So this is basically what my school life comes down to. My freshmen year was hard, because it was that huge transition from gradeschool to highschool..plus I didn't know anyone coming into highschool. I didn't really want to be there, but I started making friends and even tho, at the time, I wasn't close to them it made things alittle more bearable. Also my highschool is big and the schedules that we get are kinda hard to follow for newbies*cough*me*cough*

Sophmore year I came back to highschool(..duh o.o lol) and I was scared shitless, because they say that sophmore year is the hardest year. But..but but but lol I still had friends that I made my freshmen year. So, I wasn't doing this alone. I had friends that I felt fairly comfortable around to talk to. We were all in this together(and trust me, I did not say that b/c I heard it from highschool musical!!! razz ) So that year was hard academically(sp?) They constantly gave us homework every night and it wasn't just a few math problems. This was like almost 7 classes giving homework to their students. 7 test one day, mabye 4 the next week. No lie. I kept thinking that Junior would be better and I so wished to be an upper classman.....Well I was burnt out by my sophmore year sweatdrop >.< I could hardly make it through the final exams.

Junior year, I felt great! I was happy that I had made it through sophmore year. Now everything is going to be a piece of cake! >3 I was only worried about a few harder classes that I was taking.....The first night I was once again crammed with homework....WHAT THE HECK!?! I thought Sophmore year was suppose to me the hardest year!?!! That's what everyone else said :OO It never lightened up til about around the second quarter, but I was still getting huge amount of homework, i just spent hours on it. This year is hard, because although you don't have everything due the next day..they give you a lot of homework, but they give you a time frame to do it in. This year challenges me on my organization skillz and being responsible. Planning ahead so I'm not having a break down the night before..because if I did wait to the last min(which I have) I would be up very late trying to get it done, no breaks. Also, I'm still burnt out from sophmore year and I have no motivation to do better then alright. It's a constant struggle for me, but I just have to pull through it. If anyone is wondering, I take a College Class American History, Honors Algebra 2, English 3, Theo 3, Art 2, Honors Biology, and a study hall(because I NEED IT!! o.O)
One night, this is no lie! I had a 5 page essay to do, a test, and I had to correct a 50 question paper all in History and it was due the next day!!!! That was way too much for one night!

Anyways, my theme is Hope. Knowing that these temporary problems with go away soon and I can have some time to relax. I like these two sayings. 1) No one said it was going to be easy, they just it would be worth it. 2) If at first you don't succeed...redefine success 3nodding

Here's a shout out to Freshmen and Sophmores. Hang in there! Because I heard that college will be a breeze after highschool. Enjoy what you have now and try not to stress soo much(which is hard). Depending on the classes you take, it will get harder. I know from experience. But just NEVER give up! If I can make it through highschool than so can you =DDD
