Studying for exams is like trying to run into a brick wall - hell yeah, it hurts

Exams. Exams. Exams. They're here.

Today is my last day of "highschool"; After this, there will only be exams, exam review day and commencement where I will walk across the stage and take my high school diploma from the hands of one of the staff.

Today doesn't feel like the last day. My friend and I walked past a group of seniors sitting around a circle covering their eyes in silence with their blue yearbooks open. I thought they were crying. My friend thought they were praying together. It turns out they were just listening for the next instructions in playing Mafia. Sigh. I got some sad blues from signing the yearbooks of my friends, thinking about the memories and feelings that I remembered. It makes me want to stay a little longer in high school, just so I could be grateful for just basking in their presence. Well... for the past two months (or maybe even in April) I've been more appreciative of the time of my friends when we do even the most ordinary of things - walking with them all the way to the subway station and eating lunches with them. It makes me ask: when will I see them next after high school?

So why does studying for exams make me feel like I'm running into a brick wall? It's because it reminds me that I have only so few days left with my classmates, my dear close friends. I've felt choked up from signing my friends' yearbooks - trying to dig into all my memories for the things that meant most to me. I hope I can make it through to exam review day. That will be truly the last time I'll see many familiar faces.

And as always, thanks for reading.
