School songs...

I'm going to miss the old place. I already do. So I guess it's time to recall all the old songs. Let's begin.

Vivat Haileyburia!

In altera terra though we’re set,
Vivat Haileyburia!
The older school we’ll not forget
Vivat Haileyburia!
United still by crest and name, ‘
Lift up your hearts’
in song proclaim,
and show forth Haileyburia’s fame,
Vivat Haileyburia!

 

Then shout a thousand voices all,
Vivat Haileyburia!
Our Shool of old we now recall
Vivat Haileyburia!
But whatso’er their fame of youre,
We’ve yet a mind to make it more,
Our age of gold still lies before
Vivat Haileyburia!
Then Vivat, Vivat round the board,
Vivat Haileyburia!
And yet once more with louder chord,
Vivat Haileyburia!
For we’ve been boys and men together,
Have weilded bat and hunted leather,
When life was bliss in summer weather,
Vivat Haileyburia!

Then close your ranks and lift your song,
Vivat Haileyburia!
That life is short, but love is long;
Vivat Haileyburia!
And all through life, where’er we be,
School of our hearts we’ll think of thee,
And drink the toast with three times three,
Vivat Haileyburia!

Jerusalem

 

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.

Gaudeamus Igitur

Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus.
Gaudeamus igitur,
Juvenes dum sumus.
Post jucundam juventutem,
Post molestam senectutem
Nos habebit humus.
Nos habebit humus.

Vivat Academia!
Vivant Professores!
Vivat Academia!
Vivant Professores!
Vivat membrum quodlibet
Vivant membra wuaelibet,
Semper sint in flore!
Semper sint in flore!

Felices discipuli
Haileyburienses
Audaces discupuli
Haileyburienses
Floreat pulcherrima
Domus celeberrima
Alma mater nostra
Altera in terra.

So much has happened.

I'm not exactly sure where to start.

Well, I graduated. I'm no longer a student. Graduation day was full of fun memories I plan to cherish, as well as regrets of things I'll never get the chance to do again. The tear-filled speeches made through out the day, the fear of never seeing my friends again.

Valedictory dinner was amazing. Foyster's speeches, the Student speeches, Framey's speech, Scotty's speech and the Teacher band was awesome. And screaming Jerusalem at the end, our own rendition will be something I never forget.

Now on to today:

This morning I found an email from Shannyn. She's coming to Melbourne. Soon. She wants to meet up.

I don't know that I could. She still has a boyfriend. I can't handle that. Seeing her, physically would make it real. I can't handle that. I don't want to go back to the way I was. Back to the miserable, confused wreck I was. And I was a wreck.

I loved her, and she broke my heart. More than once. I'd love to see her, to hold her. To try and make things work. But I know that doing so would be the biggest mistake of my life.

No. I can't do it. I can't go back to her.

Qantm Interview:

The interview was great. The interveiwer was awesome. She made me feel much more confident about it. I'm the "perfect candidate" for Games Design, and of the potential Games Designers she'd seen I "was the best [she'd] seen". I got a tour of the campus. Which was incredibly small, but the people there were having fun making games and it looked like the place I wanted to be.

The Five Greatest Warriors. Matthew Reilly's new book. I got a signed copy. It's awesome.
