Not that I was really expecting it, but senior year is nothing at all like what everyone tells you. I'm not even taking as many AP classes as my peers and the majority of the time I'm drowning in homework. Pretty much all of my teachers seem to band up against me each week and schedule their tests on the same day or all huge projects due on the same day.
I'm not a total slacker, but I have found that the senioritis I thought I experienced my junior year was absolutely nothing compared to actual senioritis this year. Now, I'm not touting that my work is sloppy and done at the last minute, but it seriously takes so much effort to do one simple worksheet of math problems or write these blog posts or even practice violin. I'm not even into my first choice school yet, so there really is no excuse to be slacking off, but inevitably that lack of attention to my school work has somehow completely infiltrated into every part of my life. It really sucks.
HOWEVER, despite tests/schoolwork/college apps/scholarships/life/work, senior year has been pretty darn good. Maybe the only reason for this is because I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. It still seems a pretty long way away, but at least I'm working towards something. I'd have to say that I totally lucked out with all of my teachers this year, and that they're all stellar. School work hasn't been completely pointless (even though I think I still use that excuse the majority of the time). For once I actually understand calculus and actually seem to be good at it. There were tons of good movies this year (sorry Stroud, watching the Golden Globes, but you know it's true). There were tons of good TV shows (Sherlock! Walking Dead! Mad Men is coming back in March!) And now you know why I'm so distracted by things other than homework.
But I'm sure your life is more stressful than mine, so I shouldn't be talking. :)
LONG WAIT TILL APRIL 1ST.
