Takio^Takav #3
Back at school and Yorkland, it feels great to see all my friends again. There are a lot of people I don’t know and I didn’t get lost. =] A friend of my brother showed me around Raycliffe, now I know where everything is and I will never get lost, hopefully. So I’m a minor ninor now and the freshmen of Raycliffe. How it feels? A little awkward. Not that bad! I’m sure I’ll get to know some people soon and we’ll all know each other and become good friends very soon. I’m adapting fine to high school. It’s only been a few weeks but it’s not that bad at all, guess that’s because I know people.
The only problem is I’m still jet lagging. I’m always so tired during the night because I’m so worked out during the day. There’s going to be a BBQ for the grade 9’s next week or so, it’ll probably be fun. My schedule is pretty good; I have many classes with the stellars especially Titus (his real name is Alexander but everyone calls him Titus), Kim, and Flora. And unbelievably classes don’t seem long even though they’re an hour and fifteen minutes compared to our short forty-five minutes at Bernville. I still remember how I used to wish recess would come faster and how it took forever for math or geography class to be over. And hah, we all seem to have adapted to not having recess. Everything seems normal, we’re all joining clubs, helping out in school fundraising already and sighing up for math contests (Mr. Cot recommended that we sign up since we are the stellars) already.
I guess it’s not hard adapting especially when you’re with friends and stuff. I can’t imagine how it would be like if I went to Markhill, a new school, neighbourhood, friends and so much more.
High school isn’t really like different from elementary school, well there is a big difference but it’s not like when you go to high school, school isn’t school anymore because it’s really just school. I mean, it’s not like once you step into high school, you’ll never see your friends, maybe you won’t see them as often, since there is not recess. But you do see different friends in different classes unlike elementary school; you don’t have each class with your homeroom so you’ll actually get to see different friends more. It’s more variety and even if none of your friends from your old school is in the same class, you can always make new ones. Secondly, even though there is no recess, it’s actually alright (although I miss those fun recess times). It could be better sometimes too to not have recess, more time to finish homework in class, and we don’t have to survive the freezing cold or boiling hot weather outside. Lunch is shorter but we do get out of school half an hour earlier than elementary school. So high school is not bad, of course elementary school times are still awesome and I will always cherish those times.
October is going to be here soon and my friend Delilah is holding a birthday party this week. That’s going to be fun but I hope I have fun. I feel bad because of my piano. Not because of the concert in Beishang because it went pretty well and we all sounded good. But I feel bad because on the same day of the party, there’s a master class for piano by Dan Zhao Yi who is a renowned piano professor who is Yundi Li’s teacher. In case you didn’t know who Yundi Li is, he is a professional pianist who is the winner of the 14th international Chopin competition (2000) and is the youngest and first Chinese to ever win this prize. My piano teacher told me to play my Bach or something to the master class and that Dan Zhao Yi will love me to play but I really wanted to go to the party. So I didn’t say yes right away, in the end I did decide to go but it was too late. It would have been a super and wonderful opportunity but I lost it.
One thing I learned from this was chances don’t always come your way, so when they do, treasure it! But I guess now that I’ve lost the chance, I’ll just have fun and next time I won’t lose anymore of these great chances.
Anyways the Sunday after Delilah’s party, I’ll be going to a get-together with the people who went to Beishang. Kind of scary. Do I still like him? I can’t. The age is a problem, we don’t even talk. Are we even friends? But what about the stuff in Beishang. Is this stuff coming back to me again, starting all over? And I mean I can’t like a guy I haven’t even known in depth. Sure he’s good in piano, but what more do I know about him? Hmm, he’s a guy, age difference problem, glasses wearer, what else? Well, maybe I just got to not think about it. It’s driving me nuts, and plus I should probably find a guy at Raycliffe instead. Liking him just doesn’t seem right.
What should I do? One situation after another yet this time I don’t even know if I like him or if liking him is right. So what now? Stop liking him? I mean at least I won’t have to deal with these problems. But it’s not like it’s that easy to get over someone (or maybe it is.. the more i talk about this, the better things get, I think?) so does that mean I should just continue liking him. Or maybe I just need to let “time” decide what should happen and just forget about this?
