It's been a long 13 years

Well, after thirteen years of seeing the same 303 faces each and every day minus the weekends and summer, it's all over.  We cried when we started school the August of 1998, we cried when we "graduated" from elementary school the May of 2004, we cried the summer after sixth grade when redistricting happened, we cried June 2007 when we got out of middle school, we cried that August when we realized we were reunited with our best friends.
May 25, 2011 not a one of us cried.  We're happy to finally be done.  We've got lives ahead of us.  This chapter is over.  Tonight, May 28, 2001, we will again -- and for the last time -- cry together.  I'm not sure if I'm ready.
