Dear Diary,
It's so strange to think that in less than three months, my junior year of high school will be over, and then in the fall I'll be starting my senior year. The very last year, and then I'll be graduating and going off to college. I have a bit of trouble adjusting to the thought, it seems to me like it doesn't make any sense at all. And I'm still struggling to figure out what to do when I get there. I mean, I'll probably go on and study film, but I feel like I've learnt so much with Mr. Spencer that it would be practically pointless to go on in that field, like I would only be re-learning all that I already know from a lousier teacher. I just wish I could stay here forever, it would make my life that much better, but then I figure after a few years I'd feel rather lost and out of place, especially without my friends.
That worries me, too. After all, there's no saying we'll all stay around here for college, and then what? Well, I know Nate is gonna be staying in KC for college, which is good considering he's the one graduating this year, but still, Oliver and I haven't really talked about it, and there have been a few conversations about it with Jillian but it's mostly always maybes and perhaps and it's possible and so on. Then again, Kristen stayed in KC, and I think Marchel will too, so I guess that would be a good incentive for Jilly to stay around as well. And then I can only hope that Oliver will also be going to a college nearby to the one I'm going, if not the same. And maybe we could even move in together... though maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. But I love him so I suppose it's normal to consider the idea of living with him. It seems to me like it would be so great... of course, we'd be likely to fight from time to time but still, who doesn't. I'll have to talk to him about it all I suppose. Well, not so much living together as where he's going for college.
And I've heard so often people telling me not to base my college preferences on where my friends are going, but I think people who said that either didn't have friends or didn't care about their friendships as much. Or well, maybe they just cared about their future more than their friendships, which I guess is a good thing considering friends won't pay the bills whereas a job will. And I guess it is the sensible thing for everyone to do though it must seem hard for everyone who does have friends. But I just feel like it would be much simpler if everyone just decided to stick around. I don't really have preferences anyway, I'm not even sure of what I want to study, so I don't see the harm in going where my friends are going for now. Maybe later on when I figure it all out I'll have to part for them, but for now it seems like a good start.
Anyway, to get there I have to graduate, and to graduate I have to get to senior year, and to get to senior year I have to pass exams and finish essays and study and such, so I suppose I should get working on that.
