as I countdown to the first day of school a few things come to my head. mainly worries but equally a lot of excitement for what is to come. 1. getting my summer work done, its a fact of a student's life that work is not on their priority list during the summer, it is a dirty feeling that I can't shake off. 2. SAT, wanting to go study in the US I am terrified of the SAT test, I personally don't test well but in this case, I don't have other options if I want to attend the school of my choosing. 3. getting into the school I like, I have 4 schools in mind and while I know I will be accepted into all of them, like the idea if getting into all of them so that I can have the luxury to choose whichever one I like to attend. 4. the countdown clock to independance, my family is the most important thing to me and I have less than a year to be with them, my ultimate fear is getting to consumed in my work that I neglect to be with the people I love while I can.
