Blagh-ing

Yep. Say "blagh", just like "blog", except with a sigh.
The school year is coming to an end. On Wednesday, to be exact.
This year has been a very...interesting year for me. I realized, about halfway through the year, that this has been my first year being "the new kid" since third grade when I went to school for the first time. And honestly, I'm not one of those people who can walk into a new place and automatically feel at home. It takes me a while...quite a while, actually, to really get comfortable in a new place. And this year, it seemed to take me a really, really long time. I mean, in third grade, for the most part, it was really easy to make friends. Even if they weren't the forever kind of friends, they were the friends you could hang out with on the playground and share your third-grader secrets with.
Ninth grade is a different thing, entirely.
Making friends is more about relating to another person than sharing your cookies with them (of course, sharing never hurt anyone :))
So now, I find myself at the end of my first year of High School. I feel like I've only just gotten settled, and now it is all coming to an end.
That idea is sigh-worthy, right?
But instead of being upset, I would rather rejoice in the fact that God has blessed me with these last couple of months. I've made friends, I've become settled in a place that I'll be returning to, and because of those things, I've been able to let go of what used to be.
I'm coming to the end of this year honestly feeling like I'm ready to move forward in my life, as opposed to dwelling in the past.

Yeah, this sounds super inspirational, eh? ;)
Anyway! Summer is upon me, and I'm almost ready to embrace it. A summer...full of Algebra 2.
Oh dear...now that is a sigh-worthy thought.
