Tomorrow I get to meet my mom at school to enroll for my senior year of high school. And let me tell you I'm extremely excited, I've been waiting to be a senior for nearly four years now and it's finally MY time. I'm ready to get to finally start making decisions that will ultimately end up affecting my future because up until now it has always seemed that there's that one thing or someone who is holding me back from really going for what my heart and gut are telling me to do.
My mom just came home on her lunch break and before she left she came into my room and sat on my bed. She told me that one of the school counselors, the one that I worked a lot with last year when we were trying to figure out my schooling situation when I had my hip replaced second semester; she said she had an enjoyable conversation with her.
When I found out that this school counselor had called my mom this morning, I was surprised, because I thought she would have been really busy with day one of enrollment being today. I knew though once my mom told me she had called that this couldn't be good.
Mom started with telling me that she was just making sure that I would be back at the school for sure this year, yadayadayada. She had asked my mom if I was ready to go back to school, yadayadayada. Then she told my mom that I had to either finish my history class online that I didn't finish from last semester, before Thanksgiving (our fall holiday basically) or I had to give up forensics second semester so I could take both the English III class I need and American Studies.
WHAT?!
And of course, my mom is leaving it completely up to me to decide, she didn't even give me her opinion when I asked, she just told me it's my choice. I mean, one side, I prefer to take the American Studies class at the school then finish it online, just for the fact that it's better in basically ALL aspects and I prefer to learn, especially when it comes to history, by lectures, not reading a never ending assignment that doesn't even go chronologically on the computer. Then there's the fact that I've been really involved with our NFL (National Forensics League) chapter and I'm really excited for the forensics season this year because last year I didn't get to compete because I had my hip replaced. And though I'm sure my coach will allow me to participate from outside of class, it just makes things easier if I were in the class. But obviously, I have to chose one or the other.
As for right now, I don't know what I want to do. I think I might need to sleep on it tonight and see how I feel about it tomorrow, because honestly, there's pros and cons to both sides of this. I'm sure though, whatever I do decide to do that I'll be fine with it, because honestly, I just want to get through senior year and graduate. That's my goal. And I know it'll all work itself out eventually.
