The days after we moved to Chatham seem to pass by very quickly and effortlessly. No wait, scratch that, there were countless efforts to get here, where we are now: Chatham Kent, Ontario.
It certainly is different from Toronto, and I have to say that it may be a good change after all.
I have not spoken to my best friend since I have seen her at school on Tuesday, February 26th. I have tried to contact her before I moved here but such luck was not in my cards.
AJ (my guy best friend in Toronto) called me tonight and left me happy and informed about the hopes of attending prom this June. Going back there will most definitely be an unforgettable memory. I'm so looking forward to it! ^^
Not so much the shopping aspects of it since I find shopping to be a slight annoyance.... -sighs-
Another thing is that the first day of school was a supposed "Bus Day" when buses don't run so kids don't come to school. It would be RIDICULOUS to take school buses in Toronto if you are attending high school, but in Chatham, it's a regular routine people go through everyday.
The changes we're going through now as a family aren't all that difficult as of now. I'm sure they will be different once we get used to this environment. My younger brother Chris and I, that is.
The basement is cold and bone-chilling. I have never resided in any form of home other than an apartment all my life, so this is weird. XD It's not a bad change, I suppose. But my room in Toronto was twice as wide as the room I have now in Chatham. I barely have enough space to put away all my things here. So I left some boxes as they are. I had around ten boxes or so full of things I would bring here. I still have to unpack two or three of them. It won't take too long but these days, I am always hungry or exhausted. I don't think it's a very healthy sign. Plus going back and forth from Toronto to Chatham these last few weeks left us with malnurishment and a constant diet of fast food. A greasy and trans-fat packed bag of flour and bloodclotted burgers and thin lines of fried potatoes, salted. Not a very balanced meal, I think.
I have not regretted making the choice to come to Chatham so far and I hope I won't regret it.
My old school was an environment I was very used to; people I knew all my high school life and friends who supported me in almost everything I did. But now I have to make new friends and acquaintances. It's not such a challenge for me as it is a requirement. I'm not sure how interactive I'll choose to remain with everyone here, but the goal is to get along with everyone "peacefully". Due to my social and outgoing personality, I will tend to make friends without thinking thoroughly. And because of my intelligence and different way of thinking, I will tend to separate myself from everyone once in a while.
An escape route that has been all too frequent these last couple years.
Stressing over marks wasn't anything I worried too much about up until this year. I noticed a gradual but steady decrease in my work efforts and left me in fear for my hopes of getting into the university, since the chances were slimming down gradually. This will all change soon. I won't just sit back and let laziness ruin the opportunity of being able to LEARN! In a brand new environment packed full of students who are just as intelligent as I hope to be one day. Students who surpass expectations of parents! A dream too good to be true.
I will anticipate this moment and work towards it. I WILL pass all my courses with high marks. I WILL obtain and maintain a high average throughout the remaining semester and succeed.
