Time

Lately my mind has been swirling with thoughts. They often tend to come at very bad times, such as when I'm trying to read my Omnibus material. As soon as I try to focus on those readings that I'd honestly rather not be focusing on, a million things seem to pop up in my head.

Memories from random times throughout my life come to mind, experiences I wish to experience again (not because I want to change them, but because I miss them), and sometimes ideas that I wish had happened during the time I've had. I've had SO many amazing experiences, though, in my life. I've had hundreds of opportunities to go places, experience events, be in plays, go to Mexico, camp, and many other smaller places. The zoo, the aquarium, visiting a college, being in a ballet class, seeing a movie in 3D. I'm blessed to live where I do; we sure get to do a lot of things around here. There are tons of opportunities for homeschoolers, along with nearly any subject you can imagine.

Anyways, sometimes I think about how I don't want this year to end. I suppose it did just start, but since it's my last year of high school, the end seems all too near. I felt that way when we were at the beach for a week; I waited so long to get there, but when we got there, the days started slipping away. They were full of amazing friends and everything that comes with them, but a week can only last so long. Time flies when you're having fun. And so, by the second or third day, I was fearing the end.

One of my teachers told us multiple times in the beginning of school that the end of the year is tomorrow. And hey... it's already been more than a month of school. Didn't we just start? At the same time, a good bit has happened and changed since then, and I'm glad of that. But now there's just November, December, January... February, March. April. Our last day is May 5. Wait a second, isn't that only six months???

The point of this post wasn't to get all sad about the end! Not yet.

So. This is... the beginning of the end, I guess :). Okay.

There are so many things I'm excited for in these next six months. Maybe I'll tell you all about them sometime...

In the meantime, I should get off the computer. I reeeeeally don't want to waste the time I have this year on Facebook. Ha. So that's something to work on. I do think that blogging and my photography are worthy uses of computer time. though! Hopefully they shall continue boldly on. Especially photography - I love it. I don't have to remind myself to do it, I just really really enjoy taking and editing pictures.

P.S. The title of this post is called "Time" because of a song titled as such. It's by Chantal Kreviazuk, and it makes me especially wishy-washy about all this growing up stuff.

P.P.S. I am sooooo gonna sob at my graduation...
