The Day is Near

May 13.
Last friday of my high school career.

The first time I am actually feeling sad about never seeing people again.
I was just much too excited for the freedom of a mandatory-school free summer
that I couldn't understand why everyone else was sad.

But now I understand.

We celebrated this day with a delicious English class party,
passing encouraging notes and God's verses as gifts
eating pizza
chips
and amazing homemade chai cupcakes with cream cheese frosting made by me and Emily
(I swear it will be the death of me)

Merriment was in the air as well, tinged with the sadness.
Because everyone was laughing, (as everyone should always be doing)
all were giving happy notes to one another
all were eating happy food
all were reminiscing as we flipped through our only just received yearbooks.

And yes, I never thought I would ever say this
but I may very well miss high school.
