A couple of days ago, it hit me that this is my last semester of high school. My epiphany was caused by all of the annoying scheduling announcements said every morning and afternoon. It's strange to think that after this semester I don't have to come back to Dunbar ever again. I don't have to schedule classes for next year because I won't be here next year. I think (and hope) I am ready for college. Being on your own and making your own decisions can be frightening at times, but there will be good times too. One thing I worry about is being homesick. I never went to any summer camps as a kid because I hated being away from my family for more than a week or so. I'm hoping that going to UK will make it easier on me because I can visit my family whenever I want.
Most teenagers cannot stand their siblings, but I think that I will really miss my little sister when I go off to college. Even though we have nine years in between us we still get along really well. She used to joke about getting my room when I leave for college, but now she doesn't talk about it anymore. She says little things like "You won't be here much longer" and "I will really miss you sissy" that show she doesn't want me to leave. At least I can visit her often!
I know I will be homesick too :(. I find my brother annoying at times, but I going to miss seeing him grow up.
