Today was the first day of the school term. My last full term ever.

It’s a welcome shock. I realised this week that I’m looking forward to leaving school more and more as it approaches. I don’t know whether this is because the workload and pressure is building up or because, now the end is in sight, I can imagine the world beyond school.

There will be things I will miss about childhood and the schoolyard. There are things I’m afraid of in life ahead. I’m still working out where my life is heading. Yet despite all this, I’m excited! I may blog about some of this later, but at the moment, here are the top 6 things I’m looking forward to:

I can’t wait:
   7. For youth to start again (this Friday)
   6. To see my girlfriend
   5. For this Saturday (my 18th! Yew!)
   4. For school to be over
   3. PHAT 2008
   2. For summer! Bring it on!
   1. “Till He returns, or calls me home” (as the song “In Christ Alone” puts it)Summer is sweet!

What are you waiting for?

PS: 2 gold stars to the first person who can work out what the picture at the top has to do with anything. Don’t hurt yourselves!
