It's hard to believe that this is my last 2 days in 7/8T, and last 3 days at this fantastic school.

I don't think it's hit me yet.

I'm not sure if it will for a long time. 

This is my fifth year at Wellesley, and this has been the best five years of my life. My time in 7/8T has been especially good. Mr. Tait is a fantastic teacher, and while he doesn't do much teaching, I've learned more under him than the rest of my time at Wellesley. And this isn't just because of the Independent Studies, either. Mr. Tait is truly preparing you for college, with how to research, why you shouldn't waste your time early on, because you'll get caught up in other things. 

Wellington College will be interesting. It sounds great, but it'll be strange being around 18 year olds that need a shave every day. 

The Book Thief was a fantastic book, and was very well written. You can see why it was such a successful book. 

And for the maxim, I have to say...

"Get the ball rolling and keep it rolling the whole year long."

The second you fail to do this, you get put under a bit of pressure. And when it builds up, it gets really difficult. Just ask Sam :)
