is it friday yet?
way to not update in 5 billion years, michele!
these past few weeks have been... interesting. not so relaxing, either. between school and life and everything is just so stressful.
but i learned some stuff, too.
i learned that "the most constant thing in our world is change". people's feelings change. people's priorities change. sometimes, things seem so easy to grab, when really, they're illusional. afterwards, you realize you never even had it in the first place! sometimes, you realize you did, and it wasn't the best thing in the world. either way, change is inevitable, but life goes on.
i also learned to appriciate what you have, because one day, it could just disappear. you could lose your favorite ring or cd or rock... just anything can be lost. but so can people. physically, they can disappear. and they can also disappear from your life in general.
my friends now aren't the same friends i had a year ago--not even six months ago. i was watching The Fox and the Hound the other day, and in it, the fox (todd) says to the hound (copper) something like "you're my bestest friend. we'll always be best friends, won't we copper?" the things little kids say. i remember saying that to my friends in elementary school. out of my "group" of six (including me), one moved to new jersey, one now goes to private school, one's "popular", one's the top in our class, and one is still close to me. and i guess we're all still friends, i mean, when we see eachother it's the same. but it also isn't. i also still wish that it was the same as the way things used to be...
it's been a long few weeks...
some good things, though. i'm seeing rent on november 7. i held the tickets in my hands this morning! it was unforgettable. I'M seeing rent! RENT! awesome.
i'm also officially going to italy with the school in february. i'm very much looking forward to that. i'm going with the best people in the world, too. the music department in my school! of course, jamie who isn't in music isn't going, which saddens me, but i'll live.
i'm starting to like school a little better... we had spirit week last week, which was awful. and homecoming...just...no. it got rained out saturday night and then re-scheduled for yesterday. who has homecoming on a monday night?? our school.
i'm starting to think about college a lot. i guess that's a good thing. i don't know. i really wanna get into a good school. i think i need to try harder in school. no. i need to pace myself more instead of cramming everything. i'm a sophmore, now. i can't do that anymore.
i think i'm done writing. i need sleep. i look like a ghost.
hmm... what quote suits this entry? i think i'm gonna try to do that. take the entry and sum it up in one quote.
aha! i found one. i've been keeping documentation of a bunch of quotes since my first day of high school last year. the ones i've come up with are pretty awesome.
"The more freedom we enjoy, the greater the responsibility we bear towards others, as well as ourselves."
