Definition of Blog form www.dictionary.com: an online diary; a personal chronological log of thoughts published on a Web page; also called Weblog or Web log. Do you write in your diary every day? (assuming that you have a diary) I'm guessing the answer to be no. So, I know that I haven't posted anything in a while... since August, actually (time flies). And I have a reason. Maybe you don't care, but if you didn't, you wouldn't be reading my blog. Logical? Yes.
If you read my previous posts, or if you just know me that well (stalker), I just got into High School. I expected the homework load, I expected the zero-free-time guarantee that comes along for FREE with your wonderful High School experience which only costs you all of your time, I expected the course work to be hard, for athletics to be hard. But at the same time, I was completely clueless to what was about to happen, and everything hit me. It's like (to use a metaphor): you are standing in the middle of the road, you see a car coming toward you and it's not slowing down. You know it's going to hit you, you know it is going to hurt, you know you are probably going to die, and, if not, suffer intense pain. But even thought you know all of that you still aren't ready for the crash. And no matter how much you prepare in advance, you will never be prepared for the crash. Long story short: It's overwhelming. Very overwhelming. Homework, athletics, waking up at 5 in the morning, sleeping at midnight or later (if you are lucky 11:30), being confused, not understanding things, bad teachers who can't teach. But it's fun. It's also a LOT of fun. Athletics, art, writing, thinking, reading, talking, understanding something complex, and the excitement of seeing your friends everyday and talking about your lives and how much there is to talk about now! Exciting - fun.
If that explains my absence, I hope it is excused. And if that explains my title, can I go now? I know what your thinking: "NO! Don't leave me to the boringness of MY homework!" or "Yes, when is this going to end? It's torture!" Obviously the former because if it were the latter, you wouldn't be reading this. Logical? Yes. Well, just for you, I guess I'll talk a little more about my oh-so-exciting High School life.
Let's start of with the whole Athletics part of it. Of course, I joined the swim team because I love to swim. I love to swim competitively. Many people, when I say that I am on the swim team, think that all we do is splash around. NO. We swim, it's like track in the water... the Michael Phelps type of swimming. (OOOH!! Ring a bell?). It leaves me dead tired by the end of the day. And by end of the day, I mean 4:00 PM. It leaves me dead tired for my homework and dead tired for my studying-for-tests time. But during school I'm fine. It leaves me sore. In the legs, in the butt, in the biceps, triceps, and abdomen (or abs). I'm not complaining don't worry, all I'm saying is, I love it!!! It's the best feeling ever to be able to say, "I'm sore" because you are becoming stronger and in the long-run, a better athlete.
Let's move on to all those subjects I don't really want to spend too much time on like, Biology, Journalism, Geometry, AP Human Geo, and Spanish II. Okay, done.
Moving on to Art. My way of expressing my feelings, relaxing myself, relaxing my mind, concentrating, sharpening my mind, having fun, and showing of my not so fantastic skills!
Saving the best for last: Phoenix. For those of you dummies (jk!) out there who don't know what Phoenix is, it is the Gifted and Talented program at my school. And that's the pensive part of my day. Deep thinking, analyzing, original ideas. It keeps getting better.
Don't say it! I'm a nerd, I know, but what can we do about it? Nothing.
That's not all, but I don't want even the avid readers of my blog to pray to God and ask that this post please be over out of boredom. So, next time I manage to dig out some free time from under my homework, I'll update my life to you.
Meanwhile, you should make the best of your life. Life is too short to regret being alive. Have fun, live your life the way you want. Read books. Stay in school. And... uh oh, I'm out of cheesy, we-hear-it-every-day statements, if you want to hear some more, just talk to your mom.
:) Check back soon
