Today is the parting ceremony for the form 5 girls in my school. Due to the maintaining works in our school hall, the ceremony has to be held in the cover playground. Form 4 students like me, and form 6 students needed to stand for a little more than 1 hour to attend this ceremony while the form 1 to from 3 students only need to stay in their classrooms to view the broadcast of this ceremony. At first, I don't really like this plan as it would be very tiring to stand on a place with no air-conditinoning or even fans in such hot weather. However, as I listened to what the girls said on the stage, I concentrated a lot as if I were one of those who will be leaving school after today. I could feel that the day for the parting ceremony for me, which will be coming next year, is getting very close. I was touched by some of the words the students and the principal said. In the past few years' form 5 and form 7 parting ceremony I could nevr feel why people are crying on the stage, is it really that great a matter of parting? Even we are not in the same school we can still keep in touch with each other, right? so there's nothing to feel sorrow. However, things seem to be different this year, maybe because it is going to be my turn to leave next year. I have no intention to continue my form 6 study in this school, as I have already decided to go to Britian to continue my studies after my HKCEE next year. Which means next year's form 5 parting ceremony will mark my last day studying in this school - St. Rose of Lima's College, and in Hong Kong. When one of the graduating class - form 5A sang a song with the lycis they made on their own about their school lives in the past two years with their classmates and teachers together, I feel really touched. I could imagine that my eyes will be full of tears the same day next year. I could understanding the feeling of sorrowful of departing, even I am a one that is not and never popular one in my class with only a few friends. However, I really look forward to go to other places to extend my view and learn more new things after my form 5 graduation, and start a new page of my life.
Maybe it might be too soon to worry about this, and things might have changed already during one-year time. At least, this is what I feel now...
PS. Sorry for my inactiveness these few weeks, I don't really feel like to do much apart from chatting online in msn. Hopefully I will get back to DA more often in the future
