so guys...
not gonna lie, i kinda miss school. or at the very least, i miss seeing the people in it every day. does anyone else get the feeling that since we've been gone, so much has changed already? like i know we're all still friends, but it just feels so occasionally distant and fragmented and that... sucks incredibly. on the other hand, i suppose that distance will make our five year reunion a little more exciting. it just seems like everybody is going in such distinctly different directions. like take this blog as a little microcosm example of the whole grade. sam's in italy, alex is in japan, ru and hui are going to canada, momoe and i are going to america and maxim is in canberra. and i know it's all dream following and everything but it's just difficult to think about the concept of actually losing all of you guys.
anyway, i'm in new york right now so i can go to the open days for Brown and Columbia, which are the two colleges i'm deciding between, since Princeton rejected me (bitches). and this all just means it's really happening, and everything will change. it's a good thing, it's just hugely stressful and it will be a massive adjustment. especially since i've made a bunch of really good new friends at law school and i met a boy (who is pretty great).
decisions.

ps i aint going to canadia no more cos it makes no sense for me to
have fun my beautiful liam :)
viva la internet
whaaa why not?! what about ya twin?
yeah she's going.
idk, i guess there's more reason to stay than go. it's kinda unfair for me to expect my family to arrange for a move that i wasnt even 100% on in the first place.
its a pretty big decision so it shouldnt be done if im only 50% for it. das all :) im hoping to move to the US in the future tho, when in 21 or something haha
that's true. and wow... so crazy - you will get to be an only child (sort of). you'll do super well here though!
hey child i feel ya.
I feel ya a lot.
like a lot.
and im not even going to a renown school or anything...
decisions.
All of us are going to move on in some way or another; we will all come into our own in different ways, we'll meet new groups of people that the others wont, and our courses for life are going to start diverging wildly.
Up until last year we all had IGS as a common experience, something where we all had similar goals and habits. It is the thing that gives us common ground, it's the springboard that made us all friends in the first place. Everyone from Year 12 2011 has that claim.
I was on facebook today and I saw Maria online. I realised that I probably won't ever see her or talk to her again and know what she's doing in life, because even though we were cool at school, we were never really super tight. But to me, that's cool. I want the people I know to go and meet people I don't know; I want to see this world of ours always grow. In five years' time, for the first school reunion, some of us will still be close friends, some of us will be unrecognisable, and we will all have incredible tales to tell about what life has shown us after we all left our mutual growing-up ground.
