SENIOR YEAR!

Right. So four months after my last post, and I am still as unorganized, forgetful, and bouncy as I was before. Like right now, for instance. If I was organized I would be writing my plans for the year in bulleted format, for all to read. If I wasn't so forgetful I would have already written my plans a few weeks ago. And if I wasn't so bouncy, I would have continued writing in a journal all the things I've learned, seen, and experienced this past summer. Four months has, however, brought me through to the infamous 'Senior Year' of high school.
Here I am. I have had an amazing summer, one where I laughed and cried more than I ever have before. I think I've grown up a little bit. I am a senior, and it's kind of odd to think about. For one, I don't feel old enough, big enough, or quite as intimidating as I should be. Or rather, as seniors have always seemed to me since I was in Kindergarten. Secondly, it is odd because my senior year won't include the usual scenes that comes to mind; I might go to the Homecoming football game, but I won't be painted green and gold. My senior picture will finally be printed in color, but not alongside 150 others bound in a book. And thankfully, I won't be walking down an aisle wearing a cap and gown. Not that I have anything against highschool graduations, I'm just more than slightly glad I don't have to participate in one. Homeschooling isn't for everyone, it's just what I have chosen; what works for me. The scenes that will play out in my senior year are going to be completely new, unpredictable, memorable, and I cannot wait to experience them.
