ok so after graduation i thought that i wasnt going to write in here again about this year but when i got in from florida last night i realized that i HAD to write something!   This week was absolutely amazing! Florida was hot and sunny and beautiful and it was just a party in general! There are so many things that i will always remember....miniminimee, "the rules" by me and palardy, clapping it up (everywhere), "where are my hussies and hoochies", "Have a Magical Day", and all of the other wacked up things we said. 

And do you know how many BRITISH PEOPLE are down in disney???? its a frickin british invasion! its outta control! hahaha and joe was loving it! So many different peoples and languages!

But seriously i had the best time ever and it was so sad to leave! but last night our flight was delayed like 2 hrs and it was crazy. I hope that the girls are enjoying their last day there!  We had so much fun with them and i am so glad that they were down with us.  It was cool to meet up with people and hang out and eat or watch a show with them.  OH AND TO ANYONE WHO GOES ON SPACE MOUNTAIN WITH TAMMY, DONT SIT IN FRONT OF HER! damn girl i cant believe that you had a voice after that!

But thanks to my roomates! it was so amazing how i practically didnt know most of you and now we are such great friends! ~Mike~Joe~Palardy~Kev~John~Steve-O~ i cant wait till "swaight" SW08!!!!

"There's a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow"

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
Shinin' at the end of ev'ry day
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream away

Man has a dream and that's the start
He follows his dream with mind and heart
And when it becomes a reality
It's a dream come true for you and me

So there's a great big beautiful tomorrow
Shinin' at the end of ev'ry day
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow
Just a dream away

i'll miss all of the great times we spent together and treasure those moments for the rest of my life. Thanks to everyone who made SW04 absolutely AMAZING!

So it happened.  Four years of high school has officially ended and will forever be in my memory.  Yesterday was graduation and it was so weird.  You think that you are going to feel all different when the day comes, that you will feel completely grown up, that you will feel a sense of closure.  Hmmmm, i didnt quite get that.  It felt like a normal day.  It was weird, and it went so quickly.  I've sat at many other graduations and it has felt so much longer before.  But it was a great run, these past four years were amazing.  Just as everyone says, "These are the best times of your life."  Its kinda depressing though to think that the "best days" are over! im sure that there will be plenty of more good days to look foward to! Yea so yesterday i decorated the truck for when we drove up to Villanova.  and then my grandparents and great-grandmother came up and we left for graduation.  It was so weird to see everyone there in their caps and gowns when we got there. Then graduation took place.  Afterward we went to the Drake Tavern in Jenkintown.  I've never been there before but it was really nice.  and then i came home and tried to go to bed! but i wasnt able to sleep.  So i watched the news and saw Wood on Ch.6 at 11.  it was cool to see the people who i went to school with on TV.  (notice the WENT!) o gees.  Yea well now high school is over and i am opening a new chapter in my life.  This door has closed but hopefully the friendships will stay.  There are so many people who i am going to miss next year.  They know who they are.  But even the fact that i wont be able to walk down a hallway to say hello is going to affect me.  You guys were my first set of true friends.  And i'll always remember you! always keep in touch! and come and vist me at UD!

~matt~

   May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields
and, Until we meet again
May God hold you in the palm of His hand
--An Irish Blessing

GREEN DAY LYRICS

"Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)"

Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test, and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.
I hope you had the time of your life.

last night was by far so amazing! i had such a great time! you may wonder what it was that i did on a wednesday night........well i went CHALKING! Myself, mike, riss, tsean, lauren, kaitlin, and laura went to wood and chalked up the band parking lot! it was so amazing and so much fun! but the best part wasnt the chalking, rather the valuable time i spent with the people that i truly dont think i can part with.  I will miss these people so much next year and i am so happy that i shared this experience with them!   So yea we chalked, we talked, and we had a party! it was great, and i wouldnt trade that time with anything in the world.  UNFORTUNATELY however, it so happens that it rained last night! which majorly sucks because NO ONE BESIDES US SAW THE CHALKING! o gees! in someways im mad about that, but hey, now we cant get in trouble! we have a many pictures anyway! hopefully they will all turn out! well thats about all! tonight is baccalaureatte.  and then i start working at UMSC on Sat. morning! Tuesday is gradutaion!  Guess what guys......the end is near.....its practically here!

