You know, I just started sophomore year on monday! It's been exciting to be back, and seeing all the faces I've missed terribly. I must apologize for the lack of entry, since I've been SO exhausted, and SO overwhelmed lately. I've had to fix up some rough patches, figure out how to deal with some awesome and some not-so-awesome classes, and realize a few things :). But, I still really want to keep this blog up, even if the days are more spaced out until I write again.
I am psyched for Soph year, man. Not because I'm not considered 'Freshman' or because I don't have to take the same old classes, but because it's a new, fresh start. At this point, I'm able to brush off the stress of last year, and take on a hell of a lot of new stress overwhelming me this year! Haha (she says sarcastically). But still! Isn't it great to know that you have a whole new school year ahead of you? And in my case, it brings me closer to the end of my high school career. Before I know it, I'll be prestigiously walking on the stage in a huge stadium with various parents, peers, and people I have never met a day in my life screaming and cheering for me, and I'll finally acknowledge the fact that another year has gone by, and months from then I'd be in college.
Time flies, huh? It's insane.
So, since I've dealt with counselors who should pretty much hate me by now, and at least one teacher who hated me the minute I walked through the door, I've at least tried to make an effort to see the people whom I don't have classes with this year, so I don't loose touch with them. That's the one thing that disappoints me about moving into a new school year; having to start over with friendships. I know I wouldn't have any friends if that really, truly bothered me, but still! It's harder than you think to keep as awesome of relationships with friends from school, when it's such a big school, and you have no classes together. But I'm doing all I can!
I only hope for the best for all of the incoming Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, and to all of the kiddos I know going to college in the fall, GOOD LUCK; don't loose touch :)
Sophomore year, here. I. come.
