I am back from winter break and I’m so ready for school again (not). Well I’m ready for school but I’m not ready to set my alarm to 6:30 again. But at this point, knowing that I’m half ways there is what keeps me motivated, I want to finish strong. The realization that I'm so close to getting my hands on a diploma is getting stronger and stronger every day. It makes my stomach drop sometimes and it makes me smile other days. But that's normal right? Lol. Everytime I get lazy or I'm just too tired I just remind myself, “YOU'RE HALFWAY THERE!”
So far it looks like I'm on pace on pretty much everything. CNA has me very stressed out but I think the experience will be worth it. As of right now I need to just finish my drama class since I'm almost done with it. I'm pretty surprised I've survived this long in AP Literature though lol. I seriously thought I would drop out or get dropped. But I haven't =) I think my grades are pretty decent and I do a good job at being on pace. French is another story… I’m struggling a little bit since we got a new teacher and whole new system. I’m trying my best to keep my grades up in that particular class. For government I'm almost done and it looks I'll be done in time to get Econ next. I have a couple of free periods so that gives me time to work on other classes. Yay! I was hoping that I might be able to graduate early but I don't know if I want to do that yet. I feel like I’ll miss my teachers or friends..
I found out that I got accepted to COS, so that's great. Right now I'm just trying to finish my FAFSA and keep my eyes peeled for any scholarships. Honestly, I don't like the idea of scholarships but then again I want to get a better education so I need the money. I’m also researching and finding more about my dream job and the university I plan to transfer to. I really dislike that I feel in the dark about all this college stuff. I wish that I had an older sibling to help me out. But I know that I can’t let that stop me. If i have to teach myself then I will. I’m not afraid to do things by myself.
Then there’s jobs… Ya I haven’t exactly found a job yet. I keep telling myself that I’ll go out and find one but I don’t. I’m worried that I’ll neglect school if I get a job. I’m trying to decide if I should just wait until I graduate to get a job but I’m still not sure. I did however apply to one awhile back and got called in for an interview. I ended up not accepting the job because of time inconvenience. The experience was great though. I learned what employers looked for and what to have to satisfy that. I learned about the process of job searching. I know the experience is going to come in handy very soon.
