Senior.

August 9, 2010, my last first day of high school.

Yes, my mom cried. No, I didn't. I did stay up late the night before because I couldn't sleep, I was too excited. Everything that has happened so far this year has been bittersweet. These past few months have already been full of a lot of "lasts". Last first day, last Austin v. Decatur game, last rush, last homecoming, last pep rally, last football game, last pancake breakfast, and last powder puff tournament (Class of 2011, back to back champs, BTW !) . My goal this year is to just have fun and to make it the best, even if mom complains that I'm not home enough anymore. I've settled friendships that were rocky and created MANY new ones, and I love the people in my life right now. Some days I'm so ready to graduate, some I'm not. But after visiting USA this weekend, I'm more excited about college.

A couple weeks ago, my 9 year old sister and I were jokingly yelling smart comments back and forth to each other, and she pulled the " I....just wish you would go to college !" card. It kind of hurt me a little, although we were joking, that she thought of that. It made me realize that I wont be seeing her or anyone in my family everyday anymore. Its a weird feeling hearing my sisters fight about who is getting my room, or who's room I'm going to stay in when I come home for holidays. I have a feeling that the first few months I'm gone, I will be having weekly "Skype dates" with them. As much as we argue, I know I'm going to miss them.

It's feels crazy to say that senior year is almost halfway over, but it has been great so far. One thing I'm sure of is that I love my classmates, and the fact that we are like one big family, its amazing.
