25 Things I'll Miss About Cornerstone.

So, in order to help combat senioritus the last month on school, I recorded 25 things I'll miss about CCA (of course some sarcastic ones are thrown in there for good measure). These are in no particular order.


1. Hearing cows moo (most of them sound as if they're dying) as you walk outside to your car.

2. Having the freedom to relocate class to outside if the weather is nice.

3. Being able to walk down the hallway and know the name of every single person you pass.

4. Spending an entire class period talking about something completely unrelated to what you're supposed to be learning. And usually the topic of conversation is your teacher's kids or food.

5. Being close friends with teachers.

6. The crazy fluctuating temperature of the building. . . it always is either hot or cold (mostly cold), but NEVER in between.

7. Being able to walk into my principal's office not because I'm in trouble but just because I feel like having a friendly conversation with her.

8. Watching God work miracles in providing finances for the school.

9. Playing Uno nearly every day in study hall.

10. Packing a lunch every morning (NOT).

11. Doing crazy exercises/illustrations (example: making a balloon sing Mary Had A Little Lamb).

12. Knowing your teachers so well that it's not disrespectful to be sarcastic and mock them.

13. Having meetings during lunch to dig into God's Word, share what he's teaching us, and pray.

14. Going into a room previously inhabited by junior highers and being hit by a wave of body heat and body odor (this might top the list of things I will NOT miss).

15. Driving through the minefield of potholes the size of Lake Michigan in the back parking lot.

16. Off-subject days in Bible class (yes, these are actually planned to be off-topic).

17. Having to walk out in the middle of cornfields for fire drills - which always happen to be on freezing cold days.

18. Being greeted by little 1st graders in the hallway on my way to class.

19. Having days when we all bring in food to class, just for the fun of it.

20. Getting together with a few people every Friday morning before school to pray.

21. The flexibility of teachers in having their classes interrupted (or entirely missed...)

22. Taking a large portion of class time just to pray.

23. Passing the horse/sheep farm every morning on my way to school. 

24. Last day of school rituals with turning in books and having our final assembly with the slideshow of the year.

25. My crazy, unique classmates who have become like a weird type of family to me.
