Last days of an era...
May. 10th, 2008 10:40 pmHa, despite all my moaning, etc, etc...I finally accepted HKU's offer...JUST in case something weird happens [who knows?] (and mostly because I got talked into it by my mum and other people who know about this...*sigh*...I really am indecisive...
And yeah, that meant paying the deposit too which I did yesterday since they gave me an extended deadline (13th May...which is not really a big, helpful difference from the original 7th May deadline...how lacklustre can they get?! *apologises*). *ducks as people scream/goggles at her and throws random junk at her head*
My God, yesterday was our last officially scheduled day at school...and 7 years of it at SIS...=( I'm going to miss SIS incredibly. I think it's safe to say that these were probably the best 7 years of my academic life so far (not sure about the personal life but academic life-wise, they've been fantastic!) And the teachers, I think I'm going to miss them most of all. Especially those in the English/History department....Mr Taylor, Mr Campion, Mrs Mathieson, Ms Sutherland, Ms Rodgers plus those who've taught me over the years, Mr Radford, Mr McKirdy, Mr Whitehouse, Mr Booth (both of the latter D&T teachers), Mrs Chapman...=(
We dragged Mr Stevens into our Ecobus class when we had Mr Smith and took a couple of photos with him as well as Mr Smith who later bought us drinks at the cafe downstairs. Very, very nice of him...=) I'm going to miss his eccentricities and humour.
Then we had a party in English...and although Ms Rodgers obviously planned to do some work on our poetry (we've still 3 poems left to analyse) we spent the whole two hours partying complete with a table-full of food, cake (which Ms Rodgers brought in) and chocolate, a group photo on the astroturf (one which includes us doing star jumps) and later a spontaneous dance (led by my study buddy) which included Ms Rodgers in the ensemble, lol.
So it was a day which was entirely devoid of work...as expected. Gah, 'The End' and graduation is next week...(as well as our first exam but who cares)...everything is happening so quickly!
*sighs nostalgically*
