my little talks: oh dear i'm nearly in high school

High School

I'm scared because the first day of high school starts in exactly three weeks from now. This means goodbye gradeless (or in between grades) and hello sophomore year. Where, there's going to be more responsibility that involves college math, a college preparatory class, lots of homework, and maybe a club or two. Mix in NaNoWriMo in November and I'm going to need help sleeping properly.

Another reason why I’m scared is because it’s the final three years that I don’t have to worry much about anything. It is the final time that I have to worry about food; the final time to worry about having a roof over my head; and the last time to have plenty of free time to really go on the computer.

Soon three years will be over in no time, and I’ll find myself in a college or university somewhere in the world, studying. Only what will I study? How can I apply that to my writing? And how will I get the money to pay for my studies? Writing a book and publishing it takes years, and I doubt that I have years to pay it off then. There are scholarships, SATS, and possibly ACTS to worry about…

See, it’s still summer and school is already worrying me.

However, I’m slightly excited about going back to school. I’ll get to see friends that I’ve “promised” to see during the summer and meet some new ones (goodbyes to old ones are over by now.) There are interesting things to learn about like the Civil War or how to dissect a pig (interesting to learn but I don’t want to actually do it.) There are fun and nice teachers that can help me get into a good college (my older sister’s talks about college are starting to rub off onto me.) There are activities to do such as Spirit Week and Homecoming. Dances to go to that will either result in an awkward but fun time or a nice and still fun time. Clubs to join that can help extend my social circle and my resume/college application. Plus it lets me stay away from the computer most of the day, which is both good and bad. Also school will help me get my sleeping schedule back on track… hopefully.

So what about you, fellow viewers, readers, and people that have happened to chance onto my blog; are you excited and/or scared for school? Why? And when does school start for you? Comment below and if you happened to be the 175th commenter or somewhere close to it (because the 175th commenter might be me) then you get an award. I don’t know what the award is but hopefully it will be awesome.

Have an amazing day/night~

Love,

Only two more weeks

Till the last day of school comes, and I’m already sad thinking about it. Sure, I’m a bit happy, considering that it is the last day of school. And then three months of no schoolwork and you get bored. But you can stay up, sleep in late, and have fun.

Not unless you’re taking online schooling for the summer (like me -_-), then you’re not completely out of the ballpark for schoolwork. At least you won’t lose any of the information you learned in school, if you do take online schooling over the summer. It’s also the reason why the first part of school is just reviews, because teachers are trying to make you remember what you’ve lost during summer.

Now, I shall stop rambling about summer break, and just tell you guys why I’m sad that school is ending. It’s simply because it’s my last year at school. It’s the last time I’ll go walk the halls, have a half locker, and eat the lunch food. It’s also the last time that I’ll see the teachers that I’ve known since seventh grade. Practically much, it’s the last year of everything that I’m going to do there.

And that’s what makes me sad, knowing that it’s last year. It also scares me, knowing that I’m going to the actual high school next year. My just-barely-turned-into-a-sophomore head is probably going to explode from most of the work that I’ll receive. But I’m glad that I’m only going to be a sophomore next year, because they don’t receive really, really hard homework and have college pressures (yet).

However that eventually passes. So does college, and life, and everything else in between.

That includes being sad because it’s near my end at Jr. High. And I’ll probably be sadder when I’m finished with high school and college.

But enough with being sad, here’s something happy.
