Yesterday was my last day and it was our schools annual Day of Service. We got out early, but even so I was just wandering in the halls for the last hour of school- checking in my calculus book, saying goodbye to teachers and friends, and getting whitewashed. (It would seem that some of my friends are less thrilled than I am about me leaving and they showed me their displeasure in the form of picking me up and throwing me in the snow...no worries, I fought back. All three of them were as soaked as I by the time it was done.) It was crazy--I am so happy! So glad to be done! And yet there are a few people I'll miss, a few zany things about my school that I'm sure I'll look back on with fond memories (not sure what any of them are yet, but I'm sure there's some...)
I was really touched by how many people were sad to see me go. My friends all formed together and lifted me up and paraded me up and down the halls, then they threw candy at me and we did a big group hug. All of them seemed so sad- I never would have actually thought they cared that much. I mean it's not like I was that active in school this year, I just was waiting for it to finish!
Anyway, it is all over now! I never have to go back if I don't want to, and it feels grand! I just kind of thought it would be fun to do a now and then picture. So, I'm going to, because I can. The first picture is me as a freshman, the second me as a senior. I can't actually tell ALL that much difference. In fact as I was browsing my pictures I found several more pictures that were taken in my junior year of high school that I like more, and I liked how I looked more in those but I couldn't post those because that would be cheating. I still think my senior picture is marvelous. I didn't have that many pictures taken this year so far, but then again this year hasn't been that long (school years wise) so I haven't has as many chances. Sometime soon I plan on having actual senior pictures taken, and then I'll upload those. It'll be fun.
This is me, a freshman in high school- taken in November (this picture was taken by a real professional, so that basically translates down into I never really looked this good. :) )
And this is me, a senior in high school--also taken in November by my wonderful sister Steph, and of course my dog Belle is there, she's a beauty isn't she?
So yeah, that's me. And I'm changed forever! That song from Wicked pops into my mind now- the "I have been changed for good" one. Life will never be the same. And I'm so excited!
