The future is all yours. Honestly, a lot’s happened since the last time I’ve made a project. My life’s been very interesting. For starters, I became Vice President of my school back in September, so that’s pretty cool. And then I tried out for the basketball team a couple weeks ago, and I got on the team! We had our first game a few days ago, and we lost 19 - 15 (but hey, it was literally my first basketball game ever. I’ve never played ball in my life.). Then we had conferences on Wednesday, and I was extremely nervous for absolutely no reason. Like, come on, I’m the best student in my grade! I know better! But I seriously couldn’t sit still at all and just talk to my teachers. I was nervous in front of my parents, and it was all very pathetic. So that was pretty weird. :P This week, I have 3 games, and my teachers want to watch ‘em. Again, I’m like, a bench player, so I’m not gonna be playing much during the games. I tell ‘em, “I’m not that good” and stuff like that, but they just tell me, “At least you’re there!” So, yeah. If I had more experience, and if I actually dedicated myself to practice, I’d be a lot better at basketball. Oh, and yesterday (November 3rd, 2023), I skipped first period because I vented to my Language Arts teacher. Now, looking back, I’m kinda mortified..? I told her so much stuff that I’d never tell anyone. And she just kept saying stuff, but I dismissed everything she said; I told her, “I’m fine!” And at the end of the day, before I left school, I was there with my teachers… as usual. And I told them, “You guys are the nicest people ever!” And they told me, “That’s the sweetest thing ever!” as well as “Thank you, because I don’t get that very often.” And I also said, “I love this place with my life”. Gosh, Knight! What are ya doing?! And then they started praising me and thinking of all the prestigious colleges I’d go to when I’m older. And I just stood there, taking it all in. “Brown, Stanford”, they said. I don’t even know what those colleges are all about. What I do know, is that 7th grade is no picnic. Like, I used to be so private about my feelings, and I never really told anyone I knew. I think, a large part of this is that I used to vent on Scratch. But no more Scratch for me, so I had to find an alternative. And that alternative was… my teachers! Good Lord! It feels incredibly weird, because since October 5th, I’ve been a different version of myself. I’ve had more… emotions. I let it all out at school, and kept it in like I always have at home. That’s been really weird. I woke up today, thinking, gosh! My reality has changed so much. I really told them all of that? Me, the straight-A student who never complained about a thing? I’m still a fantastic student. I’m still a wonderful person. I just have to fix myself before it’s too late. Or, perhaps, am I already fixed? Feelings are weird, and I don’t want them. ——— Edit (November 4th, 2023): I’m fine now, I really am. Report cards came out yesterday, and I told myself, “Hey, you’re still doing well! You haven’t changed a bit, Knight. Don’t even think otherwise.” Like, the comments on the report card were just… magnificent! Gosh! xD I’m a champion, and that’s all there is to it. And I’m gonna dominate 7th grade like I always have. :D ——— Credits ——— • Me, @RC14600 (Knight) for the art • Music is Coldplay - Higher Power (Originally written November 3rd, 2023)
