This is the last day of summer.
I start school tomorrow.
Part of me -- an exceedingly small part of me -- is excited that school is starting again, but the biggest part of me is not ready. It seems like it was just a couple days ago that I was getting out of school, and now I'm going back. Back to homework, back to teachers, back to reading books during lunch, back to having no friends in any of my classes.
I want to change things this year and I will try to, but the only problem is that my school has so many groups that were formed ages ago, that I am not sure where I fit in. I know that if I just open up and not be so shy all the time I can find a place to fit, but that is more easily said than done. Maybe this year I'll grow out of my debilitating shyness. I hope so.
Most of my classes this year are easy. The only classes I'm nervous about are Geometry, Biology and Gym. I am not looking forward to Geometry, because the teacher is really strict, judging from what I've heard. He's also "useless," according to other people, and to get math, I need a teacher who is not useless. Thankfully my best friend is taking Geometry as well (albeit from a different school), so she'll help me. I am also not looking forward to Biology because I'm not good with science, and Gym because I am not an athlete, and anyone who considers me good at sports needs their eyes checked.
Pretty much the only things I'm excited about are the following:
Oh, and I have to finish about eighty pages of Oscar and Lucinda for summer reading.
By tomorrow.
(Yes, I am a procrastinator. Yes, that will change this school year.)

Pretty much the only things I'm excited about are the following:
- my new clothes,
- the fact that English is all year long,
- that I got Creative Writing in the second semester, so I have two writing/reading classes in a semester, and
- that I have a study hall where I can do my homework, so that I have plenty of time in November to write during NaNo.
Oh, and I have to finish about eighty pages of Oscar and Lucinda for summer reading.
