IT'S OVER YEAHHHHHH

What an amazing feeling.  I don't feel bound to anything now.  I don't feel bound to expectations, responsibilities, or limits.  This is the most wonderful thing ever.

On a side note, I owned the Bio Exam....NOT THAT IT MATTERS!  DISS!

Grade 12

Since this is pretty much the end of my high school career save for half a dozen exams of dubious worth, I thought I'd take some time to gather up my thoughts about Grade 12, not just what happened at school, but the whole year in general. 

In hindsight, working abroad in New Brunswick might have been the best decision I've made in my life thus far.  When I was there, I experienced a completely new world.  A new culture, a new people, a completely different lifestyle in which I could not ask for a bailout from home.  Even now, I think it was pretty boring.  There were a few very fun and enriching points, like working in a foreign language, building meaningful relationships with people I knew I would never meet again, and meeting some amazingly talented and hard-working peers (i.e. Ashley and Aleysha xD).  Going to those drinking parties and the all-ages clubs (hilarious shit btw).  It was really difficult at times, because the environment of living in a small town (there were like 200 people) never really fit in with me.  But I made a ton of realizations there, perhaps the biggest one being that I love the city of Toronto, and wouldn't mind living the rest of my life there.

Coming back to school was a joyous occasion for me.  I missed my friends so much, I missed the city, I missed my fellow Azns, the Gifties, my family, everything about my normal life.  Of course, Woburn got awful boring again, awful fast, since the workload and the sheer repetitiveness of Grade 12 was (in the words of Mr. Chan) dumped on me once again. 

I cannot stress what a poor decision I made when I chose my courses last year.  Academics just aren't for me. 

I knew that if I applied myself completely, I could get incredible marks in every subject, but I couldn't concentrate at all.  Maths, sciences, they just bored the hell out of me.  For the first time in my academic career, I honestly asked myself "what the hell am I learning?  I won't ever need this" and it was true.  So my marks kept dropping and so did my effort.  I didn't do any homework and crammed only the night before every test or quiz to make sure I didn't fail courses.  I only handed in what was worth marks.

Still, I found interests.  I found things that I could focus on and put my heart into because they were things that genuinely interested me.  I read a ton of books about money management, stocks, personal relationships, racing techniques, just a bunch of random stuff that happened to interest me.  I wanted to better myself, and the guilt from not performing to par at school fueled my quest for knowledge even more.  In the end, I decided to head to U of T and study commerce, and make a measurable step towards becoming a lawyer.

As for my love life, this year was definitely one to forget.  Me and Sabrina left on awful terms, which haven't seemed to have gotten better at all over time.  The other one went by so fast and ended so fast I'm not even sure I could classify it as a relationship, which really hurt because I never felt like I had a chance to feel things out (pardon the pun, born completely out of bad taste).  The cock sandwich girl probably made my year though (for those who don't know the story, ask me personally sometime and I'll explain, I can't really do it here).  Nevertheless, I clearly have a ton of things to learn about women...uhh we'll leave it at that.  XD

But I did meet a lot of awesome people this year.  And the awesome people that I already knew, I got to know better.  The drinking parties this year were random as hell, ESPECIALLY since I had never before seen gifties drink in my life, which (as I predicted) ended in hilarity. 

God I'm so glad us Gifties became closer this year, ahh the history is just flooding back to me...since I'm one of the VERY few Grade Three gifties left (brappp to Thomas and Robert ^_^)  All the random adventures downtown, chilling in STEP, rolling tires down the ice, vent conversations, pissing off Carmen, dota, the AWESOME english plays, going to my first street race, listening to Gibson's hilarious rants and comments, the revival of 90s music, and EVERYTHING in between; I will remember and cherish all of it.

Peace out, I gotta study Algeo now.

...now Physics...grr

....now Chem...god this is retarded

Facebook is Funny

So get it everyone. 

And then add me. 

Cuz I'm cool like that. 

....

=D

Yo, Vince here.  I just realized I haven't read been on Xanga for two weeks now.  Mah bad, I knew y'all missed me.  In anycase, Prom is tomorrow and its cool; it's truly starting to feel like the end of high school.  And boy, it really couldn't have come faster.  I'm so incredibly sick of staying in the same building everyday for hours upon hours doing the same boring classes again and again.  I realize that university will quickly become a routine as well, but goddammit I need a change.  Bad. 

Looks like that change might be coming if I can get a job with TD waterhouse, of whom I had an interview with this afternoon for a summer position.  I think it went far better than I expected.  They really played their questions to my strengths, whether they knew it or not.  Mutual fund processing....man that's just a fancy name for data entry, but it would still be cool to work an office job this summer.  Plus I felt like a pimp wearing a suit and full business getup.

And speaking of pimp, that's exactly how Dali and Eduard looked in their pure white (okay, maybe a bit of off-white) tuxes.  There was a friggin mob at Tuxedo Royale rushing for tuxes at the last minute, half the dudes were from Woburn too lawl.  My tux fits me really nicely too, it has a good feel to it.

For the first time I'm actually getting excited for prom.  I have no idea what the girls are gonna look like, it'll be a funky adventure.  So here's to our Class of 2006, the longest train of idiots to ever grace Woburn.  I <3 you all.  CHOO CHOO =D

Anyone else feel no need to do work at all?  It's great.  I have like no stress, just chillin with friends, watching some great hockey on TV.  Ahh man, I love it when I don't have to spend the entire day in this half anxious, half tired state just trying to get by.  It saves a ton of energy, energy I can put into much better use.  Like doing jump rope, haven't done that in months.  I don't know how I did it so much when I was little, it KILLS now.  But really fun.

Still studied like 3 hours of physics, but it didn't feel like studying.  It was more like..learning for fun.

Is that possible?  What's happening to me?
