It was a bit unnerving and I was very intimidated by everybody because of how much they had changed, but by the end I found myself warming up once again the aspect of having daily interactions with the people I know and like. With that experience I also got to meet a class of brand new grade eights and show them the ropes (not really) around the school. Most of them seem like decent people and maybe I'll actually enjoy being with some of them.
But for now, I'm just going to try to enjoy school.
While my timetable was supposed to be all messed up because of the summer course I took, all the courses I had selected halfway through grade eight were still there to my surprise. I'm happy though because it means I'll get to spend some time with my friends in classes before I have to transfer out.
Focusing More On Academics
During grade eight I think I really invested a lot of time and effort into improving and creating my social life (which makes since because I had no friends at Alpha in the first place). I spent minimal time on academics and school, but just enough so I would get grades that were good enough to make my parents and family happy.
However, this year I will be taking more advanced courses, so I'm not sure what's going to happen. I don't think my friendships will all fall to ruin, then again, I can't say that I won't be doing school work for the majority of my day.
I feel like this year I'll really put most of my energy into school and then in the later years tone it down (or not, who knows?). Like most things, I can't really say what's going to happen because it's all in the future, and I do not know what the future holds for me.
There is a beautiful story behind every single thing on this planet. At least I think so. You don't really focus much on how others end up in your story, but when you do, it can really open your eyes. Even if you are trying to figure out the story life of a rock, it's still really just... perplexing? You can think about how that rock got there, and what country it came from. Where has that rock been? Who has it met? Everything has a story in the end, and I think that every story matters because maybe one day that story will meet yours. Maybe. Maybe not.
What can I say? The first day of school and seeing everybody puts me in a relatively high spirit. For today I am a high 9. I don't think I can ever say that I am a 10 ever again because, well, life can't be perfect. There's always that one thing that's got you feeling down. Thanks for reading. I also realize that this blog is now just about two years old. I forgot to post on its birthday though. My apologizes.
