I officially have three semesters left of high school. That feels so good, and I know it will fly by. With seniors finally done and applied to college, all that's left to do it wait. And also, focus on the juniors. I've taken my first counting SAT, and did not so hot. I got above average America but that doesn't say much. 9 months until I'm applied EA. It's all so weird. It's been really hitting me lately, because it all seems to have gone from the future to knocking on my door. I think the most stressful part is that it's sort of like the beginning of the beginning, and I need to get serious about my future and what I want to do, and where I want to do it.
Last week was Ring Week, another tradition at school. The class rings have been the exact same for decades, and every girl has one. Hearing stories of alums that never met seeing each others rings randomly through out the country and automatically having that connection is too cool. I love my ring, (even though they messed it up, they'll fix it) and it feels great to finally have it. Ring Week is a week of hazing in order to earn them and earn the passing of the seniority. So for a week, seniors get to make us do whatever we want, and obviously we have to do it.
I'm in serious need of Spring Break, things have been seeming too weird and real and fast lately, and all I want is for things to slow down. Can't believe I'm saying that. Summer will obviously be nice, but it will be primarily focused on visiting schools, doing my applications, and having a good internship to show off to colleges.
It's been so cold here lately, with the weird exception of today, that it's making it really hard to just be happy. Nobody wants to walk to classes or wake up, and the whole energy is really depressing. Needless to say, we all need a break, especially the juniors. The rumors were true, this year is hell. I love Spring on campus though because everything changes. Everyone is smiling, wearing adorable warm weathered clothes, laying and working on the quads, and going out every weekend just to be outside. It's blissful and makes this long wait worth it.
On a really exciting note, my sister AND my cousin are getting engaged. It's truly incredible since they are 2 out of the three closest girls to me in my life. It's so exciting and I couldn't be happier for them. Now that I type this, I realize that it's yet another reason to feel like things are in light speed. Great, thanks. But I really couldn't be happier, and excited! I mean that's two weddings I get to go to! Maybe by one or both of them I'll actually have a date. ; ) If Caroline reads this I feel like she'll strongly disagree with that. But maybe not, love is in the air, afterall.
Not too much else to report, just how much things are hitting me lately. 18 this year, big internship this summer, apply/enroll into college, and try to figure out where to go after that. It all seems a little too close, but I guess that's half the fun of getting there. 3.5 months left, and I'll be a Senior. Crazy stuff.
