i am at school.

3 more hours to be a highschooler.

to be a Calhoun student.

the last day i'll hang out in the computer lab and avoid studying.

last day i'll sit out in the foyer on that bench and feel the sun on my face.

last day i'll dash up the stairs to the history class i'm always late to.

last day to be a senior. oh whoa.

growing up, i always had my eyes on this day. the day i'll be all grown up. suddenly i'm here! and this chapter is closing. closing quickly.

i must retun to the korean conflict and the election of 1948 and iwo jima and the cult of domesticity for just a few more minutes. before that final final. what finality.

goodbye, highschool! goodbye, goodbye!
