| time for sappy end of year post?
sure, why not? not like i have anything better to do with my life.
i don't even know where to begin. middle school was amazing and i seriously don't want to believe that its over. i came into this school the weird little girl with horrible hair and glasses, and i'm leaving the school the weird girl who grew like three inches, with bad hair and contacts. for me, thats a huge change! HA! but seriously, i've become so different, and so much happier with myself and the only people i have to thank for that are the wonderful people that i've met over these two years. they've pushed me and encouraged me and lent me their sholder waay to many times to count. and now everyone is leaving, and i feel like i'm back being the scrawny little kid with no friends, because, really, at fairfax, i still am. Rocky Run was a bubble, and now its popped, and i'm not too crazy about the whole falling thing. Rocky Run was a bubble though. a person could be on the math team, and dance around in man pants and suspenders, and skip lunch every thursday to go eat with a teacher (by choice, not detention), and yet still leave rocky run with a group of people who really understand her and actually like her. will i be able to do that at fairfax? yes, but my friends will have to be of the invisible kind. woo and hoo. go invisibility.
Rocky run seemed to big the first day, ( though maybe not, because i was wearing heels) and so scary, and everyone else seemed to strange and new, and i thought to myself "wow. that person looks weird. ONE OF MY OWN KIND!" but i was waay to scared to say anything to anyone. and now those people are my good friends. and for what? two years. two rediciously short years, just enough time to make a friendship, and not have enough time to really get to know them. its the perfect amount of time, however, to lose touch with someone and never repair the friendship.
what is a school though? (HA. that sounds so poetic) its just blackboards and carpeting (except in the rooms with no carpet) and overhead projectors and "learning" and other crap like that. its the people that make the difference. so maybe we don't need a school. maybe we can still stay in touch without the school. because, while it was the school that brought us together, we were the ones who didn't let each other go. but then again, this is the same speech i gave at the end of elemetary school, and i know how great that worked outt. but i think i really mean it this time. so if you told me that we were going to hang out this summer, i don't care if you were lying, i really am going to make an effort to make sure we do. be prepared. i'm not giving up that easy. so...
through the drama (which there really wasn't that much of this year), the horrible teachers (there were a lot of those), the great teachers (there were a few of those), the homework (the three times i actually did it), projects, school lunches, fights, inside jokes, solos, roller coasters, scissors *shudders*, dances, choir concerts, shopping sprees (which for is like, $20), bus rides, 4 pairs of converse, field trips, new friends, old friends, marrages to various classmates, parties, clubs, a million bags of swedish fish, martin luther king jr raps, 90's songs, boybands, needing a cage, and of course, the classes, these two years have been the best yet. i would say i'm looking forward to the next four, but i can't. ask me in two years.
so yea. the point of this was pretty much to say thank you to everyone because you have no idea how much you mean to me. i don't know how much you mean to me. but i know when i get to fairfax and i hear N*SYNC or the fresh prince of bel air theme song, or someone screaming about asian pride, or an outcast being helped, i'm going to think of rocky run, and eigth grade, and really start appreciating everyone. i took to much for granted when it felt like school was dragging on forever. i didn't really take time to appreciate everything. and wow i'm using the word apprecite a lot.
so this long sappy post is done. and so is the three minutes of your life you spent reading it. but it was worth it!
no, not really....haha.
