At the time of writing it is 9:05pm and tomorrow I am a junior. There lies an exorbitant amount of pressure on my shoulders that I have yet to feel the effects of but I will oh so soon.
I quite enjoy my schedule, I am especially anticipating museum studies, earth & environmental, and creative writing two: poetry. Museum studies is taught by a teacher I quite admire and am very excited to work with, I find him to be so very intelligent and I like his intensity.I feel as if the changes one feels from year to year within themselves slows down quite a bit when one reaches the upper level of high school. With a few minor changes, I am nearly the same person I was at the start of summer. I haven’t gone through any major life events or had a sudden epiphany of identity like in years past. However, if you were to view me at the start of 8th grade summer and then view me at the end, going into 9th grade, it’d be a much different story. I suppose that particular summer had a very certain set of circumstances that I don’t prefer to get into, but I digress. I think as you get older time speeds up but you slow down, so your evolution does not occur quite as quickly, even though we are always evolving.
Tomorrow I will see my old friends, possibly meet some new people, sit in new seats and learn new things, but I will remain myself. Same as it ever was.
So I’ll leave it at this, now 9:25pm, I must be in bed in 5 minutes. I will check in again tomorrow to let you know how it goes. Here is to a good, successful, calm junior year.
