Tick...Tock

It's really kind of crazy actually. My junior year of high school is almost gone. I'm not quite sure how it happened. I was certain that yesterday was my trip to Hawaii, my first day of school, or even Sadie Hawkins, but I look at my calendar and I realize, it's all gone. Prom was last week. Last week! Can you believe it? I spent all that time preparing for it, and it's over. This upcoming weekend I have two pretty big school trips planned, and it's just going to be a little bit crazy. But seriously, where did all the time go?

It doesn't seem right that this is one of my last blogs to ever have to write for a grade as a junior. There's no way that I've already (almost) completed 11 years of schooling, and by the end of the next one, I'll be well on my way to college and the big world out there. Kind of a scary thought.

Now, I know that for the entirety of this year I've been saying, this year has gone by SOOOO SLOW! But now that I'm at the end, the race doesn't seem like it was that long. I've made so many new friends this year, especially seniors, that I wish I would have gotten to know last year so we could become better friends. But I didn't. And now, they're going to be gone in a matter of weeks, and I may never, ever see them again. We won't have any more matches together, no more helpful hints at school, and no more therapy sessions after a long day. It will all be over, and I won't ever get these days back. It's a little depressing. In some ways, change is good, even needed, but just now, I don't want my life to change. I want to stay in my little bubble and not have to leave my friends, family, and security. But things are changing, and too quickly I might add. Even though I still have one more long year of high school ahead of me, I'm sure that, when I walk down the aisle to get my diploma, in my mind's eye I'll be walking the halls of high school for the first time.
