Thoughts On What's To Come

I feel the need to blog as I sit here at 2:26 in the morning, and for some reason, here seems like a more appropriate place to do this than Tumblr. Not entirely sure why this is. Maybe because pretty much all of my friends that have Tumblr also have a separate blog on which they actually... y'know, post stuff. Either way, I'm here, so let's get this party started!

I am now officially a senior in high school, and I gotta say, it is an increeedibly awkward transitional stage I'm in the middle of right now. I mean, on one hand, I cannot wait to graduate and get the hell out of here come June 14th, 2010. (Yes! I already know the date of my graduation! Yaaay!) But on the other hand, I feel like this is my last year entirely absorbed in the city I've spent nearly all of my life in. More than anything, I'm slowly becoming more aware that this is the last time I have guaranteed to spend with my best friends, and I really just wanna make the most of every opportunity.

But dear GOD, I am so sick of high school.

Frankly, I've been pretty much done with this shit since Sophomore year. I mean, I've at least gotten to the point that I'm working hard to do well in my classes, but as far as the whole education thing goes, I'm totally ready to move on to the next thing. This year's still gonna be REALLY hard though. Most people sign up for all the easy classes their senior year, right? Somehow I got stuck in FOUR advanced classes: College Prep Chemistry, AP Literature, AP Statistics, and CIS Spanish 4.* So far, I think I can do it, but I also think it's safe to say that this year's gonna be pretty hellish at points. On top of school, I also have a part-time job, I'm on the leadership team for my church's senior high youth group, I'm writing for Every Girl Blog, and I'm starting the first-ever Twin Cities chapter of the HP Alliance. That is a LOT going on.

Actually, I'm starting to get nervous. The problem is, I'm not sure I can balance school and all of these things I love to do, while STILL making the most out of everything I can. But I guess only time can tell, and we'll just have to wait and see, huh?

* For those of you who don't know, CIS stands for College In The Schools. I get 5 college credits from the U of M each semester. 8DD
