In the beginning of my freshman year I thought I was ready for the whole thing. I'm obviously still getting through it. Lets see how my freshman goals and year have been going. And how caffeine can really save a soul!
I'm pretty sure that high school has finally made me crazy! :D In the beginning of the year I faced high school head on, made it clear that I didn't want any drama, knew that I was going to get good grades and I'm very satisfied with myself because there's NO drama and I'm getting all A's and B's. I really don't have any problems in high school, it's going pretty well and smooth for me. All my classes are fun, except for Spanish in which I've been struggling in since day uno. No mas Española por favor. Teachers are still awesome and always there to help with anything that I don't catch onto. I've also gotten to know a lot of people from the office and they are always there to listen to me, even if I'm just having a bad day. That makes me feel really good and happy.
I have 3 best friends, I know that may be a lot but they're the things I hold closest to my heart. Their names are Michael, Eric and Sara. The thing that makes me really sad is that Michael is a Senior so he's going to be leaving at the end of this school year. The good part to that is that he'll just be across the street, yay! Eric and Sara are both juniors, so next year will be their last year here. They're really my whole group of friends so without them I don't know what to do, this scares me. I know that for the rest of the year I'm going to try and make new friends with freshmen and sophomores. It's pretty hard for me to pick and choose my friends because I have trust issues with most girls and some guys. The thing that makes me really happy to have my 3 is that they're older so they can help me with anything from homework to daily advice! That's what I'll miss most.
In the beginning of the school year I was just getting out of a 10 month relationship and it was pretty sad. I am and have been single for the whole semester, and I’m okay with that. I don’t have time for a relationship, I focus on school, dance and my friends and family. One of my friends I guess you can call and I have a connection and hit things off pretty well in the beginning of the semester and we’ve grown pretty close. But there’s no need to ruin a good friendship with a relationship that will just end up getting complicated and leave off on a bad note.
In my opinion I hate and cannot stand being in a p.e class. I can’t stand to do different things all the time. I dance, I love to dance because not only are you working every muscle in your body but to me it’s like a physical therapy. In a combo or routine we learn that you can do anything with the moves, it depends on the emotion you put into it, that’s what makes it beautiful, because everyone’s is different. You can be dancing to Eminem and I love to do hip hop to his songs because there is so much emotion of anger and pain. You can also be dancing to Sam Smith or even music with not one lyric. There’s more pain in those types of routines. There is a story that needs to be told, not only with words but in your body movement, what you are feeling. For our dance final this semester we are doing a combo to Sam Smith’s “latch”, but it is a piano version so it’s more slow and emotional. When we were learning the combo there was so much emotion being put into the moves that people in the class were actually crying! Like I said before it’s like a therapy. To show your feelings through body movement is hard, it’s hard because you need to control your body and you’re working every muscle. In the end it pays off. Dance is my favorite class because of that.
In the beginning of the year I had completely NO upper-body strength. No that I’m in the middle of the school year and I dance it’s pretty obligated to have it. My core and arms are finally getting to my liking for dance, with all the push ups, sit ups, planks, crunches etc. They help me hit those marks in a combo. I’ve always had the leg flexibility and strength from years of soccer and a little bit of gymnastics. I’m working out a lot in dance in and out of school and I love to do it. I am setting a goal for next year as well. My goal for next year is to stick to dancing because I love it so much and I can only get better over time with work and practice. I want to get better and gain more upper- body strength by this time next year.
I am so happy that 1/8th of my high school experience is coming to an end because I have so much more ahead of me. I remember the first day like it was yesterday, walking into my classrooms with my tail hidden between my skinny jeans, band tee and oversized jacket. Ahh the days..oh wait still in those. I still dread coming to school daily because I AM ALWAYS TIRED!! Caffeine is always nice though!! I have been drinking coffee a lot more lately though because even the thought of a "final" puts me to sleep. We are just getting started with finals and the new year yet I want it to be cold and winter again. as you know winter doesn't last long around here, if it even decides to show up.
Well, maybe I'll read this when I'm a senior and think "wow such a nerd." but right now ill just be finishing up. I'm getting too lazy, I'm falling asleep and my hands are starting to hurt. Well, so long my fellow acquaintances. Have a god rest of your school year! See you next essay Mr.G assigns.
