“This self portrait of Polish artist Pawel Althamer has been erected outside the Palazzina Appiani in Parco Sempione, Milan’s main park. It is claimed the floating model has attracted more than 3,000 visitors since it was installed on Monday.”

“And now, the end is near…”
How fast has this year gone?! You get bored of everyone saying,
“Oh, this year’ll fly by”, and you just nod and agree but don’t really give it a second thought. But sadly, it is true.
The final stages of education at Wath are here. Everyday another year group seem to be leaving, and with the Y12s gone on Friday, the common room will seem deserted (although cleaner I must admit). I’ve been wondering all year what leaving would feel like, and I have to say I think it’s affecting me more than I thought it would. The inevitable realisation of leaving all my friends to make a new life at uni is terrifying, and yet I’m really looking forward to living in Hull. Remembering how scared I was moving from Primary School to Secondary School isn’t a comfort, at least I was moving with friends.
But, even though I sound depressed and all ’emo’ like, I’m not.
Still, I am apprehensive about uni and I realise I will be until the day i get there, all I have to do then is make some new friends!
Everyone is saying that they can’t wait for uni, to move out from their parents and to start a new life with new people away from Wath, being scared of this prospect seems to be taboo amongst peers, so I hope I’m not the only one who feels like this.
Anyway, I know that once I am there, making new friends and forgetting about Wath, not much of what i have just said will still stand true. It’s that first hurdle that I need to get over.
So, on the Friday that we leave, when we are having our ‘do’ (Mr Naylor, the backboneless Taylor), goodbyes will be flying round the common room and to be honest I’m not looking forward to this either. For some people, it will be the last time I see them, and I’ve never had to say goodbye in such a situation as that.
But, as Frank said, the end is definetly near, and all we’re waiting for now is that
‘final curtain’.
