This quarter... ugh. I am so glad the year is

 almost over. I'm just losing my mind by now. Life for me has been on a downward spiral since 2nd quarter. This quarter started with me wanting to get out of Leadership. I didn't want to be in Leadership anymore. how deluded I was in the summer. Anyways, Next was Orientation. Day one was good. Day two was also good. Day three, however, not the case. We messed up on a lot of stuff. The parent Orientation was better, but still not great. I also had a few concerts for band. Those were all fun! Probably the best part about my quarter. After Orientation, the cracks started to show. We, the 7th graders, were officially given the task of doing the Graduation Slideshow. I, being the incredibly responsible person I am, didn't take any pictures. I also kind of didn't work on the slideshow at all. Now I find myself getting a big fat F for all the slideshow and programs stuff. A few days ago was Awards Night. That was good until after the awards ceremony itself. We just kind did nothing, I guess. As we get closer and closer to Graduation, I'm getting exponentially more stressed. I have a campout this weekend. That should get rid of some of it. I'm really glad that I'm not doing anything in some of my classes. I'm sure not going to miss these parts of the year. It's going to feel so great to have fun again.

A highlight of the quarter was the first part of Orientation. It felt like exactly what we were supposed to do, like we did everything right. That was probably the last time I had 

fun. I feel like I haven't had real fun 

since. Another highlight of the quarter would be everything between Orientation and mid-quarter. That was the last time I've been truly happy before I turned to what I call, "Graduation is in a few weeks mode." It didn't really affect how much work I did on the slideshow, though. My final highlight is the band concerts I had. Those were all great. I can't wait for band next year. Now, for the low lights. One lowlight for this quarter is the second half of Orientation. I still don't understand how it got so much worse literally overnight. That was really confusing to me ever since it happened. Another low light for me was not working on the Graduation Slideshow. I feel bad for making everyone else do the work. Sorry other 7th graders if you're reading this.

This quarter, I learned that you don't need to be happy to get stuff done. Nearly everything I've done before 4th quarter was either good because I liked it, or bad because I didn't. Everything is different now. I can do things I don't want to now, at least better than before. For example, I didn't like Orientation that much. I still did it, though. Now, I know what you're thinking, "But you said Orientation was the last time you had fun!" I didn't like all of Orientation. I didn't even like most of it. I only liked some parts. That's also helped with my classwork, like my English project. Now, time for a nice, relaxing weekend.
