Everything's Cleared Out

Timetable Sorted Out

My timetable was finally sorted out this morning, to my enormous relief. Really the uncertainty of what courses I would be taking was stressing me out, so it takes a lot off my back already. Now I just need to get through the school year.

If you have been following my situation pretty closely and you want to know exactly what I've been so worried over, here's my time table.

For the first semester I have P.E. 10, Chemistry 11 AP, French 9, and Math 10 Foundations Honours. The second semester is a bit weird because first off, there was no free elective for me to take, so my first block is empty. I then have Social Studies 9 Honours, English 9 (unfortunately I can't take Honours) and AP Calculus 12. Wait. AP Calculus 12?!

Now I think that this is a mistake or something, but if it isn't, I'm in for a really tough course.

Even though my timetable is all nice and figured out now, I still can't help but feel a little bad because my current courses don't allow me to take Band 9 (which I would have really liked) or English 9 Honours. Both classes have a lot of friends and I'll miss them.

I'm not a complete loner in my classes. P.E. is probably the most difficult because of my age and how much more athletic the older students may be, but I'm sure that I'll get past it at some point. Chemistry has a group of friends that I am acquainted with. French just has some people that I know. And Math has three people that I know, but really I don't think that I'd want to be friends with many of the students there. Then again, I'm not in these courses to make friends.

If I Grow Up...

Everybody has had this question asked in one way or another. What do you want to be when you grow up? As I have said numerous amounts of times, it's no guarantee that you or I will grow up. The future will come when it does. That's why I always phrase it, "if you grow up". I feel like we take the future for granted.

As of now, I don't have a clear answer to that question. My cousin said that when I was young I wished to be a pilot, but then again, I may have just wanted to be the typical superhero. With my current academic and social status, everything just seems very unstable.

Since I know people rarely comment on this blog, I am going to ask you a rhetorical question. Do you want to grow up? I feel like many people miss the point when they ask what you want to be when you grow up. Maybe you don't feel like growing up. So think about that, and if you really want to, share your thoughts.

Farewell For Now

Once again it is time to end yet another post (of how many now?). I believe this blog is nearing its 300th post, so I'll be sure to start thinking up of ideas to make that post special. Besides that I'm just going to focus on school and friends.

It's been a really nice day and hearing booming thunder was really just a fantastic experience. My timetable is sorted out, I'm in control of my homework, and everything seems to be fitting in really nicely (and then everything goes bad once I say that). Today I am a 9.

  1. I don't want to grow up...yet. I want to enjoy the few years left of my youth. The thought of responsibility kind of frightens me, and to be honest, I'm apprehensive about growing up. I'm sure everyone is, but yeah. I know I'll grow out of this phase eventually, but for now, I'm stuck in the moment.

  2. I don't want to grow up. If I'm being honest, I want to go back to being a kid, where nobody cares what you wear or who you're friends with. Being a kid is just simple.
