Milestones

The first thing that came to your mind when you read Milestones, well for some of you at least, you thought I was talking about the major chain restaurant. Well if thats what you thought your wrong. When I say Milestone I mean a momentous time in life at a certain place and time frame during your life. For some people its birthdays, driver license, car, first job etc. I could go on forever. I have narrowed down my small life into three Milestones.

1. My acceptance to NSS

2. First World Championships in France

3. My birthday, as it was the greatest day in history.

(just kidding)

3. Tomorrow

Tomorrow is the day I write my last high-school test. Scary huh?

A lot of things are running through my mind and unfortunately one of them isn't math. My mind is racing with University, Australia, growing up, and the washer that just clicked letting me know my laundry needs to be dried.

It's a cray feeling. When something for twelve years (for me twelve and a half) has been something you did in a five on two off shift work manner. Somedays it drove me crazy and somedays it made me happy. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a sad day though. I have finally made some concrete friendships at this school since September, and it all went by so fast.

I probably won't get invited to grad which sucks to but thats beyond the point I have come to realize. What I have come to realize is that high school went by in a blink of an eye.

You can almost say it was a thing of beauty.

An anonymous poet said "You can catch or miss beauty in the blink of an eye, thats what makes it beautiful"

This quote has helped me realize how important this twelve and a half years has been.

I have learned, succeeded, failed, and even worked my butt off even though some people think I didn't.

These years have been the years that I will probably forget someday's and others I will treasure each and everyday for the rest of my life.

Tomorrow will be the end of one chapter and a beginning of a new one. I hope that my new friends will be in this next chapter as some of them, I have a feeling, will be friends that I will still know in the next five years.

Life is like a growing plant, if you don't grow with it your gonna fall behind.

Well I guess thats what new with me. I will post more new and exciting things tomorrow!

And as always, I'm goin with it :)

Hope all is well
