I have a complete smoothie of feelings right now. I'm excited, worried, depressed, ecstatic, happy, pensive, and... about 10000 other things right now.
I suppose it's only natural to feel these things the day before school starts, but it's magnified ten-fold this year. I mean... it's a big year for me. I'm a junior. I've really got to start buckling down and getting ready for college and scholarships and everything. On top of that, my largest group of friends are graduating this year. That's right, at the end of this school year, they're all headed off for their own futures.
Which brings me to me topic: growing up. How come when you're 6- and 7-years-old, time seems to amble by slowly? It seems like centuries until you go to highschool and a millenium until you turn sweet sixteen. Then you turn fourteen, and your life takes a humungous leap forward. Suddenly, you're in highschool, then driving, turning 16, getting ready for your first advanced placement class... SAT's, scholarships, prom, and graduation? Didn't I just graduate middle school at the beginning of the summer? I have to tell myself, "No, Katie. That was three years ago."
It's beyond scary to think that in two school year's time, I'll be off on my own, preparing for my life ahead of me. I'm sure it will be bittersweet.
