Well technically, yesterday since it is now past midnight here. But I did my calculations on the calendar to get the exact date earlier in the month and figured out the date. Friday June 25, 2004 was the day my class left the playground of primary school for the very last time. I still remember those days so clearly and vividly. The last day I remember getting my white school polo shirt signed by teachers and other pupils. I wish I had kept it. I kinda wish we had all made a bigger deal of leaving, after the bell rang we all just kinda left without saying a proper goodbye or anything. But the majority of us lived or still live in the same area so it wasn't too much of a big deal, lol.
Later that evening I just went out with my mischievous friend William who had just moved here about 9 months prior. Myself, him and his younger brother Kevin got up to a lot of no good that summer. Summer 2004 was an extremely eventful time. I think the last time I seen William was perhaps October 2004 when he moved away. In high school he became a bit of a trouble magnet but I'd still talk to him every now & then. I found him on Facebook like 2 years ago but he's since deleted his account. Last I checked he still seemed the same and looked the same but was keeping out of trouble and had a kid.
It's insane to me that 2004 was a decade ago, it barely feels like 2 years ago! At times I still feel like I'm 12 years old and that no time has went by at all since then.
I try to think what's changed in those 10 years. Nothing drastic. I still live in the same house with my mum just across the road from the school. I'm still wrestling obsessed, possibly the only one who never stopped loving it and my room's still full of wrestling stuff. At the same time, much has changed, I'm obviously older, 22 now - even if I look about 17, possibly 18 at most. I finished high school 6 years ago(and at first I was in no hurry to get into work, I just wanted to step back and have a bit of freedom), I've made a lot of new friends, I've met a bunch of wrestlers, been to a ton of WWE shows, done lots of cool things, made real life friends and online friends through Twitter, I've also formed a really cool friendship with Gail Kim - one of my favourite wrestlers ever - on Twitter over the last 3 years, I've been able to make money, been able to buy a ton of stuff and I currently have a job.
A lot of that stuff I could never do 10 years ago. While being a kid was some of the best times ever, there's also a ton of advantages in 2014 and I'd definitely rather be in the present day than go back to 2004.
So, with that rambling out of the way, anyone else finish primary school 10 years ago? Do you have any memories or stories you'd like to share about your primary school days? I would share mine but that would require a lot more time and I've rambled on long enough.
