Ready for High School?

I got my high school courses sheet yesterday :) It's pretty exciting actually. It's over-whelming, but it finally seems like its here! Its reality. I'm going to be in high school next year. No denying it. But when you finally get all the sheets, it feels real. You learn about the credits. For my high school, you need atleast 26 credits to graduate. And to graduate with your Honors Diploma, 16 of those 26 credits must be honors classes. I'm proud to say I'm going for it :D Already, my freshman year I'm taking 4 honors classes. I'm debating whether to take 5. Right now I'm at Geometry, Biology and Literature & Comp. Honors, oh and I'm taking Choir Honors xD I'm debating whether to take U.S. History honors. I don't think I will though. I already have enough trouble paying attention and liking that class. Then I'm going to take French 101, or maybe Italian, not sure.... But I think French ;) Then my senior year I get to go to Paris! And I may possibly take summer gym. :O How weird. But then you don't have it during the school year, you don't get all hot and sweaty. And then during the year, when you would have had gym, you can take an extra elective to get 8.5 credits! P.E. is half a credit. And an elective such as Communications or something is half a credit. I think I'm going to take that too. It sounds cool. It deals with photography, video cameras, and computers for designing things. I'm excited. I'm glad that most of my classes with be only freshman, except Choir Honors and my elective that I choose. So that's a plus. I'm not ready to be around all those older people.

It kind of sucks. You go from the oldest, the highest, to the youngest, and most scared. Look at all the 8th graders picking on little 6th graders. Imagine SENIORS!!!

But luckily I'll know a few juniors. So that could help a little, or maybe alot?!

That's about it. This week seems to be going very slow... Blah Post more later.

Oh! And Zach got his braces off :) I still haven't seen them though. He just got them off today.

Wednesday: I saw them! They are pretty :) His teeth are perfect. Now mine look bad lol

Enjoy these last few months of middle school--should be pretty good ones, right?

So baby you my only love; the only love I want is yours. Nobody is going to take me away from you, and I hope it's the same for you. :)

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

I've finally found what life's really about. Hanging on when your hearts had enough, and giving more when you want to give up.

You're lucky you know, right? - Emma

Life is short, Break the Rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that once made you smile.

Laughter on one's lips is a sign that that person deep down has a pretty good grasp of life.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing - Michael Pritchard

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transformation that's troublesome - Isaac Asimov

Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little... push - The Joker

Look beside you. Shes trying to hold your hand. - Emma.

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
