High School

Finally got my certification today. I'm now a certified automotive technician. Going to apply for my NYS vehicle inspectors license tomorrow. Also applying for a job at a local tire shop we've been going to for, well, since before I was born. My dad knows all the guys and the teacher actually gave me the application, so I've got a great shot at getting the job. Also, high school is over for me and the ceremony for graduation is on the 23rd. Cannot wait!

Wish me luck guys!

Congratulations, on both the certification and graduation!

Thanks man I really appreciate it. Means a lot to me.


And wow. What a day it has been. So many mixed emotions. It was officially my last day of school, ever.

It started off like any other day. Get up, listen to music on the bus (used my phone because I left my Ipod at school yesterday). We got on the bus and I start talking to the driver (second bus that transports us to the vocational and alternative ED school) and she said she knew the guys at a place I was applying to for a job (her ex husband works there I guess). Anyways, my parents know the guys so that helped too. She calls the place to put in a good word for me, and then I find out I'm pretty much set on the job. The guy calls back later and I talked to him, and what do you know? I've got to be there 9 am sharp tomorrow morning!!

So after that I went in and got my Ipod and ate breakfast (this is when I talked to the guy). Classes went good like usual, then we went to lunch a bit early (about 10:30) and got back to the school. Since I graduated auto tech yesterday I wasn't required to attend so I went home right at 11:20 (when I got to the cafeteria for lunch and we got back to the school).

This is where I softened up. I told the guys I had to leave. I didn't see many of them because they were in differnet places in the school so I didn't get to say goodbye.

It was in that walk to the cafeteria, when we were in the hallway I spoke up.

Me and one of my closest friends in the world were walking to the cafeteria and I said, you know dude, this is the last time we are ever going to walk through these halls together, in our high school career. My buddy was like yeah I know, it sucks. So we stopped walking for a second and just looked at each other. Then I shook his hand and we said have a good life to each other and walked up to the cafeteria door. I can't remember what else we said before when we were in the hall.

This is where it gets mushy. I said I've got to go, my mom was there waiting for me and I didn't want to her to have to wait a long time (she had my sisters awards ceremony to go to at the home school). So we did our hand shake thing we do, shook hands a few times the real way, said a few thigns to each other and stood ther. Then he comes over and puts his arms out and gave me a huge hug and was lik, well I can't remember the moment was indescribable. My best bud doing this. We talked for a seocnd and he was like I'm gonna cry. I said the same and I felt them coming. Iwas like dude I need to go before I lose it. It's better for us both. Hes like yeah I know dude but I doon't want to. We finally broke it off after what seemed like ages and he looked at me and he was crying pretty good. We didn't say anything else. Just looked in each others eyes and walked off.

It was the hardest thing I've ever done in school, ever. I'm actually teared up typing this just thinking about it.
 
Congratulations Slashfan. We've been through hell. Prepare for work and summer. Mostly summer for me because I'm jobless. I don't know where to go or what to do. It's quite depressing honestly.
 
Haha, I have people on Facebook. 290 out of 304 don't talk to me.

So you talk to them instead? 💡

That, and cull your list down a bit to people that actually matter perhaps. Though my comment was more directed towards Slashfan.

I see. Most of the people don't have the same interests as we did in middle school, it'd be odd messaging them now because I haven't talked to them in what seems like ages, and they probably think I'm weird. . I'll keep my friends list where it is because I know there will be the occasional 'where have you been?!?' friend request. Who knows. Sorry for high jacking your comment also.
 
The last day of school was today, and it was actually pretty sad. I feel the class of 2013 really made the school what it was. Also, a huge surprise happened during the assembly. Everyone's favorite teacher, after being at this school for several years, announced that he would no longer be teaching. All the students almost started crying. Anyway, just one more year of high school for me and I'll be done.

I really liked the class of 2013 at my school too. I didn't realized that I would until they were done. But now I can't think enough about how great they were.
 
Congrats on graduating slash!... I hope your job goes well tomorrow!
Thanks man, I did the interview today and it went great!

Thanks bro!
TIL High School is hell.

Make Facebook, add people you care about, profit.

I know it is...I can see it already. I'm taking it slowly though so I don't get overwhelmed.


Also, my friend texted me this morning crying pretty good. He so isn't ready to let go...
 
Is the concept of "hanging out" something that just doesn't exist where you live?

Both of us are working screwy hours and 40+ hours a week now that we are out of school. When one of us is done the other is usually working.


That said we try to hang out but it's tough. It's not that we don't want to, it's that there isn't much time to.

This is me on the right and my bud on the left, he's the one that this all happened with. This picture dates back to the very early 2000's, like 2001 or 2002. It was the 100th day of school, and that house I made with my dad is out of 100 pencils. Legit.

My face when math final exam is today, not Thursday. Why did I think it was Thursday? I don't know, but it took me my surprise. Good thing I knew the material well and had minimal trouble with the test, except for one written question with multiplying a quotient of a fraction or something., and all the denominators are different. I winged it, but just that one. At least I know the science final is actually tomorrow. THREE DAYS TO GO.
 
This is a kind of achievement for me, All of that in one semester

Both are black pens

Congratulations to all the people graduating from Highschool

I don't know how you managed to keep up with those. Most of my pens/pencils were either loaned or lost by me :lol:
 
When I graduated, I wasn't nearly as sad as I thought I would be. However, I wasn't nearly as excited as I thought I would be either. In fact, it felt pretty "status quo." Maybe the two feelings offset each other, or something.

I know it was really a letdown when I graduated, I was all excited to be done then it was kind of blah when I finally got my diploma. Now a year later and two college semesters in I really wish I was back in high school, it was much more fun :lol:
 
Had the science final today. It had over twice the questions as on the math final. The math final had 30 multiple choice and 5 written, the science final had 80, all multiple choice. Like with the math final, I spent most of the leftover time checking my answers and seeing if everything was order. Also, TWO MORE DAYS.
 
Have to go back into school tomorrow morning to do my Global History regents, in the immortal words of Bart Scott "Feel great, can't wait"
