WOOOOW.
So graduated today.

Tears came at the graduation, but they came more when i looked at the photo's on the computer, coming to the relisation its actually over.

Playing Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls as we walk out doesn't help the crying.
Check out my facebook for photo's

Goddam year 12 sprayed shaving cream on my blazer when they were walking out (the rest of the school has to make a guard of honour).

I got teary today, but graduation is tomorrow.

I need to make a speech (as captain), so I hope my co-captain won't cry on me. =_=; Or else I'll cry too.

My absolute favourite teacher got his modern history gift today. He was about to cry; he was speechless. He's such a good person, who taught me many things, the most important being about faith and belief. I will miss him. I nearly cried after I left class, as the sinking realisation set in that I would never have a class with him again.

P.S. We got him a yearbook, photoshopping our faces onto famous figures and printing that. Absolutely hilarious.

Yesterday.

Mine was alright. I cleaned up the awards but missed out on a really good scholarship. I'm a little bummed because I had the better marks but I know the kid for family reasons needed to money more then I did. Still would have been nice though.

I didn't see anybody cry and I'm certainly not upset - I'm way over school.

I cried, alot.

I love my teachers, I love my friends at school and I love my school community. It is unlikely that I am going to be part of such a tight knit group again in my life, and it is unlikely that I'm ever going to meet so many compassionate people who care about me and the other students. That loss makes me very sad.

But, although sad, this is a time of change. I was too comfortable and secure at school - it is time to be challenged again... during the HSC, after the HSC entering the workforce, at university and beyond.

So yes I cried but it was a happy/sad event.

Best of Luck Class of 08

Yeah I know what you mean, your just use to the lifestyle of getting up in the morning and then going to school and like you dont want to let go of that feeling where u meet your friends in the morning and all those classes =[

I know im going to miss alot my maths and english classess because they were more than just an ordianry timetabled lesson for me.

Good luck to you =]

Yeah graduation was today, the vice captain made a speech and starting crying,
that was the start, then a few people cried, then the photos started and more people started crying and then the walk out with everyone clapping was intense as at the end outside the hall, the year 12 teachers were on each side of the
pathway clapping us out. Looked around, every chick was crying and the odd guy.
Really has not hit me, dont expect it too until the end of HSC exam

Ah, keep the ol' uniform and see if you can still fit into it in 20 years!

It will sink in when you walk out of that last exam and you realise you are free. Then really sink in when you get your UAI and hit home when you work out what Uni you are going to and then you begin to panic - OMG what is Uni going to be like. :D

Ah, enjoy. And BTW, don't read Lord Of The Rings right now. I did in Year 12 after leaving and when Frodo and the elves leave, I bawled my eyes out.

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

Had graduation on Friday and so many people were crying, I nearly did but managed not to. Hasnt sunk in yet that I have reached the end but I dont know it felt weird at graduation.

Maths teacher nearly made me cry...he was so good and wrote me a brilliant reference and I had him for 4 years and we were close.
