anyway, i ended up disappearing because #sophomore year of high school started and i decided to (ugh) focus on my education. IN SHORT: sophomore year had some really high highs and really low lows that averaged out into being an alright year. some highlights:
1. i got all A's in my classes because i am an academic beast.
2. i took my first AP level class (european history). it was my favorite class and i actually loved going to it everyday
3. experienced huge fomo OH MY GOD
4. I REALIZED that people actually know me. for a long time i was very insecure and i really doubted myself and if i really... existed in other people's brains. in reality, i became closer with a lot of people and made new friends. what a world right!!
5. MY CLOSE CIRCLE OF FRIENDS WENT KAPLUT!! it was particularly rough. when i brought this up to my older friends and siblings they were all like "seems normal for high school" ????
6. i used the school restrooms often and there were always people crowding up the space. typically, they were vaping. i thus developed a hatred towards it. i vowed to never vape because i never wanted to be so annoying in my life (oh also for my health ig)
there's more, but it's all very generic American Public High School Experience. it seemed an eventful year while experiencing it, but looking back it really felt like a big blah yk
as for things outside of school... i'm starting to get into more anime and games. i started watching the apothecary diaries. i played katawa shoujo, the walking dead series, needy streamer overload... others. i'm currently playing amagami and i plan to watch amagami ss when i go through all routes!
anyway. CONCLUSION: my junior year, i'll do everything right this time!!!!!
