Who knew April would pass by so quickly?
As prom gets closer and closer (it's THIS Saturday!) and I start wincing while news of senior deadlines goes around school and the interwebs, I'm also eagerly awaiting the early weeks of May for an entirely different reason: the upcoming news and opportunity from American! That's right, I cannot wait for the emails at this point. I want to make my profile and start looking for a new roommate. I even want to take this foreboding math placement test, even though I've heard it wasn't that bad and still feel confident that I could fail, horribly.
In actuality though, I'm not like my peers in the whole "OH MY GOD GRADUATION, LIKE, HURRY UPPPPPP!". I kind of love being a senior. I'm a little more lax on my grades, and even though I fully intend to keep my 4.0 average, the fact that I'm staring at a C in AP Gov with at least 4 grades not updated (that probably will be 0's or more 70s) isn't killing me. I know that I'm trying my best and sometimes getting overwhelmed. I can't do it all, but I can try. I vow to do better in AP Lit. I get by in Government, because let's face it, I'm no wiz in the subject from the get go.
As far as Tech, I know I'll pass, and probably with a great grade. I've tried to be a good aide to Mr. Grey, but thankfully I'm not graded for it. The time I've had to sit there and do homework or study is greatly appreciated tohugh. As far as AP Human Geography, I can only hope and pray that all the studying in the world gets me a 4 on the exam, and I can find some way to get college credit for it. Foods and Nutrition is the one class I have in the bag, and thankfully I don't see myself slipping up in it. Down to 8th period?
AP 2D Art has certainly been one of my most challenging courses this year when it came to meeting Marks' suggestions and the deadlines she's set to safety-net us. But when it comes to May 9-10th, whatever happens, happens. I won't stress about someone grading my art based on their specifications and viewpoints. Art is up for interpretation, and even what I believe to be a great photo could be overdone cliche mess to someone else, and vice versa.
I think at the end of the day, I'm just happy to start this new chapter. I want to expand my photo and media skills, and start actually making a product I can stand behind. Something I would take pride in and try to market to someone. I want to make the new friends, explore my own backyard and the new home I make in DC. Though I'm nervous and more than a little scared to see how the transition will affect my current life, from my family relationship to my plans with the bf, I'm confident that things will work out for the best. I love everything and everyone that has gotten me to this point in my life, and from now on, it's going to be an adventure. I'm just glad to be along for the ride.
