Where did you used to work? And I actually applied for two jobs a couple months ago, and one told me they didn't want me (it was at PetCo haha) and the other never got back in touch, so it's safe to assume they didn't want to either. As much as I'd like a job, I'm afraid of wasting my whole summer working, and I think that's what's holding me back from applying more seriously.

It does feel weird in a way! Even if some of my friends haven't been the best, it'll feel weird moving on from them and not seeing them, especially since some of them are moving really far away. It was also kind of weird because I saw my best friend from tenth grade (she stopped talking to like all of us when she got her boyfriend, it was really weird), and I had just assumed that she dropped out because she had a baby in August and never came back to school. It was kind of nice to see her, even after all that had happened? She looked really happy.

Oh gosh wow, it must have been a hard exam. Who sets your exams? Is it like your teacher or an official exam board? o: And oh that's good! Well a pass is still really good, I think so anyway! And yeah it is because it's not like there is any right or wrong answer, it's mostly based on how you have written.

It must be, I don't know how you do it. ;-; I remember right before I went on my Christmas holiday last year, I was so exhausted. I had literally so much work to do.. Anyway do you have any plans for your summer holiday? Oh wow you've had a job since you were 12?! I guess that is lucky for you. ^^ And yes it is really rude if they don't tell you, because it's like you have put so much time and effort into writing out the application form (I mean one of the ones I did yesterday took me an hour x_x), so the least they could do is just email you back or something. It really is!! What is your NNID? Maybe we can add each other and play against one another sometime. :3

There's nothing wrong with being lazy! Tbh I'll probably spend most of my summer being lazy, even though I'd really like to get a job. Are you planning on working this summer?

I'm actually not really feeling anything towards graduation at the moment. I still don't feel like anything's happening, and part of me thinks that's because I'm staying here for college, so there won't be a huge change of location for me or anything. I think tomorrow it'll probably hit that I won't see probably 95% of these people again, and I'm not very sure how to feel about that.

I've been pretty well! I got kind of sad on Wednesday night for some reason, but then I started rewatching my favorite anime and it really cheered me up haha. How have you been? And I actually graduate tomorrow! We had the rehearsal today and I'm kind of happy because I have a seat at the end of the row.

Hey! I hope you've had a nice week and that you have a good weekend, too.

And yeah we do, it's a shame but we do get like weeks off when you don't, and we get more time off at Christmas, so in some ways I prefer that. I would get too tired out otherwise. ^^ And thank you so much! It's demotivating when you keep getting emails back saying you've been rejected, but at least I am actually being told I didn't get the job, because sometimes I don't hear anything back at all. I hate applying for jobs. :x I just want to sit around and play Splatoon all day!

That's great! And I am glad you did a bit better than usual in Maths, and well... Chemistry is really difficult anyway so I can't blame you. :\ As long as you tried your best then there is no room for regret! And well I haven't gotten my results yet (we get them in August), but I think overall they went pretty well. My English Literature exam was the worst one, but even then that was okay. We just had this really weird extract we had to analyse and I didn't understand what it was talking about (since it is in relation to one of the topics we've studied) and it was so hard to follow. But I just wrote down what I thought was best. And after the exam everyone said they did the same thing as me which was reassuring. But the rest of my exams were much easier than I thought they would be, so that's good!

That's okay don't worry about it! I know you said you had exams soon so I assumed you were probably busy with them. I had my exams too recently so I was busy revising for them, but they're all done now. How did your exams go anyway? And ohh gosh, you're so lucky. Your summer break starts so early! Mine doesn't start until mid July... And I'm glad you're great! I'm also doing well thank you, just been busy applying for jobs lately, so fingers crossed I at least get an interview soon!

Hey there! It's been a while since we last spoke. How have you been? ^^

Oh wow, I really love your new avatar and signature! They're so pretty and summery.

It's sort of like an internship but much more supervised by whoever your mentor is, who usually isn't a teacher unless you want to do teaching stuff. You get to shadow your mentor at their job, and I know some people who have even helped out with the job, so it sounds pretty neat. I really wish I could've taken the class, but it didn't fit in my schedule.

