It'd be good for me to keep a journal of sorts as I begin the next phase of my life. I'm in the midst of my Magnet orientation right now. I had homework for the first time in three months, and unbelievably, it felt kind of nice to be doing something productive for a change. However, the startling discovery of several summer assignments due in ten days did not feel so nice. I will admit, I broke down on the phone with my dad, who I know fully well is not very happy about handling these situations because I am never happy about having to handle emotional people. I don't know what to say or do, which would be normal, but when someone you know is sobbing over something, standing there awkwardly seems heartless. He managed to convince me that I'd be fine, I won't start freshman year on the wrong foot, and that we'd work through this together if necessary. I still have my doubts, but that's normal, too.
