Graduation: Class of 2004

Postby Ashley » Mon May 03, 2004 7:14 pm

Alright guys, I personally am eaten up with senioritis, and I'm wondering who else out there is feeling the itch.

I have just 3 short weeks left til my own high school graduation, thank God Almighty! May 28th's the big day. Although my class is HUGE! I'm #61 out of 700. Yowsah! Long ceremony, I'm telling ya...

Anyway, your turn. Class of '04, give a shout!

M.A.Sc Electrical Engineering 2004, McMaster University. Does that count? ;)
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

If you're walking to pomp and circumstance sometime this year and getting a fancified piece of paper, it counts. :lol:

I love the senior shirt last year: "I spent 2859 (or some equally long number) hours at school for a piece of paper?!"

Well congrats Ash and anyone else for that matter who graduates. I was apart of the 2000 class. I won't be graduating until next spring from university so I still got a while. Let us not also forget, that piece of paper is a education or so it is claimed to be. ^_^

I would be technically graduating this year if it wasn't for that stupid Mississippi school that held me back in Kindergarten. I do hope that principal is still there when I go back for old memories sake. :evil:

Thank you to all the congrats guys.

At least my school's letting us seniors take our finals early AND exempt any class we qualify for. So for the week prior to graduation, I'll be sleeping in and reading quite a bit, then out Wednesday, practice Thursday, and pray I don't trip Friday!

Congrats to those who went through HS. *salutes*

Well, my story is different... *laughs* Not many people know about this here, but I left High school on March 13, 2004. No, I wasn't failing... I had strait "A"s, mind you. I voluntarily left after I felt I wasn't accomplishing much, learning much, and becoming rather lazy. So, I deiced to go for my GED and start college in January '05. So far, I've taken the GED pre-test and it was a walk in the park. I'm taking the real thing at the end of May... so, I'll be Graduating to College the quiet way. In my opinion... public high is a waste... (for me at least.) I'm attending to the same College I would be, Greenville Tech., either way. Yes, I did learn a lot in High School... not about academics, but about people and how they are.

Anyways, Congrats. :thumb:

Hehe quite true.

Some reasons why:

1) We have former Mr. Universe as our governor

and

2) Cali's the only place where there's a porn store...right across from a Catholic School :eyeroll:

Hehe...

Graduation is another month away for me the middle of June sometime... AP test for calc. t'morrow, but I gave up caring a few weeks ago (okay so senioritis hit last year) ;) . The nice thing about public school (and there aren't many) is that I got to take a nap in english today :jump: . Anyway congrats to all the other graduating people.
