I think we did a blog really similar to this at the beginning of the school year, about what we wanted to do and accomplish during our junior year. I went back and read mine a while ago, and I realized I didn't like what I said. I mean, of coarse I want to get good test scores and grades and think about my future, but really, is that it? So I thought about how I should've answered that question. And I didn't have an answer.
I kind of like not having an answer. I know, I guess, that I can improve and study and work harder, but I like having some ideas that aren't so cookie-cutter-precise that I know how to sum them up in a two-hundred word English blog, or however long these are supposed to be.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, after everyone else in my family has gone to bed, I'll walk outside and stand in my bare feet on the grass and try to think of something important- how far away the moon is or how the ground feels under my feet or some happy memory I have guarded in my head. I hope this year I can do more things like that. I hope I can have those spontaneous moments of thought and insight, and be able to remember what should be important.
Getting good grades and test scores would be nice, too.
