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.
