I’m pretty sure I’m the only one giving up on a good night’s rest in favor of finishing all this up. Robert hasn’t posted Episode 9 of his Blogosphere. I’m honestly a little worried. (Robert, I’m rooting for you.)
I’m scared to start this school year. Too scared to sleep, too scared to play an outfit, to scared to finish off these posts. Once I do, that means I’ll have to put the phone down, take a shower, and then go to bed. And wake up at 5:30. And actually get ready for the first day of school. It’s overwhelming.
I’m scared to do anything wrong, just in case I don’t have time to fix my mistakes. I don’t feel like a kid anymore, able to make mistakes and learn from them. I feel like everyone older than us is forcing life lessons on way too early, before we’ve experienced anything remotely life changing and adult-ish.
God, what am I gonna wear tomorrow? I feel like pockets are a requirement. That’s not such a weird thought, is it? I feel like pockets will help me get through the first day of symbolic prison. They’ll be my emotional support pockets.
So jeans? I asked some people what they were wearing, because I’m just an anxious person, and they said a jacket? How could you even fathom wearing a coat in this weather?
But I get it. Comfort clothes for a probably less-than-stellar first day. I wish i was that brave.
It’s been such a struggle finding shorts long enough to accommodate the school dress code, it’s honestly ridiculous. I just wanna be comfortable, man. It’s no fair.
Less than one hundred words left before I can go to bed. Or lie in bed worrying about tomorrow. How can I get the peace of mind to get a good night’s rest now that everything’s been done? It’s been a wild day. Submitting every single journal entry in the span of 24 hours. Not all of them were written this late, buuutt... I can say most of them were. It’s been thrilling.
This is your last blog post as well as my last comment. I am also terrified of tomorrow. My schedule is a complete mess. Only a few of my classes are correct. I have no idea what I am wearing. I might just have to break the dress code first day considering the heat index will possibly be around 116 degrees like it was earlier today, well yesterday. I hope we can all push through and have a great day, despite the majority of us being sleep deprived. I also hope you find shorts to accommodate the strict dress code we have. Ethan is also finishing up/ starting his summer assignments, and he just had the audacity to ask me to play Roblox. It is quite tempting, but I think I'll have to pass. Goodnight streaks. -Victoria #11
ReplyDeleteI'm honored to have such a friend such as you, Vin. It's good to know someone is rooting for me, even when I didn't feel like rooting for myself. And about school starting back up, don't get yourself too worked up. You have tons of people behind you to catch you if you fall. I completely relate to your whole statements about writing these blogs so late on the night before we go back to school. I wrote most of mine within the matter of hours. Some just kinda sat in my notes, but most where all thought out of in the spur of the moment. Procrastination at it's best. Just keep in mind, Vin, you've got this! -Robert
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing this the third week of school, so I hope it's going good so far! I understand the fear and anxiety of waking up and going to school. I've been to 3 different schools in the last 3 years, so I understand what it's like to be new, too. It's not the most fun, but you get to meet a whole lot of people. Some are bad, but most are good. I guess it depends on where you are and what the people are like. I hope people are being nice and that you're having a good year so far. These 3 weeks have gone by pretty quick in my opinion, but everyone is different. I don't know how it is for you, so I can't speak on that. Anyway, have a great rest of the year!
