School is back in session; junior year I am still in shock. I hope everyone had a great summer, I know I did. I went to Florida and on a cruise to Canada with one of my closest friends from my old school. Who goes on a cruise to Canada? Oh I know, but it actually wasn’t too bad. The cruise was more than just going on a trip, it was proof that I am in my junior year of high school and can still maintain a close relationship with a girl who I only see on occasion, something I was so scared of coming into my freshman year.

Maintaining this friendship gave me an experience that I can pass on to my “little sister” who is a freshman now at UC who came all by herself (just like me). I passed on all my tips and I always see her with a new friend in the halls. At first she told me that she was shy and nervous but now I see her in the halls with new people every time, obviously shyness is not her thing anymore. Freshman orientation was a lot of fun. 2013 is the golden class because they will graduate when union catholic turns 50. We even had golden donuts!

Classes are in progress and quizzes and tests are already being announced. I am moving up in Algebra which has conflicted with my Government and politics class, which conflicted with my Spanish class, which conflicted with my journalism class. So I am sad to say that I will have to drop journalism. I was so looking forward to that class but seeing as my new college dream is Boston College moving up in my classes is a little more important. I don’t know what class to put in journalisms place though. As of right now my favorite class is English. My teacher is hilarious and he really knows how to make a hard class less stressing. I am excited for the year to progress and oh can I say Junior Prom?!!!!! =)
