I have big news: sometime this summer, I’m moving to Baltimore, Maryland. I guess that there are some pros and cons to this situation. I won't have to do the summer English homework, but I will miss out on secret Santa and the combined parties with the other class. I won't have to suffer and BS my way through TOK (there is no con to that). I won't have a hot teacher for biology. I can change my art book and make it more personal, but I won't have that relaxing hour of my day in art class. I’ll get out of this boring town, but I’ll miss some people. I won’t have to deal with this IB crap of analyzing and connecting and utter b.s., but I’ve also spent hundred (maybe that’s a bit exaggerated) of hours researching and writing my extended essay, all for nothing. Well, not nothing, since I learned a lot and it was really interesting. But still, it was a lot of work, and even though I didn’t do all that I was supposed to (which is a good thing, for I’m never going to finish it) it caused me a lot of stress and it was a waste of time. I won’t have to do CAS. I hated that because it forced me to do community service, and I have no interest in it whatsoever. To date, I only have 11 hours recorded. That’s pretty sad. No more of that paper work and worry.
I’m scared to start in a new school my senior year. As much as I hate Massena, I would much rather stay here than go to some unknown place. I have no idea what it will be like in Baltimore. All I’ve ever seen of it was the hard rock cafe when we went on the Washington trip in 7th grade. Our biggest fear is always of the unknown, and it's definitely mine.
