So I’ve been perusing the other blogs here on WordPress, and I’ve found some interesting and intelligent posts/blogs. I really wanted to start mine with a bang and a pow, but, honestly, I’ve spent my whole day mindlessly at home, so whatever follows next is just going to have to do.
Midterms are coming up on Monday, and of course I continue to push studying away, as I’ve been pushing all of my other responsibilities away. I wish I could blame my laziness on “senioritis,” that inexplainable disease that, as the Facebook group puts it, we’re just too lazy to find a cure for (har har), but really I just don’t care much about my classes lately. I’ve got my early decision scholarship to Bryn Mawr College, and the only thing that’s keeping me from failing all my classes, at this point, is the need to keep my grades consistent in order to keep that scholarship. Now that I’m in, I just can’t wait to go.
Everyone talks about how you’re not supposed to want to leave once you’re a senior, and some of my peers speak as if you’re heartless for not wanting to cling to your friends for dear life. Yea, high school was a learning and growing experience and I’ll miss a lot of the people, but I am ready to experience something new. I can’t wait to take more classes that I am actually passionate about, and to experience life in Philly (I currently live near Boston). I can’t wait to get a dorm, and meet intelligent women, and be taken seriously. I’m tired of being stuck in this high school, where my principal uses the fact that I’m president of one of our school clubs as concrete proof that women are equal to men (hello, who the fuck is, and has been, president of this country?)
Honestly, I do cherish the city I live in and all of the memories I’ve made, and I’m excited for what time I have left here to make some more memories, but I’m ready for a change.
