Second semester came a lot quicker than expected. It was after winter break, everything sort of sped up. Winter break could have gone slower, however it flew by and now I am almost done. During winter break, I spent a lot of time with my family. I enjoyed taking time away from school and all the hectic stress I was dealing with at school.
First semester was hectic due to college applications and school work. Fortunately, I got both done, all in time. I enjoyed applying to colleges just because it was interesting to see where my friends applied to and where they wanted to go. I also enjoyed first semester because the work was hard, but not near as hard as the work in second semester will be.
Now that we are in second semester, it is hitting me that I have a lot to do. I have my senior exit interview to do, and a lot more work when it comes to my classes. AVID is getting harder and with an AP course, I have a lot more work heading my way this semester.
Some things I regret would have to be the fact that I did not do early completion so I did not get to present my exit interview first semester. I regret not signing up for early completion because it was one of those things that I wanted to get out of the way, but did not get the chance to. I also regret procrastinating because it led to me almost not passing some classes. This really opened my eyes because my procrastination problem has never kept me from not passing a class and this last semester, it was a different story since I was close to not passing AVID and advanced art.
Second semester my goal is to get things done sooner rather than later so I do not have to worry about staying up late or of course worry about not passing a class. Considering that these seven classes I currently have, HAVE to be completed in order for me to graduate, is already nerve racking as it is. I would not want to put any more stress to myself.
On top of school and my stress levels being at an all time high, I am also anxiously waiting for colleges to reach out to me to tell me if I got accepted or not. I have gotten accepted into two colleges so far, them being Fresno State and East Bay. However, I am waiting to hear back from Sacramento, being my first choice and Chico, being my second. I am nervous about having to make big decisions like where I will live, who will I live with and ultimately how I will even afford it all. We have finished FAFSA so now all I am waiting for is to get that acceptance from my dream college so that I can head straight there after high school. I am so motivated to get out of here and experience life out of my little hometown.
