Very randomly, we somehow arrived upon buying 2 new pairs of Louboutins. Both are the same, but one is black, one is pink.

The pink:

And the black are exactly the same too. They've been around for a while, but my sis has wanted them for aaages and we thought they were sold out in Oz, but alas, no they weren't! So now we're the proud owners of two pairs. The plan was at first to just buy the black. And so we did. But then, we couldn't do without the pink either, so we bought both to let our mum decide which colour is nicer. Ultimately though, they are so utterly comfortable, despite being 4 inches, so they're keepers. If possible, we would keep both, but I don't think my mum would be too happy to hear that.

So, the countdown nearly draws to a close. Its strange that in a way, we've been counting down to this moment for the whole of our high school lives, just that, the time seemed to tick by so much slower then in comparison to these last, precious moments.

In a sense, I really don't know what to think or what to say. Everything is just so cliched. We say our farewells, we promise to keep in touch, we all cry, become emotional, get really upset, and then, we just kind of....leave? There kind of isn't anything else to it.

As much as I do want to stay in school, and remain the same revered 'senior' i've been for the past few years, I know that I have to leave this chapter of my life behind and just move on. There's too much holding me back, and this is what I'm excited about leaving behind.

I'm sad to leave the comfort zone of school - the schedule we've become so used to, the teachers, the environment, and just feeling like we exist in such a closed world.

I'm sad to leave the familiar faces, the few 'friends' and being able to just be so stupid, rowdy and fun.

Most of all, I'm sad to leave childhood memories, and the realm of youth, in a sense. I'm sad to leave behind those precious years which comprise of so many memories (both good and bad), and so many moments to be remembered.

And, I'm really scared that I'll forget it all too soon. There are so many things I do want to forget, but unfortunately, I think those are the things that will remain with me.

But, on the positive side, I'm glad to be moving on, and going into a different world, one whcih is hopefully more exciting and fruitful.

As much as I want to cherish every moment of those sad goodbyes and the countdown to the end, I do look forward to the beginning of the rest of our lives.

The 6 years have been great. Despite the many hard times, the times I want to forget, I know tomorrow will be hard. Emotional, draining, and hard.

And it will go by in a flash, and before we know it, we'll have left school forever.
