2007!?!?

thats funny, cause when I last checked I was in the class of 2007...
what does this mean?
wait a minute...that must mean I'm graduating in 5 months.
should I be happy or sad?  It seems to be a bit of both, I think I still have time enough for both.
Thats pretty crazy though, what comes next? 
Well last year my language arts teacher kept talking about the "real world" that we had to face and it sounded pretty scary.  At first I thought he meant "the real world", like MTV, but then I thought that can't be, we can't all be on the real world, who would there be left to watch it?  That would just be crazy.  So there must be like this other real world.  From what I heard its kinda different, and you can do most anything you want to.

....wait a minute thats not right, thats what they told us in elementary so we could look forward to the real world,  Nowadays people are just like, "don't screw up to bad and things won't totally suck for you."  That kinda makes me fear and hate this "real world", I'm still not exactly sure what it is but apparently its going to trap me for the rest of my life...that is  unless I manage to get old and rich and move to florida and have other people do everything for me.

Well in any case I'm not really going out to face the real world yet.  That would be crazy scary.  First I'll put it off by going to college.  Maybe I'll learn something there, and I don't just mean discreet math, the significance of the rise of agriculture in the developement of civilization and how to use a semicolon;  maybe I'll learn something about myself, like what I want to do and how I want to get there.

Maybe I'll learn how to appreciate where I am now and make the most of that (not likely, I've been trying that for a while).  But perhaps I can take some of that with me now.  I won't say anything grand like the last 5 months of highschool will be my best 5 months ever, nothing can live up to those kind of expectations, but at least I'll make the best of them.  And hopefully I can carry the most important part of high school with me to the next stage of my life (people of course!!).  Even if not I hope that I can still get to know you better, because those are really the only memories that matter.

Is this a new years resolution.  Well maybe, but I've never really made them before and this seems to vague to say that I either passed  or failed,  but at least its something to try.

Hope your 2007 fares as well as I hope mine will.
