Ditto for me too, on both counts. The day I graduated I was unbelievably happy, I even remember on the radio in the car that old Boston song called 'Don't Look Back' came on and I said to myself "Yep. Don't look back!" and that's how I was for years afterwards. I would never complain about my elementary or junior HS torture or the gym class horrors or other things. Nope, I just tried to push it all out of my mind and looked forward to college and the real world. Although, college isn't exactly the real world either, is it. But still, I had fun. Only lately, with my 20 year reunion invitation sitting on my desk, am I thinking about high school. I want to go, just for my selfish schadenfreude . I'm going with the hopes that some of my tormentors have either grown grossly obese or are chain smoking burnt-out skeletons. And even if they're not, I'll shake their hands anyway and say hello and ask them to tell me everything they've done for the last 20 years in 3 minutes.

We have 8 days left I think. It is very sad. I don't want to lose touch with all of my best friends.

^^ That's the trouble, isn't it? School is the only time of your life when you get to see your friends all day every day ... and I didn't quite appreciate that until this year! Fortunately that's made it the best year ever, in spite of all the pressure.
In Ireland the system for getting into college is really high-pressure. The grades you get in your final exams are translated into points and whether or not you get your place depends on how many points you have. I've applied for a psychology degree at Trinity College Dublin and I need to get at least 550 out of 600 points for it. So I'm scared! |

I did my first degree(s) - Physics & Civil Engineering in the UK and did my Masters in the US at UC San Diego. It takes a great effort to get a University qualification wherever you study, so well done to those who did it and those currently studying. Quote:
