Little Things

I'm finally done with high school. I hated that place.

The emotions I have about it all ending do not exist. Well...

That's not true, is it? Because there are little things that I will miss.
Hearing Jenna's outbursts, and conversations with herself.

Mr. Johnson's comments.

Mrs. Cardona's sarcasm.
Conversations with Sarah during the car-ride home.

Seeing friends in the hallway and making that wide-mouthed-surprised-face at them.
Senioritis, yo.

Making Karl escort me to class for fear of drowning or being trampled or being elbowed in the face.

Having a "secret handshake" with Sean.
Freewrite Friday.
Talking about hot girls with Fatima.

Max irritating Mr. Thompson. 

Discovering tumblr is not a blocked website on the school computers.
Advisory.

Lunch with Ellen Stowe.

Those are the things I will miss. Those were the things that made a difference. 

Those were the little things that made the big thing of Wayzata High School incrementally less awful, each day. 

And summer, which has seemingly only just begun, is already starting to die as we make an "x" on each quickly passing day...it brings me closer to this new big thing of Iowa State University. And what little things are going to make up that experience?
