1, 2, 3


Summer is slowly drawing to a close and we are all about to be set in the monotonous school cycle once again. Junior year is gonna be a pain in the ass and I realize that, but strangely, I'm looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the first day of school and Handshake. I think SA Handshake is one of my favorite events of the whole year. I don't know how many officer meetings there have been over summer but, obviously, I've missed all of them so far. Knowing our class though, I doubt that many people actually showed up to those meetings. I hope officers stuff doesn't start out too hot.

I really wish that I could have taken a nice two months off this summer but seeing that I am about to be a Junior, that was not an option. Maybe next summer if I work really hard this year. I've decided that all I would do this year is study. Study and study. Wake up, eat, school, homework, study, sleep. That will be my life cycle for the whole school year. I need at least 2300+ on SAT and 5 on all my AP and 800 on all the subject tests... I have a long road in front of me. I set my goal at UC San Diego, but I've been inspired to try even harder. The source of this inspiration wasn't a family member or an especially close friend but my writing and math teacher at my SAT Class place. I was talking to her about college and she said that I should aim much higher than UC San Diego because I have the talent and drive to get there. That meant more than anything my father ever told me. So now, I think I will aim higher. Just like Chandler says, "Aim for the moon, hit the coconut trees." The only problem is my GPA though.. Stupid freshmen bible. Totally ruined my GPA.

I hope everyone enjoys the rest of his or her summer. And get ready for a totally awesome year. Seriously, junior year is gonna be bomb.

  1. Jon I don't know how you do this all, you're probably going to end up in Harvard. But you have to take SOME time off! Because honestly you'll learn more about life experiences than actual education in high school. That is so corny, but it's true.

    Freshman Bible!? I was the freaking TA! I made sure you didn't get bad grades in it..!

    Oh and I agree - handshake is like one of the best. Esp. now that I'll be doing it this year =)
