Day One Eve – Sunday, August 29th, 2010

Senior year is upon us. I am terrified. This year is going to be super scary, stressful, and hard.  But I also think it will be pretty fun, exciting, and interesting.  I have come to terms with how different this year is going to be. It’s going to be weird not being the big senior on campus. That is one of the things I regret about leaving Public School, but imagine the possibilities this year holds. How far ahead can I get going at my own pace with fewer distractions!? Why didn’t we do this, years ago when I was bored in class? I’m just really excited at this point. I definitely have the back-to-school-butterflies.  Which is weird considering my hike to school is, fewer steps than it would take to get to the kitchen.  I’m really excited to get started on all of my work; I have some pretty interesting subjects this year, so it should be intense.  Needless to say, this year is going to be unlike any other.  This journal is a document and a tribute to the year that is my final year of high school. The year when everything changes, the year I start to grow up, and the year that starts the beginning of the rest of my life.  This journal will be used to record my growth as a person, in my faith, as an “adult”, and as a child.  I will probably also have ideas, epiphanies, realizations, rants, proclamations, and things of that sort in this journal.  I’m sure every post will be different.  Moods will change, days will be different.  Some days it will be excited, happy, and positive. Others it will be short and sweet. And some days will be annoyed, angry, and upset.  In the future (Hey Future Me!), it will be interesting to go back through and read what happened throughout the year, how I grew, and how I dealt with things.  I will also hold myself to going back and revisiting each month. That being said, hopefully I will write in this journal once every day, every other day or at the least every week. It should be an exciting experience, overall. Maybe I’ll write a book in the future using everything I wrote in here. Or maybe I’ll pull an Anne Frank and publish it. Whatever becomes of this, I’m sure it will be interesting.
