So, as of last Friday, I have technically left school. I still have exams, and we’ve got to go in a bit for chemistry because none of us really know any of it, but I don’t have any school classes left ever. I’ll never have to go to registration again. I’ll never have another assembly. I’ll never be forced to listen to the ministers trying to be cool and not force religion on us and then ask us all to pray. Seriously though, it’s weird. I don’t want to leave. It’s horrible thinking that there are people that I’ve known since I moved here when I was four, and I might never see them again. Or people I’ve spoken to nearly everyday for years, and I suddenly might not be able to. And then there’s the few people who I’ve suddenly become really good friends with right before we leave. Thanks guys, that’s really appreciated. 
I really am going to miss school. My year are amazing. The year below think we’re boring cause they have better parties than us but seriously, which other year could you walk into the social area and find someone walking about wearing a bin? I think that’s what I’ll miss most though. There are certain individuals I’ll miss, but it’s our year together that’s really special. We have bitchy ones and not every gets on, but in general we have a lot less drama than other years; and we are all a little bit insane which helps. 
I’m worrying about leaving properly though. It just feels wrong that after being in school for basically my entire life so far, I’m suddenly not. I keep looking at everyone I know who’s older than me and reminding myself that they’ve all done it already, and there’s no reason why I can’t too. But I’m still a bit scared. I mean, I’m only 17. I’m not even old enough to vote yet but in a few months I’m going to be going on a gap year and travelling around the world by myself. And most of my friends are going to be moving out. We’re so not old enough for this! I knew these kids since they were 4!
It still hasn’t really hit me yet though, I’m finding this blog harder to write than normal just because it seems stupid writing about it now when I still have exams and prom and parties and duke of ed. Expect a longer, more nostalgic blog when it does hit me.
Aloha Steph, ’tis The Count from the boosh forum, or should I say the ex-forum.
How are you and what the hell did you do to the database!?
If Ben or Pandora can’t get it fixed, pass on my email to them.
I’ve spent the past few weeks migrating a corrupt database from mysql4>5 so i’m primed for some database fixing action.
Hello Count!
I’m good thanks, sad about the forum though.
Mrs H says that Ben should be able to fix it but he hasn’t replied to her emails. But he backed it all up last time it did this. I’ll let her know though.
