Well... here we go. High school has started. The only thing keeping me from living life and doing what I love is four years of education. Only four years right? Everyone says they fly by in no time. That seems very hard to believe, in my opinion. But maybe if I can just muddle through it all, doing things here and there to keep me sane, I will make it out without any permanent damage and maybe even some good memories. Which brings me to the point of this blog.
I've noticed while browsing through other blogs, that the majority of them are new mothers who write novels and post one hundred million pictures of their precious little bundles of joy. But I... I am not a mother (nor will I be for quite some time). You will not see pictures of a baby sleeping or me changing one's diaper. No, instead you get to read about my misadventures in high school. This will hopefully be one of the things to keep me sane as I muddle through it all.
And again, my mind goes in another direction and this comes to surface: isn't it terribly funny, how different adults and children look at high school. It's like standing on each end of the spectrum. The adults, our parents, look back at high school as the glory days. Back when they were young, in love, popular, maybe. And my generation, my grade, looking up at the four years that tower above us, look at it as one big, stressful workload. Or at least I do. But we don't look at it as the prime time of our lives. Now we may be excited for getting our driving permit, and going to dances, and etc. But we don't appreciate it like you do when it's gone. I guess that's just how life is... funny, isn't it?
So now that I've stated the general purpose of this blog and now that you got to see a glimpse of my thought process, I must come to a close for now because... I have homework. Yeah, exciting, huh? Well maybe something interesting will happen tomorrow at school. You never really know. But for now, hasta luego.
Yours truly,
SD
I'm proud of you for blogging, writer friend. Speaking of writing, am I gonna see anything new soon?!
ReplyDeleteSo far, high school for me has been such an over-rated disappointment. My parents' high school days were their glory days...they had all types of friends and were just happy and stuff. How am I supposed to be like that when I have all this flippin work?! The first couple of days I was just plain depressed because well you weren't there, and I had no idea what was going on in algebra 2 or biology. But it's gotten better as it's gone on (though I still am confused in those two subjects...but I think it is a hopeless cause). Heritage isn't the same without you. :( So..in the end, freshman year isn't all it's cracked up to be...now what about you? Are you enjoying it? Do you feel any older now that we are in high school?
