Hello world.
It's been an extremely long time since I've posted on here. I apologize. I have no good explanation for this absence except life. Life happens, and sometimes certain things just need to be set aside for a while in order for one to keep their sanity intact. In my case it was both blogging and writing in general. Except essays. I've written tons of essays.
These last few years haven't been easy. It took me most of my freshman year to really adjust to going to a public school. It was just so different from being home schooled. It was definitely a bit of a culture shock. It took me a while, but I eventually got the hang of it and made some good friends that I am still close to today. So, that was freshman year. And as challenging as it was, it has definitely been the easiest year of my high school career. Sophomore year was just hard in general, with a mix of personal issues, friend drama, and school stress. I've always sort of dealt with shyness and anxiety, but it really started to get bad last year. This year, my junior year, has had its own challenges. Let's just say when you put a person with pretty bad social anxiety into a drama/speech class, it doesn't bode well for their mental health.... But I'm getting through it okay. I'm now facing that lovely task of taking the SAT and narrowing down the colleges I would like to apply to, and what I want to do with my life. However, that's a topic for another post. ;)
I will hopefully be doing a bit more blogging now. I really have missed it, and I need to write something besides essays on the Vietnam War and Moby Dick. I can't promise any regular posts, but I will post as often as I can.
Hasta luego, mis amigos.
