blah blah blah LIFE

It's funny looking back on things you wrote a year ago.. seeing how much your life and your values have changed. Realizing how much your life can change in one year really makes you wonder how much different your life will be the next year.

I doubt that anyone will read this. And if anyone does read this, you most likely don't know who I am or remember ever seeing me around this website (because I joined for a few months, and then I rarely had time to log on).

But anyway, I was reading my old blogs. All three of them. And boy, did things change. My first blog was about how excited I was to be starting my junior year of high school and the adventures that lied ahead of me and my classmates and friends. In October of that year, we found out our school was closing. The school that had become my home. The school that my mom and all of my aunts went to. The all girls catholic high school our community needed, but most girls who lived on the peninsula went to school elsewhere because they thought they were too good for our school.

It's now August, two months after school ended. It doesn't seem real, and I don't think I'll ever fully understand how our school wasn't saved with the amount of alumni and other people in the community raising money and awareness to try to reopen the school under different management. But no, three years of making friends and a great reputation are gone down the drain because although we always say we'll make plans and hang out, those plans never seem to come about, except with the people who really made a difference in your life. Those are the people you always go to, and they will always be there. And I don't think that will ever change.

So my good reputation and many friends will be partly lost. Most of my friends are going to a school together, and I was going to go there with them, but I really couldn't stand that school or see myself there. So I decided to go to a public school a block away from my home. I met some new people who go there and they are pretty cool, and a friend from my old school transferred there in the middle of the school year. I don't think it will be too bad after a while, but I am surprised at myself for willingly not going to school with my closest friends. It was hard but I had to do it. And if they are my real friends, we'll make time for each other after school and on the weekends.

Thanks for reading my life story. I look forward to coming back a year from now and seeing how the school year went, and who I am still close friends with.. and if you are reading this, please leave a comment so I know! THE END
