COLLEGE LIKE YA

OMG. COLLEGE. Scary. I don't want to leave yet! It's so fun here! First of all, you basically know everyone, and you can be with everyone! I can't believe how fast time has gone. It feels like only a few weeks ago since I arrived here in NZ from Kuwait. Barely anything has changed yet as the years went by, I seemed to think that the year 8's were getting smaller and smaller. And then suddenly I'm one! Sadly, this has been the fastest year I have ever had in my life, and I don't feel like I've made the most of it.

There are many things I am looking forward to though, and that is making new friends. I am exited to meet people and have an almost fresh start (meaning that I'm not going to ditch all my friends from here at St. Ben's). I really want to do netball and basketball, so I can get my skills up on both of these sports. I am REALLY glad that I am doing Art for a full year option, because I will be able to a lot more Art than usual.

I am also really excited about doing the sciences. I am looking forward to chemistry and biology mostly. I'm quite worried about the amount of HOMEWORK I'm going to get, because I have A LOT on after school everyday, and I am hoping I will be able to finish it all because it seems like a challenge. I am hoping I will be able to achieve more responsibility in looking after my belongings because sometimes I can be a a bit irresponsible.

Overall, I really don't know how to feel, but what happens, happens, so I am really excited either way. But I am really going to miss everybody and especially everyone who isn't going to the same college as me. I will also miss playing basketball on the courts(even though I suck :D), playing dodgeball, and being around all my friends.
