first off, i'd like to apologize to everyone whose journalS i normally comment on...and haven't for the last few months :> i'm seriously really sorry about being a horrible friend and i'll try to pick up on that now that my
time in hell is pretty much over with.
so school basically started and it's going pretty well. i have a high b in calc, so hopefully i'll be able to pull that up by the end of semester with extra credit and not tanking tests. rn i've got an essay to rewrite and calc hw to doooooo. ;; i gave up on keeping up with kpop for the time being and returned to my jdrama corner for a while.
mock trial was amazing this year. i can't even begin to describe how - it was just. everyone got together and worked hard every single day and helped each other out and we made it past round 2 for the first time in years and the seniors were so damn happy because it was their last year and they finally got smth out of it. the thing about mock trial, which i realized when sarah pointed it out, is that you get people coming from all walks of life, so to speak. you get cheerleaders and athletes and geeks and nerds and those annoying outspoken leaderly people you swear you could never be friends with in a million years; you spend everyday with them and then you DO become friends, because you're helping each other with everything you need to do and pointing out things and supporting them and god i'm going to cry if i keep typing but. no joke.
this year is gonna be special to me for forever and it's one of those things i'm going to carry with me all my life. it might sound stupid and corny and totally cliche, but that's exactly how it feels. it's one of those things that you have to experience to legit understand that the stories they spin in those ridic dramas about friendship and teamwork
are REAL. it's fucking real and it fucking exists and i'm so glad that i know it is. i think that's what i'm most grateful for this thanksgiving - having such an amazing team go all the way up to quarterfinals, having a team that is actually a team and not people who just want the words "mock trial" on their college app to make it look good. having people who care as much as you do and put in just as much time and effort and i just. shit, these are the people who made me cry at school when we didn't make semifinals. this is my fucking family.
this about sums it up:
i'm feeling really sentimental and gross and crap rn so i'll just stop here and talk about jyj and six flags later.
