Today, I must admit, was a weird day for me. I think, though I'm not very good at trying to describe myself, that I am a fast paced person. Maybe not. But that is how it seems.
I was weird today. I guess... I'm weird to myself. It was kind of nostalgic and slow, and I guess I am not really a nostalgic or slow person.
My first year of high school is drawing to a close, and for the first time, I realized that some of my friends have completed school now. Wow. I am happy for them, but it gave me such a manic feeling of loss that I don't even know what I think for them. Also, today marked the very last day that I will ever see a very important person in my life ever again (if that made sense) which made me very very sad. And finally, today, during the last official block of school, at the very end of the day, an acquaintance of mine and I went to go talk to one of his teachers. Although I didn't have him as a teacher, I know him quite well from the Costa Rica trip we went on. I realized that in this year, I met so many wonderful people. It occurred to me that on the first day of school this year (which feels like yesterday) I didn't realize how many amazing people would impact my life or how much I would change this year.
I guess that I can sum up what I'm thankful for in this quote:
"There is nothing like returning to a place that has remains unchanged, to find the ways in which you yourself have altered. " -Nelson Mandela
