Reflections

Senior year has been met with an extensive list of regrets, coupled with some of my life's greatest experiences. Beginning the year with a mop upon my chin was pretty reassuring, and I feel I've had some marginal development socially. When it comes to courses, my six (or eight) advanced placement classes have been, while informative and rewarding, incredibly stressful and occasionally infuriating. This is primarily a result of taking AP Computer Science with absolutely no prior experience though, which I'm certainly to blame for. Symphonic Orchestra is as monotonous as always, though second chair in districts was a nice experience, despite my potential butchering of the Bach Fugue. Sigh. Graduation is irrelevant to me really, my past four years of work will hopefully be capitalized on come college acceptances in April. Gah, I forgot to enter credits when filling out my schedule on the common app, still quite frightened about that. I'll try to take a break from all the pessimism though. My applications were at least finished on time, and I was very happy with the essays. AP Physics and Econ have been interesting, though I'm missing Mr. Gannon. Government has actually been one of my least stressful classes, excluding a recent quiz that shall not be named. SALT II, grrr! Robotics has started, resulting in 20 fewer hours a week, so I'm eagerly awaiting the end of the semester. Following the robotics build season and rejection letters, I aspire to sleep over six hours a night and speak over twelve words to those outside my tightly-knit circle of friends and acquaintances.Though honestly, I'm incredibly excited for graduation itself, quite the experience. Only a few months more!
