Ok. So, it's March. We're 3 months into the new year, and I haven't even blogged yet. Right now, with only 4 months left til graduation, I'm trying to keep my sanity. Senior year is dumb. I don't know if it's my attitude that is keeping me from liking it, but honestly, all I can think of is how much I want to be d-o-n-e with high school. I have a countdown going on. One month til the early morning practices are over, and man, it's going to end with a bang. State is only about 3 weeks away, and Nationals 4 weeks away. We've had success at every competition so far, taking first places in all of our dances and the occasional second places. This weekend is districts, so that means a ton of never ending practices. I absolutely love my team, and we're on our way to do the impossible. But that's the thing, with us... anything is possible. We're building the dream together, and we're about to show them all! I may be exhausted, and may come home after practices feeling like I can't go another day, but this year has been more than worth it. I've done things this year in drill team that I never thought I could do. I've been put to the test emotionally and physically. But I've learned so much about myself, and never have I been so proud of myself! So, I'm doing all I can to enjoy the last month of tears (both exhausted and happy), being sore, team bonding, early and late practices, and taking hard work to the floor and performing. This is the end of my dancing career, and I know I'll be devastated when it's over, but that only means, once it's over... next stop-graduation.
This last stretch of high school has been a year of lasts and changes, and honestly- I've been so happy about it! 4 months! 4 months! Graduation will be the best day of my life. I know that I have been a complete downer this year, but can you really blame me for disliking the place they call school? I have a completely different opinion on what high school is now. Once I leave high school, I get to enjoy my last summer with my friends before some of guy friends leave for their missions, my best friend leaves to college for a summer term, and have one last hoorah til all my friends and I go our separate ways for college. I don't know how all that is going to feel, but it's time it starts happening.
I start college on September 10th, and I have to be down to my apartment at BYU-I by September 7th. It's going to be a completely different experience, but it will be the experience I've been needing and am ready for. The end of high school is just only so far away.
So I guess all I'm trying to say is something plain and simple. I cannot wait to graduate high school, summer will be the best thing ever, and college is a new beginning that is forming right in my hands. Only 4 months til I wear my cap and gown, 5 months til I'm 18, and 7 months til I have a new zip code.
