Kinda miss school at the moment too... especially Ancient History. Even though the subject could be boring at times, it could be really funny (in so many inappropriate/weird ways) and it was actually valuable to learn about). By 'valuable' I mean knowing that it's relevant; not like when you're sitting in maths learning about Pythagoras' Theorem and the question asks you to calculate the length of an ice cream cone or something stupid like that. Making ice cones in a factory isn't for everybody. I strongly doubt I'll need most of the maths (with the exception to basic and financial maths) that I learnt in senior grades (11 and 12).
I'll miss biology and english too... those classes felt like families (just very big ones). I know that sounds cheesy but that's honesty for you...
I tried to reflect on what I've learnt and will miss from younger grades ( year 8, 9 and 10) but I quickly became sidetracked when the memory of Mr Hooper (the deputy principal) sniffing the students' food/ assessment pieces during hospitality class in 9th grade became prevalent. I remember saying louder enough to get both my teacher and many wondering eyes' attention - 'Mr Hooper get away from my food'. That was definitely a day I will never live down...
And then there was the time I was being an idiot with one of my friends and was singing a terrible karaoke version of 'I don't like the drugs but the drugs like me' by Marilyn Manson and the principal walked past and gave me a look that pretty much spelled out a [What The Fuck] facial expression. This is probably why I'm no where near being a teachers pet. By the way to make matters worse this happened THIS year
I will enjoy looking back on all of the precious memories made with my friends which most of the time ended up with somebody getting either embarrassed, losing what was left of their dignity or making random strangers question our sanity.
Hope 2015 is just as good.
