With a week and a half of school already past, I'm just now getting used to the whole idea of being in high schoool. Just now getting used to the idea of going to all the varsity football games, just now getting used to the idea of Homecoming and all the other fun activites I can't wait to take part in for the next four years. I've been told several times that if i make the most of high school, it will one of the best times of my life.
On the morning of my first day of high school, I thought to myself, This is it. You are finally going to high school! Hope it's all that you think it will be. I have always been excited to go to high school and I couldn't wait to go to the dances! My entire life I had passed by the Homecoming dresses in deparment stores and this was the year that I'd finally be getting one!
Another thing that came to my mind as I started high school was getting my varsity letter. All summer I have been running and conditioning for cross country and I am really determined to get my letter for it. In order to get my letter I have to run a 5k, that’s 3.2 miles, in 22 minutes and thirty seconds or under. Since school started we've already had four meets and my PR (personal record) is 23:05. Our next meet is Tuesday, September 22nd, and I am really hoping to get my letter then. Each meet I have been dropping a good amount of time, so I think I should be able to drop thirty-five more seconds by Tuesday.
One thing that amazes me about high school is the types of clothes people wear. In middle school, everyone has their own style, but we all still dressed pretty similar. Now I see people really dressing with their own style. As I pass guys dressed in baggy, black clothes and chains I wonder if the chains are heavy. And I pass many girls wearing some pretty farfetched clothes as well. It’s crazy seeing people you grew up with change their style so drastically over the course of one summer!
