I’m not sure any of us are actually excited anymore about going to school once again, but at least we have a slack day today. (Okay you muggers, maybe you actually miss school for all the wrong reasons)
Today is not only the first day of school, it is also Mr Farmely’s farewell ceremony.
The Farmely Man is officially leaving.
Not that we don’t already know, so in other words we are quite prepared for it.
It also means that Super Mario is coming to lead us. Some of you will enjoy his term in the last year, and some of you not so much. But whatever the case, we will have a smooth transition.
Indeed Mr Farmely’s send off wasn’t too glamorous, going by the standards of the other events in our school. No extensive media coverage, thought at least he had a drive-by send off (in a topless peugeot). We didn’t get to shake his hand, we didn’t get into a picture with him, we didn’t chase his car, but we all know we were there, and we all know we know him. Sometimes, it really isn’t what you do, but what you know, and what everyone else knows you know.
We will miss him.
