Welcome To My World

This year I’m starting high school, finally being left home by myself, and learning to start being more mature. This is going to be a big load this year, but I know at the end of the year I will be proud of myself, if I can keep everything up.

      Mom is in her student teaching this year. She is almost done, and can’t wait to be done with driving in to town every day.

      Megan is finishing her associates year at the community college, then she’ll be off to the big college. She’s not very thrilled for all the forty minute drives.

      Shelby is starting college at a local school. It’s very hard to believe she’s old enough to go to college. I still picture her when she was going to Driver’s Ed.

      Whitney is going into fifth grade this year. She isn’t very thrilled that I only have four textbooks and a couple of reading books this year, while she has two box-full’s of textbooks and worksheets.

      The hardest part of staying home, by myself, is going to be one, little blue-eyed wonder: Demon. So far he’s been doing pretty good and not getting into a lot of things. But, he did rip apart a pillow today. I just hope that he’ll be good for me and not try to run away.

      I can hardly wait until Monday when I start school! I know that sounds weird, coming from a 9^th grader, but I love doing my schoolwork. I am especially looking forwards to seeing what teachers I’ll be getting, and (cross your fingers) I don’t get the swine flu this year!!!
