Today was back to day and I had the pleasure of going back to Edrington. It’s amazing to see exactly what has changed, and what has stayed the same. It was weird to be walking around somewhere so familiar yet so different but it was a great morning reminiscing about some of the great memories I have of Middle School. I must admit, I miss being in Middle School. There was so much less pressure, we went and played sport nearly every day and most importantly everyone knew each other. It was good to see some of the teachers that came back such as Ms. Stewart (who now works at Caulfield Grammar), Ms Ruse, Mr. Twist (now Vice Principal) and Mr. Bennett (Dean of Staff). We also spent ages talking about some of the other teachers like Mr. Edgoose and his $350 canteen tab (made up primarily of Dim Sims), Mr. Clayton and the time he got his keys stuck in the roof, Mr. Shiell and his overall enthusiasm for the subjects he taught and Ms. Watts for her, well, controversy.

We then went back to Keysborough on what would be our last ever bus trip together as the Berwick boys, and it was off to class then the OHA lunch. Then finally the Year 12 review which was funny as always (although the problems with the video caused many of the jokes to be ruined). Now there is only two more days of school until we graduate and I suppose it has hit me that in 3 days time everything that I enjoy the most about my life will be gone. Although I won’t lose touch with Haileybury it will never be the same with everyone gone.
