Challenge completed.

It's crazy how quickly this school year went. Yesterday I was a junior, and now I rise up to seniority status. Being a senior doesn't mean much to me, though. Besides graduating around this time of next year, I might as well be one of the underclassmen. My class of 2013 is going to be dominated by numbers of the sophomores next year anyway (my high school is just 10-12). There's a certain sense of bullying that goes on between the upperclassmen and the underclassmen. I don't understand it. Then again, I am pretty naive. LINK Crew was made to counter that bullying, wasn't it? So why is there so much slander that goes around in the Crew? I'm positive I joined so I could help out the little sheep of next year, but others I'm not too sure if they have the same goal in mind.

I wasn't planning on talking about this bullying. I wanted to talk about my success of junior year. LOL

So I was told at the end of my sophomore year that junior year is going to be the hardest year of high school. That challenge was accepted. While completing tasks of the challenge throughout the year, I kept thinking to myself: "I don't know what those silly seniors were talking about. This is so easy." and I would watch the peers around me suffer from the challenge. I even took a senior class to make it more difficult, but frankly, it wasn't any different from my sophomore year. I guess I gained another level of work ethic before I started (which would be ironic because during the last month of school, I hardly did anything). I passed my core classes with flying colors, and people talk about it with a little envy in their voices. They call me the overachiever, they tell me I work too hard. But all I'm doing is my best. What are they doing? Meh. I guess it doesn't matter to me.

I completed this challenge, and now a new challenge comes close. I'm taking quite a few college courses next year (glad my school has College in the Schools), so I'll be completing college leveled challenges (not like I haven't in the junior year, I'm just going to take a lot more senior year). The thing is, all year the Calculus students have complained and suffered through the course. I'm excited to go far and beyond that, too.


I'm lacking creativity. So I'll just go play on Larry.
Here's to summer!
