended? Like for real? Really ended? All that hard work I put in is it just for nothing? Or am I really that much smarter?
So the count now begins
I have taken Senior pictures,
and today was the last day of school
everything else I do for the next year....will be the last time I am doing it
