Oops!

Well, you know how I'd said that I was going to blog everyday? That obviously didn't happen and I apologize. Things have been busy but amazing here. School is going great. Oh, and Katie apologized. I can't believe it. Never in a million years did I expect it and that makes it ten times better! I'm so happy. This has been the best year of my life so far. It's great and I'm loving it. Ah, I don't know what more to say. I am content and happy. I never realized how much I actually missed school until I got there. Now I actually dread coming home. How weird is that? Anyway, I'm going to try to blog a little more but Blogger has been so slow for me lately! Anyone else? Love you guys.

Day Two

I am making an effort to update my blog everyday this year. We'll see if it actually works but I think it'd be cool to document my first year of high school and I know that I'll love looking back on it. Today was another great day. I cannot believe that it is just the second day of school. It feels like I've been there forever. My aunt texted me today and told me, "Remember today. Nobody ever remembers the second day and it's always better than the first." I totally agree with that. This day was great. I really like my teachers and my classes, and I just love everything about my school. I hope that the rest of the year continues this way but for now, it's safe to say that I'm thrilled to be spending my next four years here.

Wow

I am back from my first day of high school and it was a million times better than I expected. I didn't get lost and even though I almost broke down crying from the stress in biology, seeing my friends at lunch made it all better and I had a great rest of the day. The day was really just perfect. Except for the fact that I couldn't get my locker open until the end of the day, ha. Other than that, it went so well. My religion teacher is an older man, I'd guess he's close to 70 and he is so hilarious. He told a guy that "this class isn't a makeout class, it's a religion class". He's really just too funny and I can't wait to have class with him! Like I've mentioned 200+ times in this post, high school exceeded my expectations. My first day was amazing. What was I worried about?!

Oh My Gosh

I can't believe that tomorrow is the day. I'm nervous. I'm scared. I'm happy. I'm sad. I'm excited. My emotions are so out of whack. I can't wait to start high school. Everyone says that I'll love it and that's promising. Right now, from my angle, it looks so intimidating though. The upperclassmen, the harder work, the bigger building. I know it'll all come with time. After one day, after one week, after one month, after one year. It'll all come and be just as familiar to me as my house. It's hard to believe that the summer is nearly over but I am excited for the new opportunities that lay ahead next year. Wish me luck tomorrow.

Firsts

This year is going to bring a lot of firsts. First day of high school for me. First day of middle school for Margaret. First day of second grade for Grace. There are a lot of unkown firsts too. First time taking biology. First time taking geometry. Maybe even other opportunities that I don't know about. All of these firsts are going to take place without my best friend. Of course, I have other friends but I never thought that I'd be without Hayden, especially starting high school. We've gone through so much. We've been through mean girls, first periods, deaths, first boyfriends and a lot more. We've shared so much with one another. Now, we can't share it face-to-face and it makes me sad. In a way, the move has made us stronger. We've broken away from eachother and made some new friends, but we're still just as close as we've always been. The move has proved that we're true friends. True friends text eachother all day, everyday. True friends call eachother at 11 at night because the one is sad. Hayden and I are true friends. Friends forever and ever. I don't think our friendship will ever fail. We're in it together, forever and ever. I can't wait to look back on these years as friends and tell our children and granchildren all about our best friend. I can't wait to see my maid of honor walk down the aisle, smiling and beautiful like she always is. I love you, Hayden and I'm so proud of our friendship!

Nerves

High school. Freshmen. Three Days. In three days, on Wednesday, I'll be starting high school. I go back and forth between being excited and being nervous, but I think that I am mostly nervous. It's a new place with a lot of new people. I'm being pushed out of my comfort zone and into a whole new world. With that comes a lot more experiences and opportunities. I'm looking forward to the freedom and the friends. I'm not looking forward to the homework and the stress. It's hard to believe that I am starting high school. I know it's cliche but kids just grow up so fast. I know that it's strange to be saying that about myself but I remember when I was a big sister for the first time. And the second time. Now, Margaret and Grace are 11 and 7. Treasure every moment because you can't get any of them back. Each moment you spend mad and upset is a waste of that moment. Every minute, every day, every month that you live is a gift from God. I need to remember that as I start high school, follow my own advice. It'll be strange, it'll be uncomfortable but it's one step closer to growing up and one step closer to becoming who I want to be.
