Back to SCHOOL

YAY! I'm going back to MGS tomorrow!!!! I can't tell you how much I miss that school... and everyone in it. Even the teachers. Well, most of them, at least.

Even though it's only for prize-giving, I'll get to experience the uniquely MGS-ish atmosphere one more time. It's something that I took for granted for 5 years... and now I wish I could turn back the clock and do it all over again, one last time. Um. Minus all the exams of course!

I guess the fact that we all used to be so involved in school has contributed to this feeling of loss. From the Prefectorial Board right up to choir, school life was a never-ending cycle of planning and preparation. Which was always fun. Running here and there during school hours, looking for this person or that... (the prefects' uniform gave us plenty of leeway in that aspect :P).

The hours spent talking about "Maths" and boys and boys and boys and more boys (about how dumb they are la, basically :P) behind the class, falling asleep on the table and being called a zombie daily, the projects, the crazy Idol spoofs Ee May and Jenna regularly churned out... I miss all that. The closeness we all had. The bunch of friends I had in MGS are simply AMAZING. No doubt about THAT!

I miss our prefect uniform (yes, even that danged blazer! :P), I miss the morning assemblies, I miss being made to "brief"... I think I can still recall the general duties!! And the duties of some positions. Okay so I'm a nut. I use up my brainspace for completely unnecessary stuff. But darn it all - I miss it!

Choir. Now THAT'S probably the one activity I miss the most! My entire extra-curricular life revolved around the choir. The practices, the headaches, the tempers lost, the friends gained... It was all so worth the time and effort. I can't believe it's all over, that my last song's been sung and I shall never have the nerve-wreckingly amazing experience of performing with those plucky girls again. Sigh.

But it's back to MGS for one last official time. I shall make the most of it.

"Oh MGS our school most dear, we'll e'er recall with pride.."

Indeed. I can't believe I had to leave it to finally realize it.
