I haven't formed my thoughts about this school year yet because it's only the second day but my first day was straight fire. I got to reunite with the friends and meet my teachers and all the good stuff but I did burst into tears after school because I realized that I do actually have to go back every day. Not mentally prepared yet. I may have also just started sobbing because I woke up at 5:30 a.m. but I'm sure I'll have worse states of delirium as the year progresses. In all honesty, every first day of school has been the same for me since I became a sentient being somewhere around the second grade. All of the teachers ask if I'm related to my siblings who graduated long before me and have apparently left a legacy for me to fulfill. It does get a bit stressful, considering how my new teachers might adjust to me just not being as funny or creative or talented as my older brother and sister. School does have it's charming though. I desperately wanted summer to last forever... but today in orchestra we played some of our Christmas music for the first time and I was filled with that warm, fuzzy feeling the holidays give me. I finally felt that maybe the seasons changing isn't so bad. So I guess things at school are pointing towards a good year.

I haven't formed my thoughts about school either. I think it's just too early to tell. I am also not mentally prepared as well and I am already feeling a little stressed out. But I do think that this year will be a god year, we just have to think positive.
ReplyDeleteYeah there is stuff to look forward to, especially the musical and stuff
DeleteI feel the same way! On the first day I kept thinking, "This isn't real, I'm just dreaming, I'm not awake at 5:45 a.m., I'm just imagining it." Regardless, on the second day the full force of the year began to kick in and I realize that all of my responsibilities are back and its time to start working. I already had to present facts about the Immune System in the Human Body System (though I did enjoy learning about the Immune System and the other systems presented). Now my school brain has kicked in and I'm ready to go!
ReplyDeleteAs soon as I get invested in something I'll be more motivated to do school stuff and participate.
DeleteI usually wake up early anyhow, so it wouldn't be bothering me if I wasn't consistently waking up at 4:00 instead of 5:00...Every day I wake up at 4 sharp; it's very bizarre. Here's to adjusting with waking up with the sun!
ReplyDeleteLiterally how and when do you go to sleep
DeleteOh, my goodness I feel the same way. That pit of dread in your stomach when you realize that yes, you actually have to function like a normal human being at 5:50 AM and that yes, you have to do that for 178-odd more days... It is a little unpleasant at first but we'll get through this together! I look forward to seeing you in homeroom everyday in my half-delirious state!
ReplyDelete:D (pls disregard what I said in homeroom I love and appreciate the comment)
DeleteHaha I know I totally get what you meant. Homeroom is definitely the right time to rant (:

ReplyDeleteI agree, it has always been quite difficult to transition from the relaxed summer life to the start of school; knowing the hectic cycle of each day that lies ahead for the next ten months! However, I bet we will all make great school memories and experiences this year!
ReplyDeleteyes we will :D love ya
DeleteI like that it was Christmas music that made the beginning of school feel a bit better!
ReplyDeletelol it really was!! I was having this feeling of dread a few days before school started because I love summertime so much... but then all of the sudden I couldn't wait for fall. Now January through April, that might be rough.
Deletesounds like you had a good first day
ReplyDeleteexcept for math. it might be a struggle ngl but we have each other
DeleteFirst day sounds fun
ReplyDeleteyeah it wasn't so bad as far as first days go lolol
DeleteI relate to this so much. Every time school starts I just think about how its getting closer to Christmas.
ReplyDeleteright?? I love the buildup to christmas, it makes fall so much better
DeleteBro I really relate. I didn't want summer to end at all (I feel like everyone is saying that) and I wasn't really excited for this year. I do agree that there are upsides to the school year, though. And about the older sibling thing- I WISH teachers would be able to ask me about an older sibling and how they're doing. I have to go through all the trouble of creating the legacy. Think about that one.
ReplyDeletebruh i don't want to hear this oldest-sibling propaganda #youngestsiblinggang
DeleteI loooove Christmas music! No matter what time of year it is when I hear it, I get that warm, fuzzy feeling you were talking about. Best thing ever.
ReplyDeleteit really is!!
DeleteI am so excited for Christmas! Looking forward to the holidays is the only thing that gets me through the school year. Great job!
ReplyDeletewell jsyk christmas break is extra long this year so that gives me the strength to pull through. Thank you!!
Deletewaking up at 5:30 is tough.
ReplyDeleteyeah but as long as i get to shower before school its aight
DeleteThe only thing that I'm looking forward to is Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas! I just keep telling myself I have to go to school to get to those holidays.
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know you are just as funny, talented, and smart as your siblings. Long live Grace.
ReplyDeleteyou are amazing and talented bb! and though I may not know about having to fill a legacy of my older siblings, being the oldest of my family, let me tell you, it's tough to set an example too. We're all struggling a little bit, but I really hope you start enjoying school this year. <3
