The Grad Mass

This week has seen the end of school life; Thursday last I spent my last school day unproductively. End of year pranks had been executed the night before consisting of a large penis being artistically outlined onto the main pitch in line marker. My final day was spent practicing music for the grad mass that night. I would be singing at the ceremony.

The mass felt like a ten minute event but lasting more like 2 hours, as a tribute to our year, the school president gave a well performed speech followed by our final song ‘You’ve Got a Friend’. Absolutely touching!

School was over and it was time to celebrate our coming of age, we ventured to the pubs. Here I practiced my final moments of youth, yes; I was the idiot that got inebriated. I was the one that took teenage drinking to the highest level. Being my last school day I celebrated with teachers that I found in the night club. God help them, as shameful as it is to say, I have no idea what I was saying to them! I was assisted out of the night club at the end of the night by my very obliging friends. And to my friend- I apologise about your shoes!

The following days saw the road of recovery from a hazy night and an opening to a whole new plane of studying. Since Thursday I have been experiencing study like never before, sitting down for hours at a time eating books as if a famine was approaching. Today sees me practicing my new business skills, testing myself on years of past papers (I only took up business 3 months ago).

Pre Grad Mass

The last few weeks of school included my art practical exam. I was anxious about this exam, I am not the most creative by nature but my doodles might just pass for the new abstract style. I am relatively pleased with my masterpieces work and with this exam completed I become apprehensive of nothing more but hours of written exam material lying just weeks ahead.

The Long and Winding Road

In 9 days thousands of students will be entering their exam centres, after a long 6 years we will be proving ourselves as scholars. College is just few months away; I smell the sweet life of a college student. Who’s coming accommodation hunting? Anything to avoid study right now!
