Well the first month of school is done. Only nine more months of public school left, nine more months left of childhood. In my mind we still are. So many of my friends and even myself at time wish for nothing else. They wish to be adults to be independent to be in the "real world". Don't get me wrong, I want the same thing but I feel like we need to enjoy every last second that we still have. For our entire lives we have been able to use age as a crutch. Soon that will no longer fly.
Its weird to think about it, I guess change is always weird. I just can't imagine myself at college or living out on my own. It just seems so surreal. I just can't imagine that next year I will be far from my home, far from the people that I've grown up with. Far from the things that I know and love.
With the end of September we received our grades. So far so good, a part of me was afraid that my parents would try to use that against me but I'm not even giving them the chance. Plus I need to look good for all the schools I'm applying to.
This past weekend I went on a campout with the scouts. It will be my last time at this certain campsite. Its a place that we go every year, its a recruiting campout where we try to bring in some of the young kids from cub scouts. I was lucky enough to be accompanied by some good friends, all who are younger but good friends. They're in the pic that I posted. (from right to left, austin, max and ryan.) It was great to have them along and we had a good time. They are some of the people that I can't imagine seeing weekly next year.
So I guess I should really change the title of this post to:
One lost, Nine left to enjoy.
People in this world are always looking forward, I think at times you just need to enjoy the here and now. If your looking ahead then your sure to miss whats right in front of your face.
