Yes,

It's been a while.
I guess I'm a senior or something. I just feel like an old junior, though. I realize that I'm old when I find myself looking around for the seniors (class of 2009) from last year. And then again, I realize they have all graduated. It's a truly odd feeling to know that you are experiencing the last of something. I will never be in high school again after this year.

Life has been different lately. I haven't been percieving it as this huge thing where you can either pass or FAIL. Recently I have taken it as a huge wonder. Something where you have to experience everything, and it takes a lot more than a transcript or a club memberships to determine whether you pass or fail. Sink or swim.
I'd like to say that I'm doing the Butterfly Stroke. I think that's the hardest one. Right?
Well, if it is- then I'm doing it. I've been managing quite beautifully. I've been doing what I want, living on the edge. Well not too much. More like a yard or two from the edge. Nevertheless still risky. Risque.
And I still have been incredibly focused. More so than usual. It is still early though.

Hopefully I won't be dog- paddling by the end of first semester.

I just want to be successful.
