Hi everybody. It's been a while. In that while I've been gone, we have graduated. High school.
All those movies and books where high school kids graduate; it seemed so far away. Even now writing this, it still hasn't hit me.
I am sad, I am happy, and most, most of all: I am truly THANKFUL.
Baulko has been the CENTRE of my universe: I really feel like I've tried to make my most of my school time and I can truly-really, truly- say I have ABSOLUTELY 0 REGRETS. For all the friends I made this week, or even the friends since good old year 7: you're all my friends anyway. So for those of you who made new friends this week, don't regret never talking to them before. Be glad that we were able to meet them, the length of a friendship doesn't matter, it's the sincerity ^^
Graduation Day was honestly the most amazing day of my life, the most amazing adventure.
Here's the story of yesterday:
Well firstly after graduation we stayed around for a while to take photos etc and we were about to leave around 12 something but then Mr Serrato came down the stairs and started talking to me about graduation etc and Milly, Rach, Bea, Alysha, Maheesha, Roger, Dayanan and Kaveh waited for me so we missed the first bus out to the city.
We took the next one but then at the city we missed our stop haha and we ended up somewhere around central. Alysha wasn't going to the beach and wanted to eat lunch, so we decided we would eat with her before she left. And then after she left, we walked all the way up to Hyde Park from central to catch the bus to Bondi. Along the way, our bus crashed into a van and we all had to get out.
But we FINALLY made it (and watched 3 buses that went to Bondi drive past us lol) and everybody else was all packed up and ready to go LOL.
By that time it was about 6:45 and we were thinking maybe we'll make it to Nick's at 9:30 if we're lucky...haha.
The bus to city from Bondi was full, so we caught the one to Bondi Junction, where we caught a train to Town Hall, where we caught a bus back to towers.

We FINALLY got to Nick's and checked the time, which was only 9:04 so we were celebrating hahaha and everybody at the party kept asking us why we were so late lol
And then we decided not to wait for the next bus and walk to Bondi, which we thought was close (mistakenly) and turns out it was about 40minutes walk away hahaha.
And then we decided since we were already out of the house, we should go to Nicky's graduation party. Rach and I went to change out of our swimmers and we were talking, and didn't realise we were gone so long (about an hour, even though we thought it was about 20 minutes) and when we came outside the sky was really dark and Beatrice started to cry (even though she hadn't cried all day at grad) because she was so worried and thought we had gotten kidnapped.
On the bus a man recognised our school crest and turns out he was a Baulko graduate of class 1998!! Haha it's fate, because yesterday on our graduation day we met a former graduate randomly. And he told us all these life lessons about perspective and the future etc
We finally made it to towers, and then realised that the next bus to Glenhaven was about 50 minutes away so Kenneth called some P-platers to pick us up lol but there were too many of us so we had to squeeze 6 of us into one car.
ALSO Virginia nearly crashed into a bus on the way to Nick's, bringing the day to a bit of a cycle haha
SO that was our CRAZY adventure on Graduation Day, I hope everybody else had a blast celebrating the culmination of 6 years of tears, laughter and craziness.
I will honestly, honestly never ever ever ever forget the amazing high school life, I am a blessed girl.
I think in the future reading this post will made me so happy.
And RH, my twin, if you're reading this: DROOL.
LOVE: MICHELLE
