Things have been going okayish since the start of my junior year. It's only been my first week and already I am overwhelmed with some of my classes, but that should be what's expected of Junior Year, right?
I know that I haven't been posting here much, but that is only because I've been held up with homework and studying. For instance, it's ten p.m., I have a Chemistry test tomorrow, and I have yet to study for it... Yeah.
If you're wondering, I haven't felt that sluggish feeling most people feel when it's the first week of school because they've been so used to summer, which completely amazes me. If I have homework, I jump right on it and try not to procrastinate. I don't think I posted it here--maybe I did--- but last week I was struggling to complete all my summer assignments, spend time with my family, worry about school supplies, and just stay sane all at once. It was difficult trying keep myself together (I finally broke down the day before school started, right after singing a solo song to my church). However, this week, I've been a completely focused on my school work. It takes me four hours to complete, so basically I'm working non-stop from four in the afternoon until ten at night, which is my official bed time.
The first day of Junior Year was awkward like all first days of school are. Everyone was quiet in the classes. That's one of the things I truly hate about the first day of school; everyone's mouths are closed like they've been glued together and told not to speak because they are so scared out of their whims about everything. Okay, I know it isn't fear that they're all feeling, it's nerves, I get it but even the loudest kids become silent. What, do they think it's taboo to talk or laugh on the first day of school? Sometimes I pray for a student to say something, even ask the teacher a question, on the first day of school. I just hate how everything's so uptight and no one is as loose as they usually are doing the school year.
However, I am being a hypocrite. I never speak to anyone on the first day of school. It's also because of nerves, and mostly because I am waiting for someone else to break the silence at that time. See, I'm not really the "leading" type. I'm more of a person that just goes with the flow of things. I know this isn't always good, but it saves me from a ton of future embarrassing moments when I conduct myself that way.
Anyway, fellow readers, I hope you have been surviving your first days in whichever grade you are in. I am steadily climbing over hurdles each day, and I will never stop because I know that there's a golden medal waiting for me at the end. I'm just going to keep climbing and not let anything get in my way because to stop climbing would mean that I've cheated myself out of a good future. I hope you avid high school readers out there are thinking the same way. Whatever hurdles or obstacles you encounter now, just remember that today is just one day out of the rest of your life and that there's a new day coming tomorrow. Remember that high schoolers, and you'll definitely be able to cope with any problem thrown your way.
Until next time folks, I bid you adieu and happily plan to tell what will come up next. As for right now, like, right now, right now, I am going to do a bit of studying and then hit the haystack for some hours. I really need that sleep, I've got that Chemistry test at the end of the day tomorrow, and I'm planning to do well on it. I hope you liked the positive energy I've expressed tonight. Was it different from the self-deprecation and angst I usually toss on you? I know it feels good to know that life isn't always made up of angst and stress---and it isn't.
I'm going to stop talking now. *Yawn* Good night!
