Monday
I'm so not ready for school to start. I feel like there should be a whole month left of summer. What stinks though is that all summer my acne has been decent and right before school starts BAM acne overtakes my face. I also got tanner so now my foundation doesn't match all too well. I think if I just blend it really well it might work. Unless I can get my sister to let me borrow some of hers if it's darker. I'm not sure though.

Today my Mom took me to school so I could find my classes. My classes are so spread out. I'm not sure how I'm going to make it to them in 5 minutes. I also had cheer practice. Afterward, we went to Staples to get my brother a binder and then to the mall to find me a black long-sleeved bodysuit. My Mom had ordered me one off of Amazon, but there was a hole in it so we had to send it back. We didn't end up finding anything at the mall.

I've already packed most of my lunch and planned my outfit. I'm wearing a purple gingham dress with a white t-shirt underneath, a gold choker with a circle pendant, a gold bracelet, a gold ring, and platform sandals. I didn't end up finding anything to go underneath my white tank top, which was my original plan.

Tomorrow I'm going to straighten my hair and do natural makeup. Most the time I don't straighten my hair because I'm too lazy for that, but tomorrow is a big day. I've also already packed my backpack with all of my supplies and my summer homework. My backpack is almost too small to fit all of my stuff, so hopefully, it all works out.

I ended up reading my summer book again and I really hope that I have the information down. I took notes on it so I would pay even more attention because the first time I read it I wasn't really. I'm still not the most confident in it though.

I'm planning on going to bed at 10 and waking up at 6. I leave my house at 7:15. I'm super excited and super nervous all at the same time. I'm not looking forward to having to wake up so early. I'm definitely not a morning person.

I really don't wanna go to school. I'm not nervous about being in high school. I'm more so nervous about homework and tests. My sister told me that my World History teacher gives lots of pop quizzes and I'm not a fan of those.

I have almost one friend in every class with me which is terrific and will make the classes less boring. Except in my health class, I don't have anyone in it with me that I know of. So I'll have to try an attempt to make a friend or I can just be a loner in that class. At my school, you only take health for 1 semester and I think you can take it at any grade. So I might have different grades in my class, but I don't know.

I'm scared that I won't be able to keep up in my note-taking. In the past, our teachers provided us with paper that we took our notes on and they used the same paper, which made it easy. This year we have to just use regular notebooks.

I've binged so many back to school videos on YouTube and watched lots of the first day of school vlogs.

Usually, on the first day of school, it's pretty easy going... until you get to lunch. I already know that's gonna be rough. At my school, high school and middle school use the same cafeteria but go at separate times. High school has the first two spots. There is an A and a B lunch. Anyone can have any of the lunch periods, so you don't always get to have your friends in your lunch period.  The one I was hoping for was the B lunch because A is earlier in the morning. I ended up getting B lunch and most of my friends did too except for Mia (my best friend), Zoey, and Reagan.

I hope that there are some nice new kids at our school because who doesn't want that. It's fun to make new friends and also find some cute boys.

I feel like this year will be super fun and super stressful all at the same time.

Aaaah I really don't want school to start.
