The beginning of the end...

Oh my gooooddnessss.

First day of grade 12! [sort of. We 'school leaders' had to go in when the 8's and 11's started. The rest of school resumes tomorrow].We're the big kids now, no one to look up to or aspire towards. Just us.

I'm looking forward to this year. Mildly terrified of it as I am. I am happy with the people [students.teachers.others] that I'll be working with, and I plan to work hard and achieve what I want :)

I can be seen above right, being pretty freaking excited about being a senior ;) and below that, Jarrah and I are wearing our 'formal faces', appropriate to the uniform! Below left is my final 'first day of school, smile!' photo. EVER.IN.THE.WORLD. Lordyyy.

I was also grateful for surprise coffee! Squee, loveliness :) To celebrate the first day, or the last day? There was some technological confusion, but it was marvellous fun. Thannkyouuu. :)

Tomorrow its business as usual. Things I do, like my chemistry assignments...they MATTER now. I tried incredibly hard before now, of course, butthe marks go toward our REAL LIVES, now. Hurrah for incentive-based motivation ;)

That's about all I have to say on the matter. Grateful for new adventures, last first days, surprises, and being the big kids :)

All you darlings, keep dreaming, keep smiling. Spread the love and happiness. Heck, surprise someone by taking them for coffee! :) Remember - 2011 is the provider of 365 opportunities to make someone's day!

All my grateful love, beautifuls.
