I tell you what - IT'S BLISS!!! So I said I was in Academic Decathlon, but that's not true anymore. It was way too hard for me, I don't have a photographic memory, I have too much on my plate, and I'm WAY too lazy. That last reason I left out when I told my teacher why I needed to drop out. But anyway, now that that's done, it's SMOOTH SAILING! Besides the hullabaloo about getting into college, it's great. I have an off-period, so I can go home an hour early! And I'm not at all worried about the SAT. My first one, I got a 2000 without really studying. If I get 10 more points, I get merit aid scholarships! So I am not worried. The only thing is that I really want to make All-State for clarinet this year, as well as get into shape early on. So yeah, a lot on my plate, but the load has definitely lightened since I don't have the ultra-stress of AD anymore. HALLELUJAH!! The other reason why senior year is A WHOLE NEW WORLD is that I find myself cherishing every minute I get to spend with my best friends having fun and making each other laugh. I love those girls, and I'm so glad I have all three of them. Yes, we're a pack of four, like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or... that's the only group I can think of that comes in fours. That's sad. I ramble. But time is just so precious to me now. Nine months, essentially, and we're all off our separate ways. No more of this constant companionship. It will all be over. It's like I just got pregnant, but instead of wanting the nine months to pass quickly, I want them to go as slow as possible. I wonder if my friends are as aware of our limited time together as I am. I hope they are.
