 on August 23, 2021, I am officially in third form { My class is 3 arts 1 also}. And due to the pandemic that's happening, I'm doing online classes for right now. it has been 2 years since the virus came and to be honest, I won't complain about the virtual learning process at all. So today, I was in homeroom from 8:00-10:30. I was very excited and happy all the way. while I was in the meeting, our teachers introduced themselves to us and in return, we do the same. { by the way, our homeroom teacher's names were MR. Dorkutso and Mrs. Flores. } after that, our teachers discussed with us about our class president. I was never chosen for these things before because usually when they choose someone, that person would get too bossy and become a pest to other people. And knowing the selfless person I am, I wouldn't be like that until they test me in a very disrespectful way. 

but today we had to end a little early due to one of our teachers { Mrs. Flores} internet connection. But of course, I am very excited and happy about what the following months and next year will bring. The first week of school has ended and so far, it wasn't so bad at all. But, I had over 8 or 9 assignments to complete and I'm left with only 2. Okay, so far, online classes in the third form are going awesome even though there are too many notes and content videos to write and watch at the same time. Today, I had a smooth day and all my classes went well except in math class, when our teacher wanted someone to participate, no one wanted to do so. But after a while, I ended up participating even though I felt drained at the same time.

Some days, I feel too lazy to do anything and I won't even bother to do so. And also the Covid-19 cases are rising like hell at the moment. Sometimes I wonder if it will ever end. Life in the third form is amazing. last week Thursday was our annual retreat hosted by New hope. And it was amazing. but of course, it was online. and I on the other hand was excited. We danced on our chairs, sang and we also had three guest speakers that told their life stories. and turns out, we are already in week nine and mid-semester is next week. I am 100% sure and confident that I am in the top ten. But so far, life is amazing itself despite the challenges I face every day. On October 28, 2021, I received my mid-semester report. the principal decided to send it out due to the hard times we are having. and I remember feeling confident that I passed and that I'm in the top 10. 

My homeroom teacher sent it out to us. When I went to check my phone, I saw my mid-semester report and when I opened it, I came in 3rd place, and then tears of joy ran down my face. boy was that a beautiful and happy moment that I will never forget in my life. And lately, like the days are getting warmer and happier every single moment I close my eyes and think about the great adventures and obstacles to come. Some days I feel like the happiest person in the world and then the next minute, all of the happiness comes crashing down like glass breaking on a cement surface. It's the beginning of a new month Or should I say almost coming to the end of November.  Lately, I've been feeling like complete garbage and always moody for no reason. And I'm beginning to lose interest in a lot of things as the days pass me by like flies. But never the less, I am doing my best to maintain a positive mood in class but for some reason, it's getting harder and harder every day. I also see a different change in my grades and the type of energy I carry to class. Sometimes I wonder "what am I doing wrong, where am I going wrong"?. 

It's a new beginning of a brand new year and a brand new attitude. for those past few days in 2020 to half of 2021 sucked. it was just horrible for me.  on my last days of classes, before we went on Christmas break, I spend my entire time writing down notes and turning in missing work (WHICH I DIDN'T HAD ANY). I also spent my time sleeping because I was tired of handing work back to back like an insane person. But it was fun while it lasted in 2021. I spent Christmas well because I got my Christmas gift (which was a whole art set that I've always had since I like to draw  A lot )  and my sister got her makeup kit. but on Christmas, I went around in my neighborhood to deliver food to the friendly elderly women who love sharing their experiences with me and enjoy my company. next week on Monday, January 10, 2022, I will be returning to school. FINALLY, it's about time I go back because I think I have stayed too long at home for too long. and who knows what unexpected challenges I may face when I go back?....

on Monday, January 24, 2022, was my first day back to school and it went amazing because we get to meet face to face in class. Although the day was a bit gloomy and cool later it got sunny. The morning of going back to school had me all hyped up and energetic. I never thought that the day was going to be so calm and bright. Anyways, we were allowed to take our devices and the best part is that I get to reunite with my friends but the other sad part is that I can't interact with them and that hurts me the most. Nevertheless, I finally got to see all my teachers and get to know them better in person. And today was the second day of school and the went amazing as usual nothing more or nothing less happened today either. I spent the entire day just listening to music and moving with the beat and I also draw in class because I didn't have anything to do and since I like to joke around, I was hanging out with my friends and making them laugh like I always do.

 And now tomorrow will be my third day of face-to-face learning and who knows what great things will happen. And the high school I attend is not the same as it was back then before this pandemic. There are strict protocols that we must follow at school to protect ourselves and others around us and if we fail to follow these rules, we will get suspended immediately or even expelled( i know right that's crazy ) but it is the truth and that is the type of reality I am in at the moment and will forever continue to live in.

My last days of third form will always be a unforgettable one. Lately, the days have been dark for me. Everything i once loved i don't love it anymore. I recall the happy days i used to have and the energy i carry with me everyday. But most of all, i keep my faith and that everything will be okay. And since report card day is on June 29, there is no doubt that i passed (even though i have 4 missing work pending and 1 with no due date).

Another thing, i know that this year in August i will be in 4th form already. I only have one more lap to go and i'm done and then it's time for my life to begin. It's like a game you play where you try to make the right decisions and try not to die. At least that's how i see it. When i was young i wanted to be so many things and i had a plan towards it but like for every stage and change or situations that arises, i always ended up changing them. And since i am very multi-talented, it is very hard to choose a skill or hobby to turn into a profession.

I am at a stage where i am beginning to feel confused for the first time with what i want, what i want to do, what i want to become and what i want to be and that's where overthinking comes in. last week of third form was amazing i was happy and making the best of the last days and now it's time to put those behind and walk through the door of new opportunity, the same beginning with a new continuation. And in the next chapter in this book will have nothing but challenges, greatness and honors and i will make sure i reach where i need to reach.

And so my life continues (it's been a while since i haven't been updating this chapter). A lot has been happening lately in my life. Well third form has came to an end and to be honest, i will miss those days as a third former. So far, my classmates have become a big part of my life and god knows how lucky i am to have them and to be in the same class as them. Sure we may get on one another's nerves and we may quarrel sometimes but in the class of 3 Arts 1, there lies a vibrant, loving, kind and amazing bunch of different yet unique set of students.

And who knows what crazy adventures lie in 4th form a.k.a my last year at ecumenical high school (Or should i say the final chapter).......
