Thoughts on growing up

Since it’s my sister’s birthday today I had to get right home after volleyball, but then I had to get my lunch from the grocery store for the week because school lunch is gross. I figured since I’m her sister and I Facetimed her earlier today that she wouldn’t mind if I missed the zoom. I made it home in time for the Zoom, though, so it was nice that I got to see new faces that I hadn’t seen in a while. I think that it’s so weird that she’s like 21 and I’m 18 and were both “grown-ups.” Not really, but we’re not kids and that’s weird because I feel like we are. Like, I feel like we were in elementary school yesterday which is so weird to me. I also had such bad insomnia all night, but then when I turned the TV on I went right to sleep — also very weird to me.

I wish my college counselor would do her job. She hasn’t looked at my final app for Howard and the deadline is in 1 week. I am kind of annoyed but mostly stressed because I just want to get it in ASAP and I feel like I’ve done my part. I need her to do hers. Also, I have a great independent study idea for senior year — I’m gonna get disposable cameras for the school and have students document their senior years, then I’m gonna have them give the cameras back to me, get the pictures developed and put them in a huge collage. I have to get it off the ground though because it’s almost Thanksgiving and I want to be started by then.
