The Daily News
1 This is officially it for the Seniors. Tonight's the big night.
2 It's been a pleasure reporting all the emotions of this from the perspective of a member of the Senior Class.
3 I know, I know...
4 I've said this before, and I'll say it again: the class considers me a member, whether I want them to or not. We've ALWAYS gotten along that way, and even though I'm technically just their advisor, with this class, it has ALWAYS been special, and different. I can't really figure how, but let's just say that they are, and have always been, a very special group to this old brown shoe.
5 Today is actually almost just...let's just get it all over with. Sound familiar? I really think all the reminiscing, crying, hugging, bonding, and everything else has finally hit all of us. There is only so much of that sort of thing a person can take, and then it starts to give one a headache.
6 I've done my hugs, said one of my best good-byes EVER on this very sight. I read in the paper this morning that Xanga and My Space are somehow going to be more controlled and all, which is, I imagine, a good thing, safety-wise, but I always thought that Xangas and My Space and things like that are pretty healthy outlets for kids.
7 Oh, well...
8 So it's a done deal as of tonight. Hopefully, all will go wonderfully, but I've made the mistake at times this year where I had high expectations only to have things dashed for this reason, or for that.
9 So I'm just...ready. I think a lot of kids feel the same way, so this is just me reporting to you probably some of the feelings we ALL have. Let's just do this...
10 So I shall disappear here just saying one last, lovely time: thanks Class of '05. Those of you in the KNOW, you know I love you so...
11 Godspeed, my wonderful friends.
12 Peaceout.