~Matt~

ps. do you know what i was thinking..........

"its the end of the world as we know it" hmmmm but i dont feel so fine.

hey! alot has happened since i last wrote.  I had my last Honors Convocation to sing at the Cathedral on Tuesday.  Then on Thursday I was off, so i went to mass and cut the grass.  Later that evening i had concert band at school.  Friday i had my last assesment! it was grrreat! and that was my last day of school!  but also .  hmm o well.  Then that afternoon Marissa and i went out and ordered Z's gift~the jacket, and then we went to pick up scott and chad's trophies, all for the banquet. Friday night was the senior farwell dance.  There was like no one there! it was so empty.  But it was fun.  So0o0o0o0o0o hott though.  Afterward I went to fridays with a bunch of people.  it was a good time.  Then saturday, i had a meeting at UMSC for my job.  and i went to mass with my fam and then headed to the Holiday Inn Select in Trevose for the band banquet.  The banquet was so nice.  Most of the seniors sat together which was nice.  we ate, then gave presentations: first, the drumline gave recognition to their seniors, i got this cool picture frame with a picture of the drumline in it! it was really thoughtful, im going to miss that program so much! then, the dL seniors gave recognition to scott and chad.  Then all of the seniors did a little speech to each of their instructors.  It was really nice and personal.  However, matt had NO IDEA what to say, so he tried to make something poignant up.  Then the seniors gave Z the band gift ~his jacket (not in yet)~  then scott gave his instructors awards to lauren, mike, ian, and ryan. After that Z gave out the senior gift, and then announced the officers for next year. Congratulations to everyone who got a position! and then we danced! which was great! and took sooooooo many pictures that it was out of control! then on sunday i had the spring concert with was good.  This week is going to go so fast! im off today, tomorrow, i have grad practice on wed., im off thurs. but have baccalaureatte at night, and then im off friday, sat., sun., mon., and then i graduate tuesday! o gees its going so fast! i cant believe it!

ok so alot has happened since my last entry so here it goes!

PROM......... was so much fun. Had the day off from school, got all ready and headed over to Laura's.  Of course i was last to arrive.  At her house we took lots of pictures.  Then off to Kings! It was alot better than i had expected. It was really nice and i got my pics in the big chair.  fun fun.  Then i danced the night away, im mad however, that i didnt take too many pics (if any) during the prom! im so stupid! o well but it was great! and i didnt want it to end, but it went so fast.  Its hard to believe that these will be the times that we will remember forever.  Afterward we went back to ashleys and i passed out...too much dancing....and then the next day we woke up and left for wildwood! I was the back seat navigator since no one could read directions. o gees! but we got down there all okay.  So we headed to the beach...ashley, sean, cait, laura, me, krista, and mike.  It was a good time.  Then after that we went back to laura's got changed and went to the boardwalk.  Then we broke up.  Cait, Laura, and myself went to the house we were staying at on 17th street, Sean and Ashley stayed on the boardwalk, and Krista and Mike headed home.  At the end of the night we ended back up at Laura's house. 

And that was my prom weekend!

And then yesterday was the last day of classes. It was so weird cause it didnt seem like the last day at all! it was so weird! Im so excited to go to college, but im still so reluctant to leave wood.  Im going to miss it alot and all but i know i have to move on. 

5 days until that day. o gees!

well i gtg ttyl! ~matt~

Sarah Mclachlan - I Will Rember You

Lyrics Transcribed by Leonie's Team Member - SftblChik


I will remember you, will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

Remember the good times that we had?
I let them slip away from us when things got bad
How clearly I first saw you smilin' in the sun
Wanna feel your warmth upon me
I wanna be the one

I will remember you
Will you remember you?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside
But we can't be heard

But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories

I'm so afraid to love you
But more afraid to lose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness
Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Oh you gave me light

And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
Weep not for the memories
