This year, in one word, has been a dangerous year. Ive been lucky so many times, and I've been relying way too much on luck to save my butt.
So many times have I waited til 10 at night to start doing homework or study for tests, not to mention that I would've completely failed a bunch of tests if I hadn't studied in liter's class. Each day was full of cramming and rushing through to get to my lessons, clubs, etc.
But I think I enjoyed this year, and I doubt I'll regret much. If anything, I hope that I won't procrastinate next year, notorious junior year.
I experienced my first ap tests this year, and.. of course I procrastinated for this too. the AB exam? night before. the psych exam? well, let's say 2 days before. One person I think that I have a lot to learn from is Monica Jeong. She's seriously a studying machine, but I admire that quality to be able to sit in one place and study. I think the most I can sit still would be about 10 minutes of extreme concentration.
Though everyone says sophomore year should be the easiest year in high school, somehow I was never free for awhile. But I'm fine with that - it gives me a good rhythm.
Apart from schoolwork, I got to know my past friends better, got to know new people, and got closer to those I didn't know before. And because I am human, I'm sorry to say that I don't talk to some people as much as I used to. And, as Omkar likes to say, this year was full of social drama, not necessarily good, but still drama.
I'll miss everyone that won't be here next year, and I hope that next year isn't really as a killer as everyone says it will be. 2 more years..
AH. i just found out that i have to brainstorm 3 ideas of outreach programs in the community level for my interview. i cant think of any. maybe teach english to fobs?
