I'm not sad that HS is over.  Not yet, anyway.  Perhaps I will be next year.  As for now, I'm not. I'm more "sad" that I will have to leave all of my close friends and, basically, begin a new life next year.  New friends, new living situation, new pressures, new worries, new bed time......new everything.  For the moment, I'm not sure how I feel about that.  I am excited, but that's about all I know for sure.

Everyday I meet a new person who may be my classmate next year.  This whole college thing is just becoming more and more real.  In a lot of ways, it still does not feel as though it is, but I'm coming to acknowledge it as something that I must take seriously.  I finally signed up for orientation.  This is a big step.  I bought my first plane tickets.  This is an even bigger step.

I never know what I've got till it's gone.  I never know how exactly I feel about something until I experience it.  I don't get nervous, sad, or other emotions that people sometimes feel in advance.  I'm all about the moment.  Sometimes that sucks, 'cause when the moment comes, I'm just not ready.  I hope I'm ready.

I have yet to buy my tickets for my return over Thanksgiving break.  I'll do that soon.  Heck, I'll do Christmas with it.  I'm gonna come home pretty often this year, I figure.  I get home sick very quickly.  *sigh*

One thing I'm looking forward to is caring again.  I just don't care about school anymore, and I really want that back.  I want to care about what I'm being taught.  I want to work hard for it.  I want to feel the gratification and satisfaction that comes with accomplishing something great, even if I'm the only who thinks it's great.  I don't know where I lost that part of myself, but I believe that starting off fresh next year will trigger it's return.
