Last quarter

Welcome back! I'm sure that many (all) of you are not excited to be back at school and facing your final quarter of high school, but here we are. What goals are you setting for yourself for this last quarter of high school? What is your apprehension level doing regarding moving on with your life now that high school is going to end? Let's discuss quarter four!

  1. Coming back after having a whole week off is hard. I did not want to get up this morning. But we all have to face it and get it over with. I am just hoping to keep my grades up during 4th quarter. I do not want to give up in any of my classes. I am scared to start my life after high school because there will definitely be hard times, but hopefully the good times even it all out. We have gotten to know all of our classmates so well that it will be hard to make new friends, but it is a transition we all will have to take. I just want everything to be great for everyone after high school.

  2. Coming back for me was extremely easy. I just keep thinking that's one more day off the calender until GRADUATION! it is extremely exciting. I'm going to miss all of my friends but I am sure we will keep in touch. I am so excited to start college and meet new people! :) It's going to be amazing. I'm not too nervous at all about it. I am more excited about summer and really living it up with all my friends before we all go away to college. I hope that I do as well fourth quarter as I have the whole year. It's going to be hard for me because my "senioritis" has definitley kicked in hardcore! haha.

  3. I am looking forward to my last quarter of high school. My overall goal for the quarter would be to stay focused, yet not to be overly stressed and uptight. Between baseball, banquets, concerts, and appointments I have, there are only three weekdays open on my schedule for April. It sure will be a busy quarter.

    The reality of moving off to college and living on my own is starting to sink in, but I'm just trying to enjoy the moment right now.

  4. Coming back wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I thought I would have been super tired. I am not going to miss the homework aspect of school, however, I am going to miss the people. I am excited to start in a new place and make new friends, but I don't want to leave my old friends behind. My goal is to remain as focused as possible eventhough this break felt a lot like summer vacation so today almost feels like the first day of school oddly enough. My other goal is to keep the crying and emotions to a minimum for the time being but as graduation gets closers and there are more "last" events I am sure I will probably break down:,(

  5. Coming back to school right after Easter was not very fun at all, and I wish we could have had at least today off, but oh well. It wasn't that hard getting up for school today. I am just going to try to maintain my good grades in my fourth quarter as well, just like all my other quarters. I will be very excited when I finish my fourth quarter and final year of high school. It seems like time flys by, because I never thought I would get to this point. I am both a little scared about college, but mostly excited. I want to see what it is like to have more freedom to do the things I want. College will be new and exciting, and I am definately looking forward to it.

  6. I am really looking forward to the last quarter. My goal for the quarter is to keep my grades up and not lose my focus, even if there is only 35 days of school left! The quarter will be a busy one (like every other quarter is for me) but I'm going to focus on enjoying the busy-ness! I'm so excited and ready to be done with high school. I want to move on the bigger and better things so badly :D I'm going to enjoy this summer because as much as I want to move on, I will really miss my friends and family. My mom and liz have been a huge part of life this past year because most of the time it's just us in the house. It will be difficult to not see them everyday. It will be a transition, but I'm staying optimistic!

  7. Coming back to school wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be. I expected it to be very hard to get back into the swing of school, but it's just like riding a bike; you never forget. I can't believe that we are almost done with school. It goes so fast. My goal for fourth quarter is to no slack off in any of my school work. Motivation is pretty low at this point and it takes a lot of work to get my work done. I also want to make sure that I spend a lot of time with my friends because I know that we don't have much time left before we all go our separate ways.

    I'm excited for college. To live on my own and take care of myself. I think that it is going to be scarey but it will also be a lot of fun.

  8. I am looking forward to the last quarter of high school. Feeling the pressure of schoolwork and college obligations is going to make this last quarter of school go by very quickly. As far as having fun this summer, I plan on doing bunches of it and living in the moment! Hopefully all the fun will come from having great times with friends and family.
    I am ready to start my own life. Moving away (which isn't really that far) and becoming my own person is an exciting era in my life and I am excited to persue it.

  9. ok so i am glad to be back because that means that i am almost done with high school! I am so excited!!! It is kinda hitting me now that after this year we are all going to go our seperate ways. I am kind of sad because i wont see all my friends that much, but at the same time i am kind of excited!! It's fun to think that i am moving out of my house soon and beginin a life of my own. WOW! now im getting really excited haha. My goal is to keep working hard for the rest of school and keep my grades up. (coming back this week would probably been harder if i wasnt a senior and about to graduate!!)

  10. I'm pretty excited for the last quarter. My goal this quarter is to genuinly learn everything I'm being taught, instead of just going though the motions like so many people do, a habit I have recently been falling into. I feel refreshed now from the trance that comes with the two vacationless months of school after Christmas, and I will hopefully be able to refrain from laziness. Anybody can just remember what the teacher tells you to do, but this quarter I want to learn "the why's" about everything, especially math and science, in order to prepare myself for college. Having spring break is great and it gave me time to recuperate and finish the year strong.

  11. Im looking forward to making the most out of my last quarter of high school. I am determined to keep my grades as they are and not let the feeling of graduating soon get to me! I really enjoyed having a spring break this year. It helped me to just have the week to unwind and now I can get back into the swing of things. It really has not hit me yet that I am almost graduating :)

  12. There was not one part of my mind that could believe that I had to go to school this week. That week off was just a little tease and it felt worse coming back to school after the break than it would have been coming back from a weekend. Although, it was very relaxing to have nine days off. I have a feeling that this last quarter is going to kind of hectic, but very fun. There are a lot of banquets and get-togethers that I will be attending. I will probably get a little distracted from my schoolwork, but I think that I can get-ur-dun.

  13. My goal for this quarter is to turn in my homework and not fall into a habit of being lazy. It's getting harder and harder to focus on school because of graduation, summer weather, and track. My other goal is to enjoy every single moment. Lately I've been really sad thinking about how I will miss all of my friends. It's going to be really weird to not have school 8 to 3 for 9 months and then summer vacation considering that is the life we have known for 13 years.. I'm still excited for college though. It is definitely going to be an adventure.
