As we go on we remember

Dear Class of 2011,

CONGRATULATIONS!
I am so so happy to graduate with all of you. Grad was the most amazing night and I wouldn't have wanted to trek through these three years with anyone else.Abe has been the best school I could have ever hoped for. The spirit that we have as a school is amazing, and the way we support everyone just proves what amazing people we have in our class. From Terry Fox, to benefit week, to mullets, to filthy Fridays, to musical theatre, to bro trips, to house parties, I will never forget any of it. Its hard to believe we only have 10 days left of highschool, 10 days left of public education that we've been working so hard towards for 13 years. This is life as we know it, and its all about to change. I'm excited to move on. But I hate that thought that we won't all see eachother everyday, and that some of you I might not see again. I love you alll. And I love ABE x 12. So, keep in touch, and lets party as hard as we did at grad because
WE DID IT!

Love,

Katie

Life is going swimmingly.
I feel pretty lately.
Someone told me I looked pretty the other day.
And then someone else agreed and said: yeah, you look smiley.

I like looking Smiley.I like being Smiley.I like being excited for the future, but also living in the moment.I like that I can't wait to go to university, but at the same time I am enjoying every minute I have left of highschool.I like singing.I like how much it means to me and I like the times when I realize that.I like all my classes and I like that I may just beat Billy in chem I juuust might.I like that I have rediscovered my love for the Beatles. I like that I have tanlines and I like that it is warm out. I like that I have a grad 'date' now.I like that I have rose scented mascara,and I love.lovelovelove being so happy.

It really is a great day to be alive.

My life goes on in endless song

I can't stop crying.

This choir has been such a huge part of my life for so long, its hard to believe what life will be like without it.Even for the rest of this year, Not seeing those faces that I am so lucky to sing with every week will be so hard to bear. I would never ever voluntarily leave.

In the finale of the mass, I was literally shaking. I was trying so hard to hold back the tears. And the song was so amazing it was taking over. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to say goodbye to. Leaving highschool is bad enough, but having to leave my second family almost makes me sick.

I love you. All of you.
I have learned so much singing with all of you, and I will miss it so so much.

I don't even know what I want to say anymore. I just can't believe it's over.
It just...can't be.
