Today is the last day of summer vacation. This summer was a very interesting one, now that I look back at it. Going camping, visiting Niagara Falls and the cave under the Erie Canal, going to the amusement park, the Renaissance festival, adopting Diamond, discovering Soul Eater, saying goodbye to Jackie, adopting Mack, visiting the museum and the zoo... it's sad that today is the last day of all this rest and leisure time, but at the same time I'm kind of looking forward to high school. It's a brand new school; I've been going to the same middle school since before the original TMIFWM was made. I want to see what kind of teachers I have, and I want to know my way around the school. Maybe I'll even have some interesting lessons. But with all this comes the bullying... that's something I'm definitely not looking forward to. My mom says everything's going to get better in high school, but I know that's not true. She says all the jerks either mature or drop out, but I've been picked on by numerous juniors and seniors on the late bus. And as I said in an earlier post, the curriculum doesn't look too exciting.
Starting tomorrow, I'm going to have to say goodbye to staying up late on weekdays, and spending the day lounging around on my computer. The most exciting place I'll go other than home and school will be the supermarket, and even then I usually won't go there. I'll have to get down to business, and spend my time at home studying and doing homework instead of role playing and hanging out on the internet. Now that I'm going to be in high school, I'll probably have a lot of more work to do. And this work will count more than anything did before. This stuff is important, because it's going to help decide where I'll be going to college and what my destiny is. I can't let things slip this year. Last year I had a 95 average, and I'm going to try to do even better than that.
