Last Day of Summer...

wow. i can't believe i have to go to school tomorrow. i mean i love school, school is my home, my haven even, but that was Western...
now i get to start over in a new school with lots and lots of people i dont know. all my hard work in WHS drama has been dashed away and i have to go ground up all over again. i have to let everybody "figure me out" and adapt to the new ways of doing things. i can agree that change can be a good thing on some levels. example i just got my hair cut and styled differently and i like it a lot. but Western has been my home for what seems like forever now and its unbelievably hard to leave it. i wanted the graduates i know to be able to come back to a show and say "wow i knew her when she was in 7th, 8th, 9th grade" and see how much i've grown. now i have to be the one coming back for shows.
dont get me wrong, its not all bad in Houghton Lake. i like it here a lot actually. i've met some pretty cool people and i love the chance to meet new friends. and everyone is really nice.
but the things that became really close to my heart (because of people) at Western- band, choir, drama- are very different here. they dont even have a choir for one. the band has been a good place for me to meet people and make friends, and im trying to give it a chance to hold a place in my heart as Western's has, but it will take a while... and dont even get me started on the "drama"program.
its gonna take me a while to adjust i know. and i am going to jump head-first into everything and give it a chance. but its really hard sometimes.
