Summer is always a time for me to mature. I don’t know why, but it always happens. I thought I matured more than I did, which I didn’t. But I was still more mature than the kids in my classes. (I tend to be immature when I’m with my friends to “fit-in”, and at the same time I fit in just fine with 23 year olds).

It turned out that I did loose the friendship i used to have. All the parent’s had the impression I’m some bad trouble maker. My friendship with the seniors and juniors also helped, even though they were assholes sometimes, they didn’t treat me like my classmates did. They still gave me respect, just enough that it gave me self confidence, and it helped me through the year.

During the summer I visited Japan again, and I talked with my friend Rana Shimada (has no relation to me), who I hadn’t seen since Malaysia (which was 5 years ago!). She told me about the school I was accepted to a few weeks ago.

This year I have had the best classes. Although Mr. Ngyuen, my math teacher, did not have much influence on me, the class was a good place for me to see where I did not want to end up in my life. Mr. Anderson’s AP US History class was boring, but he was a great, interesting teacher. His quote of the day and friday stories were somtimes inspiring. Ms. Ames was my Biology teacher in freshman year, and I was her TA this year. Interesting times, and I realized how annoying freshman are.

Mrs. Page is my Japanese teacher for two periods. 4th and 7th. This is the class i probably pay the most attention to. Not only am i moving to Japan, but it’s also a fun class, and i definatelly feel like i’m learning something everyday (even the days where we get distracted). I always enjoy the class with the seniors and juniors, I feel like i fit in more, at the same time I don’t, because I don’t have the same friends all of them do. 5th Period is Mr. Leeman, my Journalistic Writing teacher. He’s awsome, an ex-military, ex-grant student. He can also be inspiring, though he can’t spell :P. 6th period is Mr. Kilkenny, and well, he just has hilarious jokes, which are very corny to everyone else.

So that gives you a brief summary of my classes this year. Now I’m moving to Japan because of the school I was accepted too. I’ve been wanting this for as long as I can remember, but at the same time, I love everyone here. I’ve made at least 30 friends, which is so nice for me. I will miss them all. I realized while talking to Shaun’s dad today. Last friday was the last day I would be a student at Grant high school. It brought me to tears, which I haven’t cried since i broke up with Jovan 2 years ago.

My story, my life, will continue.

I'm not finished with the design of my blog quite yet, please hold on while I fix the comments, archives, and search templates.
