Ahh, journalling on Gaia. I forgot about this dusty ol' feature. :]
So, what shall I put here?
I started taking French classes at a community college close to where I live, and last week I finished my first course. Tonight was the first class of the second portion of French 1.
I'm really enjoying learning a new language. I started because I needed the credit so I could do all of the things I love in high school, but I think I've discovered yet another passion. :] There's just so much to love in this world!
I can't stop playing my instruments, especially piano. Sure, I'm definitely not as good as the people who have been playing ever since they turned four, but I'm glad I made the decision to start playing six months ago. :] I just love music. I love listening to it, but more than that, I love making it. <3
And of course, I still love to write. I've been focussed on French and piano and soccer [talk about that later] so I've slacked on writing, but it is still one of the things that brings me a lot of relief. Getting things down with pen and paper- I don't really know if there's anything more satisfying to me. [Well, composing music rivals it, but nonetheless.] I'm still holding steadfast to my dream of being published in Poetry magazine. I know its an ambitious goal for someone at my age, but you can never start dreaming too early. ;]
And SOCCER. A whole different plain of my life. I think part of the reason I enjoy it so much is the feeling of being on a team- you can't do everything alone. There are so many people in the world for a reason! Imagine that. O: Last week was futsal camp at my high school. Futsal was AMAZINGLY FUN. With its impressive name, you wouldn't think its simply indoor soccer, but alas, c'est vrai.
Okay, maybe not that impressive of a name.
And the week before that was soccer camp itself, which was very VERY stressful because it was essentially a weeklong tryout to get into the sixth period soccer class, which is the first step onto making the team. Like piano, I started recently and nearly everyone else has been playing for years and years, so I felt extremely self-conscious and pressured. But I managed to get through the week without incident, and I had much more fun at futsal camp without all of that pressure.
AND I found out on the last day of futsal that I most likely made the class! Which just relieved me SO much. I was really worried I wouldn't be able to, but I guess my luck hasn't decided to turn just yet. :]
Let's see, what else is there to write about...
Well, I suppose that all of these newfound passions and joys just really help me bring out who I am, and I just love that. [That word is becoming a bit redundant, isn't it? XD] I can't understand people who have no dreams or ambitions in this world full of things of all sorts. How can it be that even a single person cannot manage to find something that they can fall completely in love with? [There it is again. I should find a new word.]
Sadly, I have a friend who hasn't found anything yet, and he just really doesn't seem to care. Its like he's actually AGAINST the idea of finding something he's passionate about, completely content on wasting his life in front of the computer playing games that get him nowhere. [I'm not anti-computer games or anything like that. I just don't believe that they should take up the majority of a person's life like they do my friend's.] For his sake, I hope he finds something soon.
Well, I don't really think anyone will read this for many'a month, if at all, and if they do, they probably won't care about my long rant on passions and dreams. But that's just who I am right now. ;]
[AH. MY GOD, I FORGOT LEARNING. O: ABOVE ALL, LEARNING IS THE BANE OF MY EXISTENCE. Okay, I swear, I won't go off on yet another tangent. C; ]
Much love to whoever decides to read this at whatever moment in time,
PANDA -- XOXO
