Holy it's pretty much October

It's been a really quick first month of school and responsibilities and work are already starting to pile up, giving me just a taste of what's to come. Under some advice I've started working on my Grad Trans and Grad Profile, so hopefully my efforts now will take some stress off me in the future. In terms of my workload, it's been surprisingly light. That's to be expected as it is the beginning of the year, but I thought by now I would have much more work. However work is only half of the situation (probably less than that even), and I have taken on a lot of responsibilities this year.

Leading Students' Council is definitely proving more difficult than I initially thought, but hopefully I can smooth things out as we progress through the year. The responsibility of being on Students' Council along with various other councils and a volleyball team has me running around the place, but all this adds to what will surely be a memorable senior year.

I think the way I'm going about with Students' Council is better than previous years, but it isn't quite "the legendary year" that many of us expected. We've only had one event but with our upcoming Club's Day I hope we'll have a positive reception and time planning.

Anyhow, that's all from me for now. I kinda puked all over this post and just wrote whatever I felt like at the time. Wait another month and maybe I'll be back with another mediocre and confused post :)

Starting for the last time

So yesterday the school year started off with its very first full day today and if anything, I'm feeling excited. This is my year. This is how the last chapter of my high school adventure will open.

Yay.

Classes today were exceptionally boring, but I'm sure they'll pick up in no time at all (the rules and course outline stuff is typically difficult to sit through). For those wondering what's on my slate for this year, well, it's a bit of stuff. This year I'm taking (in no particular order whatsoever):
  • Band
  • English 12
  • French 12
  • Physics 12
  • AP Calculus AB 12
  • Physics 12
  • Computer Programming 12
  • Law 12
It looks like a somewhat heavy year, but it's up to me to juggle everything along with extra curriculars. Some other stuff I've horded onto my high school dinner plate are Students' Council obligations, involving myself in the school and local community, and the school ultimate team. I have a pretty busy year ahead of me, but I'm sure post secondary will be yet another challenge that I will take.

I plan to heavily invest my free time in developing and improving Students' Council and the clubs and councils system as a whole. Alpha is not the most spirited school, so it will be difficult to run events with a turnout rate that I consider successful. However my goal, at the very end of it all, is to raise a stable foundation that future councils can use.

That's it from me tonight, I'll try to get back to you guys sometime soon. Until next time.
