My last day of summer

begins in exactly 56 minutes.
I would like to say that I will be living it to the fullest, but sadly that isn't going to happen. I've saved some summer work for the last minute, and like I have for the past few days, I'll be home tomorrow getting it all done. I'm kicking into back-to-school mode, and I'm wondering how long my studiousness and sanity will last until I'm finally crying for a vacation or trip to Poland.
Good luck to all my undergrads going off to college. Keep me posted on college life. I'm interested cause that's going to be me next year....

one week left

till life gets crazy for me again. it's back to school time!

To be honest, I'm actually looking forward to school.
Despite the fact that I know I will be overloaded with school work and other responsibilities, causing me to stress out and quite possibly have a nervous breakdown, I'm looking forward to my upcoming senior year. The whole idea of it just gets me excited, and I really can't believe it's my last year in high school. I can't wait for all the cliches, too - working on the yearbook, doing fundraising for the senior class, senior events like prom, and anything else that might happen. I won't let school get to me too much this year either. I'll still be giving it my all and working into the AM to get homework done, but I'll make sure to save some time for myself somehow, because I rarely do that.

Other than that, I'm worried about getting my license. I'm nervous about the road test and wondering if I'll do well. It's about time that I finally have some more independence so I can chauffeur myself around, rather than asking my parents.

I'm going to Boston on Wednesday to tour Northeastern and BU. I love visiting Boston, and I still haven't seen Boston University so I'm anxious about that. I can't wait to hop on that train and go off to Beantown :)

Going to Boston reminded me also that I'll be going to New York again soon for the US Tennis Open. I am beyond ecstatic about that. I always have the greatest time up in New York anyways because my cousin is super nice, and New York is super amazing. :)

Life is good :) (minus the fact that Poland is so far away, but what else is new? i always complain about missing the PL)

i'm going to end this long blog now, not just cause it's long, but because it's 1 in the morning and I should be going to sleep. Toodles

vacation's over

even though school doesn't start for another two weeks.
i'm packed with summer reading, and even though I have tons left to do, I'm not stressing. I'm surprised at how calm I am about all my work, but I feel like I'm going to get this all done easily. I was worried about writing my essays but they're pretty much writing themselves. I'm flying through it.
Other than that, I have so many things to do. Hair appointment, doctor appointment, senior photos, road test, soccer practice, etc etc. This is my only free week and then the craziness begins. Wicked nervous about starting school and getting on top of applications and college essays. I really wish I could just skip all this and go straight to college.

getting into the swing of things

So three days ago I finally came back to America and landed in New York. I didn't want to leave Poland, but I guess I had to. Let's just say the past three weeks were the best I've had this year. As expected, the goodbyes at the airport were a bit teary, but I didn't break down as bad as I thought I would, haha.
I'm still adjusting to the time zone, and for the past few days I've been waking up at 6 am because technically, it's 12 in the afternoon for me. Other than that nothing too exciting has been going on. I've just been getting myself together, doing summer reading and practicing for my road test next month. I'm going to Maine next week which I can't wait for cause I need a tan and I haven't been swimming at all yet this year.
Wicked nervous about college apps recently. I don't where or how to start. I have an idea for my college essay and I'm hoping it'll come out good. I really don't know how this year will pan out, and I'm wondering where I'll be moving off to this time next year for college. I'm hoping for NYC but I'm not setting myself on that. Anything could happen.
