And so, we draw to the end of our third year in high school and I don't think I could've done it without your guys' support. True to tradition, here goes the list of many thanks. (done in random order)
Shmolioes- its like cheerios but better cause they're shmolified. To double tall caramel macchiatos, trying on a million different tops for no reason, to endless hours just chillin' (teehe, chillin' like a penguin >.-)
Ari- racist jokes, bottemless stomachs, 50+ skips, need i say more?
Ems- for being a drunk, irish leper... i mean, lepercaun. cleaning your room, teaching you to speak manderin to pretending you speak it.
Mai- suprise party, grilled cheese sandwiches and a hot brother. =D oh, one more word. MELTED.
Pimp James- movie much? saw some good ones, saw some bad ones. to listening to me complain and guilting me into being a better person. marry me in vegas?
Anjo- for all the advice, cookies and support... even though we're very different (i believe you'll take that as a compliment)
Darcy- three words : Cookies for Notes! lol. in all serious.ness (?) its been great getting to know you and i admit, i was wrong, you're not a dork at all.
Geoffry- cheers , you cynical bastard =)
Janine- for making jpnese interesting and all the help.
T-Gin- = mini love
Robert and Kelly- mmm, we're cool... science enrich!
Nessa- always having the english grammer book/ homework done. and the never ending water. and, of course, we'll not forget your sluttyness. ^.^
Mini Sara- wow... i don't know your last name.... busrides downtown were fun, i'll reconsider transfering just so i can get my weekly dose of minikid
Lisa, Nancy, Cathy- omg, art: the eternal hell.... well, not so eternal, its over now (w00t) its been great getting to know you guys and hopefully i'll still see you around.
Stuart- crazy music guy, keep writing, recording and sending your music.
Lloyd- (oh yes you guys, i'm adding him) for 1 am, hour-long phone calls to rant and cry and not make any sense... not to mention the drunken ones.
I think that basically wraps it up for people but in the case i forgot you, let me know, i'm sure it was not intentional. And now for my annual reCap of the past year (that i actually wrote a few nights ago but have been too lazy to post.)
As we pass the halfway point of our high school careers, I must say that I am quite disappointed. These best years of our lives aren’t as easy as they seem. Today I was asked a question that haunts over me as I write this recap. “What have you learned this year? To answer this question, I have to look back at myself and how I’ve changed.
I’ve learned those who seem the most dependable may not be and people that never seemed that close to heart are there when you least expect it.
A best friend may not be someone we talk to everyday, or even week but when we need them, they’ll be there for us. They’ll never tell you you’re insignificant or stupid. What they say may not be what you want to hear but it’ll be the truth, no matter how long it takes you to accept it. And they’ll wait for you.
Friendly competition can be a good thing but it often draws a line between friends. We can’t let animosity get the better of us and making other people look bad doesn’t make ourselves look better.
Skipping classes does not make one cool, although it is sometimes necessary for the sake of mental health. Good mental health will out rule good marks any day of the week.
This year, I’ve learned that people aren’t what they appear to be. All people are selfish in nature and to judge is only human. I’ve learned that there are some things we cannot change about ourselves, only to learn to accept.
Over all, I’d say it’s been a pretty bad year full of tumbles and mistakes, some of which I wish I had never made. I’ve learned that not all mistakes have to be regrets. But more importantly, I can take away from it and I can grow.
What have you learned this year?
Kai
