School's Out

Finally.

So school is finally out, and I don't know what to make of it. I feel like it's great that I have nothing to do, but then again, I feel like this summer will be either a really unproductive one, or a really bad one. My friend Benson and I very briefly talked (more like Tweeted) on collaborating on making a program with C++, and that might take up most if not all of my summer.

It's funny how I'm still not sure what I am doing this summer. When you look at the big picture, there's only about two and a half months of no school, but that seems to fly by really quickly. Hopefully I won't be spending all my time inside.

Where I'll End Up

I wonder a lot (and I suppose in general people do as they grow) about where I will end up in life. My parents say that what I'm doing right now, I'll just be a regular person or worse when I grow up. Some people in my life see potential in me, and they think that I should stop dedicating so much time to gaming and more to work. And then some friends just see a lot in me, whatever I do.

Honestly, any of those three could happen. It'll get more clear as I go through my life, but as of now, I'm not even sure what I'm doing tomorrow, let alone what I'll be doing 15 years from now.

Change

When I look back at what type of person I was at the start of grade eight, I see a very different person. At the beginning of the year, I was running pretty low on confidence. I didn't have many friends, and I felt like I would just be another person in the crowd. I hung out with a certain group that had members come and go, but in the end there were three people who were my first friends at Alpha.

And now it's the end of the year. One of those friends has moved away to another country, while another I have grown disconnected with. The third one is now one of my closest friends, as he was in the beginning of the year.

Everybody changes. For better or worse.

End Of Post

Coincidentally this is my 250th post and I have also broken the 16K views mark. I feel pretty good that I have managed to keep this blog running and alive this whole time, and I hope that there will be more years to come.

I feel like an 8. I know I'm in for the easy run this summer since I will have minimal work and I'll be able just to kick back and relax. Summer has never seemed so great to me.
