One Week

One week to the day I begin HSC. Friday October 15..
The HSC, these exams that apparently hold my future. My whole future in those lined sheets of paper. It's the end and the beginning.
As much as every inch of my body is dreading the hours i will spend sitting at a desk that is too small, in an uncomfortable plastic chair it will bring me closer to finishing school, officially, forever. As much as i want to get out that place i will miss it, so very much.
I've gone to school for 13 years of my 17 years of life. That's more than half, well more than half.
Everything's changing right now it's hard to find something constant, something unchanging in my life and those things that are, i'm holding onto dearly...

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
