First Day Woes

Back again, to the crap hole that is high school. I can't believe I'm in year 12. I can't believe most of our group have gone to a better place. It's really lonely, when we look at our diminished group and think longingly about the freedom of uni holidays that half of us are enjoying at the moment. Farewell Audrey, Chris, Tim, Rachel and Roswin, you will be sorely missed. Geez, I make it sound like they've died [touch wood]. Jeremy and Ashwyn aren't around either, but nobody really misses them all that much.

The scariest thing about first day is going to your new classes, walking through the door that first time and scanning the room, looking for someone, ANYONE that you know, so you can pretend like you have friends. I walked into english, and there was nobody. I was panicked for a second, but then i realized Chan was there...THANK GOD. Kymbat and Tara are in my Physics so that's good as well.

I've promised myself that I'm going to put my head down and study like a maniacal slave driven beast. No joke. If most of my scores are in the high 40s then theres a slight chance I may get over 99. I say slight because I'm a total dumbass and I can't really do anything right, at all. I'm aiming for [raw] over 45 for chem and physics, over 40 for spesh [little to no hope there] and HIGH 40s for english. Just one more year....

Love,
Mel
