Whew!

Today I have managed to get the worst part of my summer work out of the way. You can be I happy danced! Now I just need to finish Sometimes a Great Notion and read One Flew Over the Cookoo's Nest before it become apparent that I haven't already. I think that I can pull it off.

I start school tomorrow and I'm having mixed feelings about that. I'm excited to have structure to my day, and relieved that I won't have to sit around doing nothing. But I also am not prepared to enter what I hear is the worst year of high school: junior year.

And to start off my fantastic schooling I get to write an essay this weekend! Oh boy! That's what I get for putting off my summer work for so long though. My friend is going to come over Sunday and we're going to work on it together and proof read each others essay so that we can make sure we're not turning in anything too crappy.

I'm really happy that I'm going to be able to see all of my friends again and see people whom I haven't seen in months. It'll also be nice to see my teachers. One thing about my school that I love is the teachers. They actually care if you do work and try to teach you. My favorite memory of last year is one day after school, this kid Chris and I went to talk to our English teacher and after talking with her our global teacher came in and we had one huge conversation about pop culture, media, the internet, our families, and anything else that came to mind! I get really attached to teachers, to the point where I consider them to be my friend and I actually enjoy talking to them and finding out about their weekend. It also helps me learn and pay attention in that class if I share a connection with that teacher. It makes me feel as if what they have to say is more important.

I guess that relates to how I model my behavior to match those that I look up to which I talked about a few blog entries ago. I've been working all day again and need to get to sleep at a decent time tonight so that I'll wake up at a decent time tomorrow so I guess this is goodbye until I post another blog post. Tomorrow's post will hopefully be interesting and full of how much I love school! Although I severely doubt that.
