i visited ye olde CHS today. holy crap that was pretty much as weird as it gets. for starters, it took me three tries just to get into the parking lot. the old entrance now says do-not-enter, andthe old exit is a dead end. apparently the A-Building exit is now the official exit/entrance. now i've seen the renovated building from the outside, and even a little bit of the inside at the one-acts last year, but today was the first time i really got the chance to walk around. it's not renovated. it's rebuilt. i got lost, more than once. nobody's where they used to be. no, strike that, no DEPARTMENT is where it used to be. everything is different, and new, and big, and it was more than i could wrap my head around. plus there are a ton of new teachers and new classes i've never heard of (technology, entrepreneurship...). there's a new Martin Badoain Math Wing too. and yes, the old guy's still there. he claims he's retired but in my oppinion teaching three classes and running the math team (they won GBML, 3rd MML, and 1st New Englands for those who still care...) is anything but. four years of a yale education and i stil haven't had a teacher nearly as amazing as that guy. sousa's still there too,claiming "one more year" just like he did four years ago. he still has the same random pictures and news clippings, including one of me, which is tight. good to know you're remembered right? when asked how the new generation is doing he replied, "not nearly as good as you guys were. hell, you all got 5's! well, and one 4." fucking greg. i talked to sousa, badoain, sweeney, gaudette, michaelson, stenson, and donahue. didn't get to hit up french or english since their in A building now and there was a faculty meeting at the end of the day. so weird, so weird. everybody's so young! one teacher gave me the third degree in the hallway, not over whether i had a hall pass or something, but whether i signed in as a visitor. god, i dunno. the teachers i talked to were just as blown as away that i was graduating college as i was. oh how time flows...*tear.the CHS i knew is no more. it's now Canton University, and one by one all the old greats are retiring. not even the theater graffiti we left backstage remains. wow, i feel old.
