Day 9

  I have lukewarm feelings about today.

    Do you want the good news or the bad news?

  I'm going to go ahead with the good news because beginning a post with bad news would just be depressing and horrible.

  The good news is that I got a letter from an ambassador program asking me to participate in a travel abroad to China.

  Oh Yes. 

  I would so love to do this. The program includes seeing the Great Wall of China, a visit to Beijing, seeing the Terra-Cotta warriors, studying calligraphy, and all sorts of awesomesaucical adventures! But, of course, it's probably extremely expensive. So... yeah. :(

  Also good news, I had some coconut ice, and that was really yummy.

  The bad news is...

  Well, it's not necessarily bad news, it's just a little complicated.

  When you go to high school, you come in expecting every single friendship that has followed you there to be up in the air. You feel sort of awkward about it, like you're not quite sure about whether or not you will continue on with those friendships.

  Well, it hasn't really felt like that for me. A lot of important friendships have indeed followed me here to high school, and I haven't really ever felt shaky about them, because I didn't need to feel that way. Today felt a little like... well... like I was in a crowded room, but I was all alone.

  I don't usually say stuff like that, but it's the truth.

  I was only going to share the good news, but if some 8th grader ever happens to stumble across one of my blog posts I didn't want it seem like my experience was jolly good, and that yours should be the same.

  I realized that I wanted to write the whole truth.

  The whole truth is that once in awhile, you will feel all alone in a crowded room. You will even feel like you don't have any friends. The feeling doesn't last though. In just a little while you'll probably feel silly for even thinking that you didn't have any friends. But the feeling is there.

  I'm not quite experienced enough to say "Don't worry! Everyone feels that way! You will make the friends that you deserve to make! Everything will figure itself out!".

  But nevertheless, you shouldn't worry, everyone feels that way, you will make friends, and everything will figure itself out. It will. I promise.

  Ick. That feels like a much too serious ending for a post.

  That calls for a joke.

  Does February March?
    (That's when you say no)
  No, but April may

ha... I know :)
