The Lost Journal

So, I was going through my old drawers and cleaning them out when I came upon an old journal I had at the beginning of Senior Year.  I stopped and started to go through it and was shocked at how differently I saw the world.  Golf and getting into college were my life.  I was such a better student way back when, I guess.  I don't know what happened...

We returned home yesterday after eight days on the road [in Boston].  Now the process of unpacking begins.  I've unpacked my suitcase but my room is still a mess.  I'm going to work on that; I want a spotless, organized room by the beginning of Senior year.  I'm going to need organization with my class load.  Here is my schedule:

0B-AP English 405

1A- AP Calculus AB

1B- AP European History

2A-AP US/Comp Government

2B- AP Stats

3rd Block-Anatomy/ Physiology

4A- Release

4B- Yearbook

I'm going to have so much fun!  Plus golf, plus college applications!

We had a golf match today at Mimosa hills.  EP and I played in a twosome and both birdied the first whole we played.  I ended up with a 99.  I jsut need to concentrate more when I'm out there.  The coach from App State was there to watch Brooke D, who is playing for ASU next fall and Stephanie W, who is a junior this year.  Eileen and I played in between their groups, so he saw us play too.  he wrote my name down.  The only problem with that is that I don't want to play college golf, EP does!  Oh well, at least I'm doing something good.  Dad was pretty furious with my game today because I wasn't concentrating.

Today was the first day of school and I am completely exhausted.  Its only nine and I want to sleep...I beat EP at golf tonight.

Of course, some things haven't seemed to change...

I lost my AP Euro book a few days ago.

Its Saturday and I'm stressed.  Big surprise, right?  I don't have my anatomy book so I can't do my homework/ study for the test.  Fantastic.  I have so much to do this weekend...

MM invited EP and I to the beach for Labor Day weekend.  I'd love to go but I don't have the time!

It's funny reading through this thing and seeing how worried I would get over the littlest things. I was convinced that I wouldn't get into a good college and that my golf game would go to hell, but to be honest, in the moment I didn't care about golf, really.  There was a very bittersweet relationship there...

Maybe I'll burn the journal.
