... The End

I'm free of Bowmore!

Just in time, too. They're making horrible changes to the school, turning science into a homeroom subject and making it so there's an art teacher for the eights and the sevens. The bonus is art all year... the minus is the eights get a horrid teacher.

I'm surprised. A lot of the other grade eights apparently cried at grad, but I wasn't even THERE to cry. I skipped the dance to go out of town and watch Pirates of the Caribean. Not something I regret.

The people I will miss are all in grade seven. I'm going to the same school as one of my friends, and in grade ten I'll be going to Rosedale-which is where ALL my Giftie friends are going. So yay.

Feels weird. I'm not going to see them at school tomorrow, or the next day... or even in September. So even though I know I will see them again, part of me feels kinda doomsday about the whole thing, like we'll never hang out again.

I wish Daddy could see me now, too. See that I actually pulled off graduating, even if I only got into some awful high school which I'll only be going to for one year. At least I got in somewhere other than Danforth, which is the worst school in TO.

...it feels weird, though, because yesturday all the kids I was hanging out with were saying 'see you in September', but I won't see them in September. Heck, some of them I probably won't see for years, if ever again. Just... I dunno.

I wonder what it'll be like to graduate from high school?

I didn't "start high school" because I went to an arts school with grades 7-12 all put together--but what I do remember is feeling awed by all of the older kids, and working really hard to figure out how the lockers worked, and where my classes were, and how to get out of eating in the cafeteria. I felt stronger and more confident every week as I became more familiar with my new environment, and as I progressed in school I took a lot of pleasure helping out younger kids and showing them the ropes.

I hope that you find friends who are just as helpful to you, and that once you get the swing of things (even if you are only at that school for a year), you can help other newbies.
