Well, there are about 4 more days of summer. Wow, that's scary. Summer always flies by, no matter how much I try to savor it. I'm always flabbergasted by how very fast each summer goes. It seems like, even though it's a shorter period of time than school is, summer is our natural habitat. School is then, unnatural. I love school, though, which most people gasp at, but really, think about it...you're with all your friends (plus some bitter enemies, not that I have any), learning together. How cool! That's not exactly how everyone looks at it, but I guess I'm the optimist. So anyways, this year will be quite a bit different than the previous. Middle school's LONG gone, and the innocence of most has dissipated. Just the other night, there was a football game that most people attended. I said "hi" to someone who's always been a bit of a drama queen, but she responded back in such a bratty way, "hhiiii." I can't fully describe it with just words. Then, I mingled over to a group of south-shorians whom I had recently started hanging around (I knew them mostly from the play), and they were all talking about boys (nothing wrong with that, I suppose) and swearing and such. I just didn't feel comfortable. But then I went over the "popular" crowd, and I actually felt much more comfortable there. Most people think that just because they're popular, that they are mean, they swear non-stop, and they don't like anyone. And they aren't like that! These are my friends, and for the most part, they accept me. Now, they are definitely not my best friends, but I have a hard time just ditching one group to start hanging out with another.
So anyways, I am really amazed by the differences (even over this 3 month summer) of people, the changes they have made, thinking it would make them look cooler. Well, it definitely doesn't make them look cooler, that's for sure. I've heard lots of stories of people in high school who drink and smoke and get into drugs. It's sad, but I can already pinpoint people who will very possibly have those problems. My goal for high school is to stay true to myself, to not let anyone deter me from being ME!
