Current thoughts

Hey guys!

It has occurred to me that every single morning I have gotten out of bed ready and excited to go to school. This has never happened in my previous 11 years of schooling.

I think this is partly due to my courses this year, which I love, but mostly because of my fellow classmates. Looking back at my grade nine year, I have come very far both academically and socially. I actually have a varied group of friends, and some of them are people that I never imagined I would have such a good friendship with. Truly, my friends make me feel happy...happier than I have ever felt.

Recently I realized that one of my good friends has been rather distant since the summer holidays started. Perhaps she's going through something, and if so I wish her the best. It is frustrating to be continually shut down when I attempt to reconnect., but hopefully in time she'll come around and we can resume being friends. However, for now I have the sinking feeling that a good friendship is slipping away.

Today I met with guidance and dropped my landscaping course for a spare. I also switched into a morning vocals class, which considering my undeveloped "singing" voice should be rather interesting, to say the least.

All things aside, I am actually really enjoying life at the moment, whether it be at school or with my friends. I sincerely hope that I don't lose contact with them when we graduate this June.

Until next time,
