HIGH SCHOOL

The halls are crowded, the school is big, classes are harder, and I’m already stressing over grades; WELCOME to HIGH SCHOOL!

This is what I’ve come up with about high school so far:

 

Pro

-I've met a lot of new people

-I have a lot of  good teachers

-Get out of school earlier
-No longer treated like a little kid
-Hour long lunches

 

Con

-Halls are crowded
-Classes are hard
-Waking up at 6:00 a.m.
-Lots of homework


School is school. A couple weeks before school started I thought I was ready for school to start. High school was going to be GREAT! I was actually going to be productive during the day and not just sit around and watch T.V. I was going to get to see people I hadn’t seen in months.

The thing about a new school year is that I wish so bad there were things that could be the same from last year. I wish I could still yell at Mr. Thomas, Mike, and Blaine in the halls. I wish I could still walk in the halls and see Dalton and yell, “DALTON,” and have him yell, “ZOE.” I wish that I could still walk in and talk to Miz. Parson everyday. Just these little things I am going to miss. I wish that I could just pick up people and bring them with me, but I can’t. Looking back at these people I know that they play a huge role in who I am today. They made me think harder than I had ever thought before, they made me realize things I had never even thought of, and they challenged me to be the best I could be.

I have hit the realization that I am in 10^th grade, I’m going to be turning 16 and getting my license, and I am going to be graduating in 3 years. The days may be long, but the months and years go by fast. In many ways I have taken it for granted. It’s going to be over soon and I will wonder where the time went. I am constantly thinking about the future. I fantasize about what I want my life to be. I don’t ever really live in the moment. I am always thinking ahead weathers it’s in hours, days, months, or years. That is something I am going to try and work on this year.

This is going to be a good school year, I can feel it!    

Summer '10

Summer-A time for family vacations, hanging with friends, sleeping till noon, and best of all NO SCHOOL! Once summer begins it’s as if a whole load is taken off of your shoulders. You no longer have to stay up late doing homework or studying for that major test in biology. 

Summer brings a new excitement. It feels as if you can do anything. New adventures with friends, staying up till all hours of the night, and pushing yourself to do things you would never think of doing. This year my friends and I decided that we were going to make a “bucket list” for the summer. We originally had 50 things, but after we added up how much everything would cost we had to cut back; therefore it became 40 things……

The Pilot

This is the first post of what I'm sure will be many. 

The definition of a blog is : a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer.

This blog is going to be full of stories and pictures about my life. The definition above is the exact definition of what my blog will be like.

The idea behind the title of this blog, 'A to Z with Zoe' is that I will be talking about many different things. I am not going to focus on just one thing and one thing only.  This blog is going to be full of random thoughts and ideas. Whatever I want to write about is what you will see.

More to come.....
