clo_againHad my last college lesson today, which aptly enough, was English. I don't think it's sunk in yet since I was more upset about my final Classics lesson yesterday. Right now I'm just kind of... -_- about it all. I'll probably wake up at about 2am in floods of tears when it finally hits me.
I liked college. As in *really* liked college. And coming from someone who has spent the vast majority of her life despising the education system and all it entails, that is saying a *lot*. Yeah so shit has happened; we had the Evil Troll-bitch From Hell for most of English last year and my Media teacher this year was worse than useless, but there's been much more good stuff than bad. The whole Disneyland trip. Poetry in English. Holly's 'photo shoot'. The giant snowball fight we had last year. Martin walking into English at the end of last July with a grin and "Guess who's back?" And just when it feels like I'm finally settling in... bam! It's over and we're simply waiting for our exams. It's weird. And sad. And I really *don't* want to leave. So maybe university will be better, who knows. But I fucking liked college. Two years isn't long enough.
To commerate my final day of 'true' education ever, I went in search of something to buy, a ring or necklace to keep. After searching through most of the jewellery stores and finding only insanely over-priced stuff - £1,500 for a ring!! - or stuff I didn;t like, I discovered a really pretty white gold ring with a blue topaz set in it. I "um-ed" and "ah-ed" for a little while then decided it really was the best I was going to get and shelled out £50 for it. Only they needed to order and re-size one for me so it's gonna be about two weeks. Still I *paid* for it today which makes it my 'leaving college' ring. I'll post a picture when I finally get it; it's v. pretty.
Going to see Troy again Monday with my Classics class at 1:15. Should finished around 4pm. Going for pizza next door to cinema. Going right back into cinema at 5:30pm to see Prisoner of Azkaban. Now *that*, as Christine pointed out, is the way to spend a bank holiday. ^__^ Going for a drink with everyone tomorrow to 'celebrate' leaving and we've set the date for our English-Martin-buying-us-drinks-thing for July 1st. So I haven't really "left" yet; there's still stuff going on. But college really ended half ten this morning. I just haven't admitted it to myself yet.
Am off to... I don't know. Sleep perhaps or read, or doodle, whatever. Let it all sink in.
Love, peace and jelly babies,
Clo
