New School Year @ MindSay 
school year
I think ever since I've started blogging, about 3 years ago, I think every summer I've written one of these. My semi-traditional Back to School Blog. Here I'll descibe my hopes, dreams, goals, and fears about the upcoming year. If you aren't a huge friend of mine, there's a good chance you won't give a damn about what it is I'm going to say. If you are my friend, you might notice that there are some subtle changes about me and what I'm looking for in life. Or maybe I'm full of it and just feel like blogging. Idk. You decide.
My Goals
1. Organization- By the end of the first semester I want to have figured out how to properly utilize a daily planner, and I will do this by remembering to write stuff down in mine, and not just stuffing it in the back of my locker or using it just for passes. My locker will stay clean, and I will be able to find whatever it is I need in my Binders.
2. Sports- By the time basketball season rolls around, I want to be in better shape than I have ever been. I will accomplish this by competing in cross country, where I will increase my ability to run 3.1 miles in 30:39 to being able to run a mile in at the most 9 minutes, preferably faster.
Ok, those are my two most immediate goals. Some long term goals are to keep my confidence up. I don't want to be as passive, and I don't want to be taken advantage of in school anymore. I want to know when to say no. I've decided this year is going to be about what makes me happy. I'm generally a nice person, but I'm not going to inconvenience myself to make someone else's life easier. I spent way too much effort trying to please people.
Romantically? I'm not looking for anything. No, really. I've been single since May, and it feels great. If you know me, you probably realize how long a time that is for me. It's the longest I haven't had a boyfriend since I started dating. I've been doing a lot of thinking this summer, reflecting, and I've come up with this- I don't need one. The trouble I've had with boyfriends makes it so I barely even want one. I like being able to flirt, and right now I can't think of a guy I'd be willing to date. Or I can, but he's not here so nothing can happen. I've had enough fun over this summer to last me all year, and I don't plan on continuing it. Weird, huh? For me to not want a boyfriend?
So, for now, I think I'll just wait it out, wait for the right guy to come to me. Instead of me chasing a fairy tale. Plus, I have a lot more standards, now. No more settling for me. No more dating a guy because he likes me, so I think I want to get to know him, only to find out he's totally wrong for me, which I would have already known if I'd have got to know him in the first place. No more liking a guy just because he likes me. I realize now, that's just plain stupid. If he's out there... he'll find me.
I don't have a whole lot of fears. No, "Omg I'm totally worried about failing sophomore year or not having any friends." School is school, it's supposed to get harder. I have all the friends I need, althought I won't object to more, if they aren't the kind that are friends only while they can get something from me. I've had plenty of those. I don't want to mess anything up with the friends I do have, because they mean the world to me. I don't want to do anything stupid because everyone else is doing it, I've been close to that before. I really don't want to drop the ball in leadership, again. Those are really the only things I'm worried about.
My attitude's a little different now. I'm curious to see if it stays with me throughout the school year. I hope it does... I like this little piece of confidence I picked up. Feel free to comment on this... I wrote it mostly for myself, but it's nice to know what other people think. See you all soon.
there were so many more people on the team this year than there was last year, so the place was packed. BUT. good job Welton. we still have the shortest banquet at Elko High School.
i didn't letter this year. got DAMN near close, but didn't letter. but. you know. Cross Country is a harder sport to letter in than a bunch of others. actually like all of them.
whatevs. i'll letter next year.
well today was the last day of my freshman year at EHS. it didn't even feel like it. it just felt like we were going on spring break or something you know? not really THE LAST DAY of school.
we were talking about this in english and we came to the conclusion that it's because we don't have yearbooks. in jr. high we all got our yearbooks in 1st hour and everybody just went around and signed them like a normal day only there aren't any assignments. but not this year. the way my high school does the whole yearbook thing is total crap. we pay for it towards the beginning of the year and we get it at the beginning of next year. like i said, total crap. i really hate it. and like, yeah sure they want to get the whole graduation thing in sure. but they can just mail that to the seniors sometime over the summer. really. having a yearbook on the last day of school and having all your friends sign it is a really big deal. well it is for me at least. i mean, i'm only going to be a freshman in high school once. it won't happen again.
plus i just really like yearbooks. that's weird i know but it's kind of a fetish for me. it's weird i know. i just think yearbooks are one of the coolest things on earth. really.
so anyways. happy summer everybody!
School can die.The ppl SUCK..I really hate it.It was soo bad. I just want to move now.People who are your friends don't act like it.And kids are jsut plain weird.The school feels different this year with all the freshman.The school got more crowded since the ppl in their grade.Please high school is not the best time of ur life.I can't wait to get out. Can you say GET ME INTO COLLEGE?that sounds like soo much fun from my sister.Friends who are actually nice and stuff.........and i already have math hw.and TODAY was my easy day..i wonder how bad tmmrw will be..i can't take a whole year of this.I hope we move sometime soon. 5 years at this place seems enough.We only ever stay at a place for a max of 5 years so far everywhere else we lived.so time to move.. hope things are lookin up so we get out of here soon:)
I wish i went back to school with my real friends in Canada or in Georgia that would rock they are soo cool:)
Ppl here just are stuck in the little bubble of how everyone knows everyone and all grew up to each other.THEY need to wake up to the fact that they dont' rule the world and soon they are gonna have to come to face with REALITY.
And to those ppl reading this.. im not a loser..or weird,or phyco lol.so don't get that idea. you would have to know the whole situation really if you went to this school.
anywho that is all i guess i have to go cut 3hrs of grass?uhhh and do hw and eat.and do everyhting b4
living hell starts again tmmrw at 6:30 oh joy:(:(:(...
my life so far: my best friends gone, and i know i won't see her again for like a year. my boyfriend also is gone, and i know i have to break up with him soon. i think i'm in love with my cousin. eww, i know, but i can't help it. he's just such a great guy. luckily i won't see him for at least a year, probably more, so i'll get over it. i think i might have a new best friend, which is cool. i go back to school on monday, and have my orientation tomorrow. i just bought new clothes, so i'll probably get a good first impression, because they look pretty good on me. i'm most likely going to have to deal with an exbf who will probably still like me and want to get back together. i've made some celebrity friends on myspace, including edmund from like with derek and gordo from lizzie mcquire. i really want to impress my crush, sam gresham. i missed him a lot over the summer. i'm hoping its going to be a good year with dating and stuff. i'll probably need to find or make a new group of friends, as all of mine moved. all in all, the futures looking pretty good for me.
