Okay, now the actual post.
I felt like I should make a post about this- the last morning of summer.
It feels like something that I should write poetry about- hey, maybe I will someday.
The last morning when I can get up and not go to school. I do love school, but there is a wonderful feeling when you can get up late (and for me late is maybe 8am) and be able to read, or watch children's tv shows, or go for a walk, or anything you wish.
Yesterday, I went to bed at 8:45pm and it was wonderful. I'm not one of those teenagers who likes to stay up late- in fact, I can't really stay up past 3 without crashing. (Though I did stay up almost all night at a sleepover with friends this summer). The point being, I like having power regarding when I go to sleep and when I wake up. Once school begins again (yipes, tomorrow!) I will no longer have that kind of freedom. But I do get to learn cool things, so it's a pretty good trade-off. Except that I'm going to have crazy amounts of work.
I honestly think what I'll miss most about the summer was time for free reading. Reading is, without a doubt, my favorite pastime. And once school starts up again- with College Applications and AP work and normal work- I won't have much time for free reading. Which saddens me. But I can still read before going to sleep, and there will be vacations or days off when I can take an hour or so to read. Everything will be okay.
This blog was started because I wanted a place to just write, and also as a method of lessening my stress. Because I get stressed easily, I have things that help me, including:
- this blog
- martial arts
- drawing
- walks
- making videos
and
- writing poems and short stories
So, here's an 'off the cuff' poem for you guys:
Summer's days are gone,
adieu to you and you,
wonderful moments,
some captured by a lens, others
only in the mind,
never to be forgotten,
always there,
to pull back just when you need
a friend
a feeling of happiness,
joy,
wonder
goodbye,
see you next year.
