So it’s time.

Out for WKWSCIFOC’09. See y’all in a week.

Amazingly.

It’s funny how many nervous (excited) people there are in WKWSCI right now.

The freshies are worried about not being able to make friends.

The seniors are worried about not being able to give the freshies the best WKWSCIFOC ever.

And it will be, the best WKWSCIFOC ever. In Jesus name. Amen.

But it doesn’t stop us from being any less nervous!

We really just want the freshies to have the best, best possible time and be fully inducted into the Ways of Wee (okay I just came up with that).

There’s so many things I don’t like about the school. But what I do love about it supersedes everything else I dislike about it.

And the worst part is that, sometimes I just can’t put a finger on why I love this darn school so much.

Perhaps it is because it has given me so much room, and space to experiment, to try things out, to do something so vastly different from the structured regime of the past 12 years of my education that brings me such luscious liberation.

Maybe it’s the people, people with dreams as big, or bigger than mine to dream together, our flights of fancy not yet completely torn down by cynicism and reality.

I still remember how enthusiastically I sold the school during Open House and those other random days we had potential-freshies come down to school for the tour. At the back of my head I was thinking, ‘Wassup Liz, since when did you pledge your undying loyalty to this school after you’ve bitched about it so much.’

But most importantly, I remember telling everyone how they must come for FOC. And how I’m still disappointed when I get a Facebook message from a freshie who can’t come because of work or other commitments. Because WKWSCIFOC’08 was the best camp I ever attended. And I know that WKWSCIFOC’09 will be as good, or even better. So.

I’m excited. And nervous.

Hold your breath.

It’s going to be one heck of a ride.
