Nikki starts school on the 17th. I am so jealous. It feels as though I am wasting my whole life away. It’s so boring. I hate it. I’m so depressed. Everyone seems to be living a life except me. I still haven’t heard anything from school yet. I guess I’m just paranoid. I’m so afraid of not going to school. I feel that if I don’t go this year, I will be a total failure.

Well, tomorrow is my much anticipated first day of school. I have Latin and Algebra. Sounds kind of boring. I think I’m kinda nervous, but not really. I wonder what kind of people will be in my classes. I hope it’s not like 100 people, then I’ll really be nervous. I hope I make some friends tomorrow, I hate being a loner.
