End of High school
So today was the official end of my high school. The most important years in a teenagers life have come to an end.
Today was really crazy (like the last two days). Everybody was throwing around confetti and I spent the last half an hour vacuuming them. I was covered in confetti, from skirt, shirt even down to panties!!!!
The last subjects we had on schedule were physics and maths (both of the subjects that weren't so popular in our class, but I liked them). The teachers were really nice to us and all of the students who had something left to answer finished that successfully. So I was glad.
After the formal schedule we had one last hour with the teacher responsible for our class. We all gave her a gift which was chocolate pralines and Swarovski earrings (that made her really happy because it is her wish to marry wearing Swarovski earrings awwwwwwwwww.......). After that we all went to party in the big hall. Everybody was singing and dancing in a circle (though that really got a bit boring, I don't like that kind of music nor dancing so I took pictures. I would have been happier if there was a band playing). So then we had our presentation of our class in form of a slideshow with music (there was one part where this some ballad was playing and almost everybody started crying. Except me who has got the EQ of a volcano: most of the time cold, but with rare, sudden, destructive eruptions). All of the graduating classes presented themselves (other classes were really hardcore, especially with their poems dedicated to the teachers which were, well.... ouch!).
After that we had a small pause (our math teacher showered us all with confetti; she is the rockstar among the teachers!) before our class went on breaking the record in the biggest synchronised dance with other classes of our region. The most interesting thing was that I wasn't a bit nervous; I was so relaxed as though I have done that for thousands of times. All the dancers joined together atfer the dance and gave one last bow. It was fun though my head was pulsing from all the high-pitched, head piercing whistling. I sware I need one week of comeplete audio isolation to recover from this.
So now I should say something about my high-school experience but then again I really don't know what to say. I somehow haven't really realized that it is all over.
- I passed all classes with the average grade of 4.9 (1 is the lowest grade in Croatia (something like F), while 5 is the highest grade in Croatia (like A).) The only subject I had 4 through all the four years was math, not because I didn't know it or was weak in it, but because I couldn't concentrate during the exams. I knew for 5, but my concentration wouldn't let me get more than 4 :(.
- In all the 4 years I got 1 only twice. Both times at math. First time because I had 3 region competitions in one week (English, Latin and chemistry) so I didin't have the time to study and the second time a month ago because I screwed up a task in the test that brought most of the points.
- I liked all the school subjects, but mostly computers and other subjects where we did nothing :)
- I was a real whiz kid (highest notes in all subjects, except maths), which often isn't the best thing to be because people have high expectations from you and are surprised if you sometimes don't match up to them. And you try less: the only subject I really gave my best in was math, primary because I had a 4 in it. That is bad because you never get the habit to learn a lot.
- I never had summer holidays. I spent all of them working on my 150 pages manga and on the sea. I never really enjoyed the fullest of it.
- I came into the school with the promise that I won't become a metalhead/punk/rocker. The promise lasted until the third class when it was brutally broken. Though I didn't have anything against it :). Rule: The first promises that you're going to brake are the ones you give to yourself.
- I started listening to J-rock and Visual kei in the third class. My high-school metamorphosis and probably the best thing that happened in my high school.
- I didn't have a high school sweetheart.
- I changed teachers from various subjects at leats 20 times. It was kinda hard at the begining, but in the end we got used to it.
- I alway wanted the higher locker which unfortunately belonged to my sister.
- I never ditched class. Yes I know I'm a nerd but I was always rebellious in a way that I went against almost everything my class was for.
- I liked field-trips and wished there could have been more of them.
But I'll never forget high-school. That is something one can't possibly forget :).

The entry exam features biology (which is so-so, but it sometimes really does get into the details), chemistry (I love chemistry and I don't have so many problems with it) and physics (which is basically easy but requires knowledge of over 30 formulas by heart so that is the tricky and hard part).
I'll give my best :D.
a nerd ha?^_^
what do you want to do after that? you know already?
