In 2 hours it will be 2 days, but it sucks to know that its already here again. Im starting my junior year of High school and while im looking forward to it im also dreading it, because my cousin is going to be joining me. He is starting his freshmen year and is really looking forward to it, but I cant get excited about sharing a school with him. We've grown up together pretty much and we've had our good times and our bad, but if we have our bad times at school, all hell will break loose. Either way I have to deal with it and im gonna try to make it work.
Besides my cousin joining me in High school im starting sports for the first time and im kind of nervous. Im doing basketball and track, but I feel like im too late to start sports because everyone else has been doing it since middle school or freshmen year. It gets me thinking that ill be lost in everything and ill make myself look bad. But then I think about it being my last two years and I really have nothing to remember my high school years (other than this girl my freshmen year, but I wont get into that).
Before the summer started I told my self it would be a "Summer of gains". A term I use for working out and getting bigger. I also told myself that I would get tan and work on my JWC stop motion show as much as possible. During the course of this summer I would say I did fairly well in the "Summer of Gains", but not so much on the tan, and my JWC show. My JWC show is very meaningful to me and I try to do my best every time I pick up my camera, but as some of you animators know there's always a time where you feel like giving up or just not doing it. I got out "1" part of episode "1" and it did fairly well. I worked on it since the end of Christmas, but it turned out nice. I don't know where im going to go with the ending of episode 1, but im not proud with how I capitalized on the time I had. I also did a lot of thinking about this hobby of mine and one night almost decided to give it up. But then I thought about all the money ive put into it and all the time ive spent on it along with fun times ive had with it. To give it all up would be a terrible, terrible, waste.
The only thing I hated about my summer though was that my uncle and his stupid kids were at my house every day, eating our food, and talking up to me. And now I have to share a school with one of those kids.
Entering this Junior year also makes me think about how crappy the school systems are nowadays. I don't feel like ive learned a damn thing from being lectured all day by women who didn't know what to do with their lives after school. Ive been a self taught boy for quite some time now and listening to teachers try and teach me what the school board thinks I need to learn is crap... I'll just stop that there.
All of this was my summer rant and kind of how ive been feeling lately. You may think im just a stupid teen, but I just had to get some things off my chest. Tell me what you think about all that and tell me how your summer went.
What do you think about me trying sports for the first time? Is it too late? Or should I just have fun. Which is really all I wanted from my summer. But that don't begin until I graduate.
