Well I’ll be. School's finally over for the year, my life as a sixth former is done, and all I have to do now is sit through a couple of hours of writing my name and filling in the blanks. It’s definitely been a mix of good (sweet parties, forgetful teachers not turning up to class) and bad (girls being forced to wear less revealing clothing, Katherine “writes feminist stories with no plot” Mansfield) but hey, that’s life.
I’d really like to begin this little reflection of mine by talking about something that happened at the start of the year. To be perfectly honest though, term one didn’t contain anything much of great interest. The Player Project of course was fun to watch (seriously, It was a great night out) and it did inspire me to try out for the production. Next to that however the only thing I can think of is the paper, scissors, rock competition, which is more than a bit sad. As always, I ended up being put in classes where I know and/or like very few of the people. Of course, as the year progressed, we became more familiar and less annoying to each other and it ended up alright. For anyone I didn’t get to know better over the course of the year, you’re welcome.
Everyone will obviously have a different opinion on what their 2008 school year highlight was, but for me, it was definitely the show. Everyone who was involved is so fucking talented, and to have had the chance to work with all of you is just awesome. To me it's pretty clear why our shows are by far the best (all you other high schools, thanks for trying -maybe next year huh?) with not a single person taking part who isn't incredible.
Term three was definitely all about the ball. We moved from “How hot is your date?” and “I’m going in a Hummerzine, what ridiculously excessive vehicle are you arriving in?” to “How awful/what a relief it’s a whole year until the next ball” and “What did you use to get the vomit out of your dress?” So thanks to the guys and gals who were on the organisation team, it was good fun. The afterball too must have been a pain in the ass to sort out and it was sweet as once we eventually made it inside (cheers Nirvana). Massive thanks to all the MAGS guys who brought along their very loose, easily intoxicated girlfriends.
Even our single week of term four proved to be worthwhile with the release of the piss take newsletter. Nice job guys. Some good satire never goes amiss and a bit of anarchy is always great (especially at SCONZ where we don’t get a lot of it). It was actually almost too well made and whoever put it together is definitely far beyond tying their own shoelaces. I’m pretty sure most students did enjoy reading it almost as much as you enjoyed writing and distributing it.
So despite it being sixth form, it's been a good year in many ways. To all the people who have been great friends and classmates I'd like to say thanks and, if you’re leaving, good luck for whatever your plans are. Alternatively, to any people who have screwed me over or messed me around, I'd just like to say go fuck yourselves.
Finally, if you read this little rant while you should been studying and haven’t found it particularly riveting, I apologise. However, I’d find it hard to believe that you’d rather be reading up on fiscal drag in a medieval economy, or learning the formula for the acceleration of a butter-coated balloon. I know that as soon as you’ve finished this it’ll be back to stalking your crush on Facebook, making sure all the headings in your book are properly underlined, or some other waste-of-time activity to put off studying for just that little bit longer. If you start to run out of ideas, how about writing a rant on the past school year? It’s a pretty effective.
Off like a ball dress,
Pete
