The End - Kara Gets Sappy

Guys ........ We survived IB.

Also, derpedyderpderp is fairly accurate summary of the past two years. Particularly Theory of Knowledge.
What in the FUCK is a knowledge issue?! I STILL DON'T KNOW.

Seriously, though, we made it. What's more, we made it without anyone killing themselves (Sarah), becoming a terrorist (Laura May), or being murdered by the rest of the class for extra points (me).  It's all over, and there's nothing more to worry about... July 6th is over a month away, and besides, even if we failed, it's not like we can do anything about it now! :)

The end of IB is something that I think I can safely say we've ALL been looking forward to since, oh, September 2010?  But now that it's finally here, it's kind of bittersweet. No, I am not going to miss staying up until 7AM to analyse Maya Angelou's works or that oh-shit feeling I got during every mot-du-jour test when I realised I couldn't remember any of the words. But as I'm sitting here in my bed, staring at the empty spot on my floor where my biology/chemistry/math textbooks used to sit, I can't help but feel a little bit nostalgic.

No more cringeworthy and occasionally disturbing videos in chem class.
No more dancing on tables at lunch time.
No more being growled at by Mr. Stewart.
No more life advice in the middle of bio with Ms. Wood (remember, penis size does not matter).
No more pretending we got something out of ToK to appease Mr. Green during presentations.
No more 4AM tweets about how we should be studying.
No more trips to Neptune Theatre with annoying girls who will not put their phones away.
No more dirty looks from academic students who don't understand what they're missing.

No more of Laura May's random giggles disrupting a more or less silent classroom.
No more of Sarah's incessant desire for McDonald's.
No more of Jen's quiet helpfulness (always the first to offer a pen to a classmate in need!)
No more of B. Pye's LIVESTRONG obsession.
No more of Hannah's eagerness to help others in math class.
No more of Kara's wheelz. (By the way, I've decided that page needs to go back up on the blog, for posterity.)
No more of Holly's tendency to always know what's up.
No more of Catherine's strange voices/accents that seem to be contagious.
No more of Bodo's rants about Tim Horton's.
No more of Morgan's ability to maintain her personal style, even when the rest of us say "fuck it, it's time to live in sweatpants."
No more of Stuart's stress over oral presentations (even though he always did a wonderful job).
No more of Wigg's laid-back, not-giving-a-fuck attitude.

No more IB.

Honestly, I am going to miss you guys so much. I know it's unlikely that we'll all stay in touch, but I also know that I will never forget NRHS IB 2012. I wouldn't be who I am right now if it wasn't for the influence of each and every one of you.

Bon chance!

Countdown is over??????

Guys, there's no more countdown. We're actually done. Like, right now. Done. Done high school. Done IB. Done with IA's, IOP's, IOC's and EE's. Hell, most of us are done with Pictou County. Is anyone else finding this utterly surreal?

Chemmychemchem, and also Stewie Griffin.

Why oh why am I not studying, chemistry papers one and two are tomorrow .. GAAAAHHHH.

Last night I was watching Family Guy, and since this particular episode was set mostly in France, I'll say that I was preparing for the French exam. Stewie and Brian arrive in Paris, and Stewie says "I thought Paris would be a bit more picturesque.  It's just traffic and a guy with a jackhammer."
Then the guy with the jackhammer says "oh, no, monsieur, it is pronounced 'jaqueshammer.'"

.. I thought it was kind of hilarious.

ANYWAY, I guess I really should go learn what enthalpy is.
Happy studying, folks.
