As of today, I am finished with most of my school subjects! *happy dance.*
I did my last tests in science, english, and reading, and I finished spelling and vocabulary and art last week. So basically, I have only two more subjects and then...
I'm done for the entire summer!
Until...you know, fall! I'm soooo happy!
Did you notice? I used italics and bold in that last sentence. Crazy right? But I'm feeling adventurous today.
So, math is gonna be the last thing I finish because there's, you know, a lot of it. And then, get this.
When I finish that. When I finish that last equation in my orange and blue algebra book...
I'll be officially going into... *dramatic and sinister music.* ...High School! *le gasp.*
But, being a real-life, actual, official Freshman-to-be has its privileges.
For instance, the ability to attend these homeschool dances my brothers and friends go to every month, where you learn different dances and practice and then have, like, actual dances with decorations and themes and stuff.
And high school youth group at my amazing church.
And more outings with friends I don't see a whole lot.
And better clothes! So that I actually look like a female of this species! Yayyy!
Last year, I was scared of turning thirteen. You know, the whole, "Oh my gosh! I'm gonna be an official teenager! And I'll start being influenced by society's idea of fashion and having bad friends and spending all my time on the Internet because I can legally have a Facebook and stuff like that, whereas before I just lied about my age!" (Oh, come on. You guys did it too. Get off your high pony.)
But then, I realized that thirteen ain't that bad.
I mean, you're still just an unfortunate middle schooler who takes selfies and is obsessed with 1D. And if you're not like that, I congratulate you on being one of the few who has succeeded in life. You win. Congrats for being one of the only sane middle schoolers left on our lonely planet Earth.
But anyway.
Fourteen, to me, it seems, is the Rite of Passage into the real world.
The real world is also known as High School.
The first step into High School is simply a birthday.
But not only a birthday.
The birthday.
The Rite of Passage birthday.
High School is a big step in life. You meet more people who are even bigger jerks than they were in middle school, and your social status plummets until you can build a little castle around yourself to both make you look good and sheild you from the blows of the aforementioned jerks.
What a great metaphor. I'm very proud of that metaphor. Or is it an analogy?
Like I said, I'm finished with Vocabulary.
But, to stay on topic, fourteen, somehow, seems much larger than thirteen did.
Maybe it's just that thirteen is only one step above twelve, which is, like the most immature time for boys, and also not the best time for girls. Thirteen is just a year after that. You can't have matured that much, right?
But fourteen...Well, fourteen is just one year before fifteen, which is only a number away from sixteen!
And then, well, you have seventeen coming up fast, and before you know it...
You're a flippin' adult! *scariness.*
So, although I'm actually looking foreword to this birthday of mine, it doesn't seem nearly as intimidating as thirteen did.
And that's probably a good thing.
So anyway, by the next time I post, I'll be done with school! And all you lovely people out there will be done with school! Or almost done! Or kind of almost done!
And then, when we all have the weight of those boring final tests off our heavily-laden shoulders, we can do summery things!
Like talk about beaches and pools and sodas and sleepovers and sleeping in and hamburgers and parties in the middle of the week and all that summer stuff we've missed so much since that stupid month called September decided to start torturing us again last year.
And so, as the heat begins to roll in, lets roll out our towels and do some tanning!
Let's get this summer started and live it up with friends and ice cream and sleep deprivation and music and camps and everything amazing about this time of year.
Hang up your backpacks, kids, and let's forget about those silly summer reading assignments. You can do that in August.
For now, finish as quick as possible,and let's make Summer 2013 absolutely unforgettable.
Happy summer, and I'll see you guys next week! :D
Keep Calm and Endeavor On,
~Adalyn
