Decisions, Decisions..

             It's January 18, 2011. Almost exactly four months until graduation. (more or less)
I'm sitting at my desk, looking at my computer, trying to absorb this information. I don't know if I'm ready yet. Sure, I can't WAIT until highschool is OVER. But, when I say that, I mostly mean being associated with the immature younger students in my school. Or going to classes I don't even need now! Or sitting in the same spot every day, with no variety! In that sense, yes, I CAN NOT WAIT TO LEAVE HIGHSCHOOL.

But there are things I don't want to leave, too. Like, my friends that won't be going to the same college as me. My amazing teachers..especially Mr. Reed. He's been such a great encouragement (even though sometimes it doesn't SEEM that way). I don't think I'm ready to go off on my own yet either. Paying bills, paying taxes..not something I really look forward to! But, we all have to grow up sometime, right?

I also have things that I want to happen before this is all over. And a measly                   FOUR MONTHS to do it! For instance, I would LOVE to place at Nationals in the Textile category. I've been working SO HARD on my project; sometimes I think it will never be done! But, I'm still working at it!
Also, I would love to win the championship in soccer this year! I am determined to push myself so hard! I really really really want to go somewhere with soccer my senior year!
And, to top everything off, I WANT TO PLACE FIRST AT NATIONALS FOR BAND!! We worked so hard last year, why can't we do it again?

Yes, determination can get me through all of that. But, so can decisions. I can decide to work on my cross-stitch. I can decide to push myself EXTRA HARD at soccer. I can determine to be the best defender again. I can decide to practice my clarinet, and work on the hard parts over and over and over again. And you know what? I WILL. And I already have!

But, more than those decisions, I have others. I need to decide to not be affected (or is it effected? I can never remember!) by the senioritus I already have, and finish my last year strong. I can decide to push through to the end, and have a good attitude about the classes I really hate, or the people that just plain BUG me. I can certainly decide to achieve all A's in every single class I'm in..therefore causing me to not having to take my finals!!

So, that's what I've decided for the rest of the year. Now tell me..What are your decisions?
