Soon, I'll be be done highschool forever. Forever. No more locker, no more Elgin, no more walks home, no more orcas, no more student 1031626. I can type these words out so easily, they don't mean anything to me... yet. In 29 days I'll be finished; it seems like so much time, but compared to the 5 years I've spent here already, it's a mere second. I (obviously) know that everyone graduates school, but to be so close to the finish line is scaring me, a lot. I'm doing school in Europe for the following year, living with a family of strangers in city I've never even heard of. I keep on thinking of all the down sides when I'm there; recently I realized I won't see my mum dad or brother for a full 10 months. The friends I've made from grade 8 to now will only be able to be contacted through written words. It'll be one of the best years of my life no doubt, but the build up to it is starting to take its toll.

   And then there will be a day when these five years seem like a distant memory....a tiny twinkle from the past that tugs gently at your heartstrings. One day high school will not seem as important as it does when you stand on the threshold of time.
