Suddenly A Senior

Although I have mentioned this... thing... numerous times, I think I have yet to sit down and seriously write about, and now as I wait for two separate videos to load, I think I'll take the time. So Last year I offically decided to become an exachange student. I had been playing with the idea for a while, I do love to travel, then while in a meeting with my guidance counselor she brought up some options for what I could do with my last two years of high school. An exchange  student was one of her choices and I decided there and then to do it. I had almost all my credits, or would by the end of my junior year, all I would have to do it drop some of the harder (and more fun) classes I had been meaning to take, add an online class, and I would be set not only to be an exchange student, but also to graduate highschool a whole year early. I am really not a fan of school, so I completely took the chance.
      Although when I look ahead my future seems fantastic, my current plans are to spend a year on the North Island of New Zealand with a Nithyanandite family. Doing what I have not figured out, but its going to be great. I state that here. Unfortunatly living in the present moment is... to be honest hard. First there's that whole summer class. The "few" summer classes I had to take were NOT a piece of cake. They were hard. The content wasn't hard, but seriously, don't try and cram nine months worth of content into five weeks. It does bad things for a teenager's mental state. Who knows about the coming year, it frustrating to not have been able to sign on for many of the classes my friends did, but who knows maybe it will be good? Finally though the major thing weighing down on my mind, being a senior. I thought it would just be the crazy schedules, and complete lack of time, yeah it's that, and more. Being a band senior is a big deal, there's a dance, a movie, a skit night, and on and on. Now don't get me wrong I LOVE getting to spend time with some of those people. I really both admire and love many of them, and I've never really gotten to spend time with them before. Being the odd one out though is hard. They have they're group, they've always been together, and then there's me who just up and decided to be a senior. So yes, that is hard. It going to be an interesting year, I can tell you that.
