Starting Line

20 days. There are 20 days left before my first day of High School... Only three weeks. Minus a day. I honestly can't believe it. Am I nervous? Not really... Excited? Hell yes.

The only thing I'm not looking forward to is how on-the-ball I'm going to have to be. In middle school, I did a lot of slacking... but High School is the real deal. My parents' goal for me in life is to go to one of the "family colleges". We have legacies everywhere- my family is a compilation of doctors, scientists, and lawyers. Tough standards. Anyway, I'm not talking about state colleges or even little Ivy League schools. They could care less if I get into Yale or Dartmouth. All they want is for me to attend Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, or Oxford. It's hard, but I think I might be able to do it if I stay completely on top of my game in high school. I'm already on the right track. In 8th grade, I got a head start by taking Algebra I and French I. And I aced my finals.

I guess I'm just kinda nervous because I've never really tried in school. It's always been easy and boring, so I just let the assignments slip away. The hardest part will be breaking the habits I've already established- laziness, procrastination, and bad priorities. We'll see.

Until school starts, I have a lot planned. I'm heading to Boston on the 24th and don't get back until the 30th (the day before school starts). And I won't be back until the late evening... so that could pose a problem... I'll be shopping like a madwoman there, yay!

I got a haircut yesterday at this upscale salon downtown. It looks great, I have to say. I'm becoming a little narcissistic about it. I think it's just because I'm so used to having a mess of long, tangled hair. It was dubbed "the lion's mane", which fit it well.

I'm trying my hand at slam poetry... It's either slam poetry or straight up rapping. Either way, it..'s pretty sweet. I'm not ready to show anything yet.. maybe someday.

Well, nothing else is really going on. That's just a brief update on my life. No point, really. But I'm going to play golf right now. So, laterrrr. (:
