Hurlstone Class of '09 is the best

I shouldn't be blogging. Ah well.

We finished school this week and I've been feeling down because I didn't want anything to change. I admit that I was really excited about uni and about meeting new people and moving on from adolescence...but gosh, the last week has been such a blast and when Thursday came, I couldn't help but cry my heart out. Man, I'm such a loser.

Before last week, I was pretty set and focused on the future. I had my UAC preferences all planned out, I had been to the majority of the open days and I decided on which uni to go to (UNSW!) and was thrilled by the fact that in just 20-odd days I could purhcase my first legal drink. And then we had all those class parties and photos, MUCK UP DAY and boarder-daygo. Pretty much all those events embodied what High School is and the spirit of Hurlstone. During final assembly, when the school captains, our year advisors, the principal and our very capable peer mcs told us about how much we'd grown since we first came to Hurlstone, I realised that I didn't want any of it to end.

I remember the first day of high school. I was pretty skinny back then (yep, you better believe it! haha) and the school dress was a huge potato sack I could easily toss over my head to wear. The majority of my class (7I for the win!) lost their way to their first ever high school lesson - Computers with Mr. Payne in room 11. I nearly did, but I recognised a girl who I knew was in the same class as me because I saw her on orientation day, and because we were lucky enough to ask for directions from a year 12 who wasn't out to get us, we got to class relatively unscathed. That girl was Haney Cho. When we sat in room 11, we compared our 'high school book packs' which we brought on orientation day and she told me about the boarding school and how she already missed her family. She was my first high school friend =) (minus Harrington St buddies, Harrington St. Represent!)

I can't believe it's been nearly 6 years since then! I will forever remember all the good times. Especially the camps! Jindy camp was the absolute best.

I'm going to miss our year. No doubt we make one of the most loveable and capable year groups out! '09 ftw!

Should stop before I cry again,

Stoody hard peoples. See ya'll soon!