Oh wow, that sucks. My friend didn't really do that, she's just hit on me for awhile and then started pretending I didn't exist lol. I'm sorry your friend did that to you, that sounds like it'd be really hard to go through.

Good luck with the teaching thing! My school (and probably a lot of others) also offers mentorships, so you could always go that route. I know that helps a lot of people decide for sure that they want to do something or even realize they don't, so it seems like a good program.

Ooh, I get you. I'm terrified of heights, so I'd really rather not go on an airplane, at least for now. There are places I want to go that will require getting on one, so I guess someday I'll have to suck it up and go on one.

Your avatar is really cute!

Teaching sounds really fun! A lot of my friends really wanna be teachers, and our school has this class (which I think is sponsored by the Virginia DOE so maybe if you move here your school will have it!) that is kind of like an internship and gives them experience in teaching. Does your state have anything similar to it? Nursing sounds pretty cool too, but I feel like so many nurses don't get the respect they deserve, so idk I did be able to handle it. Hopefully that changes in later years.

Have you tried volunteering at your animal shelter? I do and it's a lot of fun! I've never gone flying before, but airports do seem like neat people (I went to Dulles, I think, one time when my brother went to Spain). Would you want to be a pilot?

Yeah, sadly sometimes it's in everyone's best interest for certain relationships to end. I get what you mean! It makes me feel weird knowing all the stuff I did about her (and she was the first person I told about being gay, so she knows stuff about me), but I'm starting to learn I didn't know as much as I thought I did lol. I guess it also feels weird because I really think she was my first love, and I'm still not really over her.

Wow that was corny haha sorry.

And the school I'm going to is pretty big! It's about 20,000 undergrad, I think, so hopefully I'll find some friends there. And good luck! I'm sure you'll find someplace you fit in, and everyone says that in the first few weeks everyone's really nervous and looking to make friends, so even if you are scared, you definitely won't be the only person.

And I do still want to be a vet, but I'm interested in a lot of stuff, so if that doesn't work out or I lose interest in it, I'll hopefully have other things to turn to. Is there anything in particular you're thinking about doing?

There's nothing wrong with that! Tbh I feel a little uneasy about some things, but I feel like everything will probably work out for the best. And that's not lame at all! I still feel kind of lost without my old best friend, but I should really move on at this point because she hasn't really treated anyone right for awhile now, it seems. I hope everything works out for you! You're a really sweet person and you deserve good things.

I feel you on starting over. It's gonna be harder for me since I'm going to a school in the town I live in, and so are some of my friends, but I probably won't hang out with one of them and the other one and I have some opposing viewpoints, so I dunno how long our friendship will last. I'm sure you'll do great making friends! Are you thinking about going to school? If you do, you should just try to get involved with stuff that interests you so you can meet people with similar interests.

I was reading on another forum where people were posting about their plans for the future/ what they're already doing, and it got me kind of excited for my own, even if I don't have someone to share that stuff with yet. It's a nice change of pace because earlier I was kind of nervous about everything.

Oh wow, it sounds like you guys have a lot of neat stuff! We just have art (I through IV, then two AP classes), ceramics, and a class called functional art, I think, which sounds like it'd be close to the jewelry class you were talking about, mixed with some other things. A class on jewelry making would be really cool to take! That really sucks that no one likes the teacher, though. I know there's one art teacher who comes across as kind of standoffish until you get to know her, and then her students really love her, but I guess that's not the case with yours.

I'm sorry your year didn't go very well! I hope you have a nice summer, though. Have you started thinking about what you're doing after school (lol sorry, you're going to be getting that question a lot soon)? And I'm kind of excited for summer, but I'm more excited for school in the fall and I guess the future.

Oh wow, that sucks about the teacher. Does your school differentiate between art classes like that a lot (like painting, ceramics, etc.)? The most we have is a separate class for ceramics, which I really wanted to take, but I had to drop it to take physics. I think I'm going to take ceramics at our rec center or at the local community college, though, so that should be fun! Do you like to do art stuff?

Oh god, that's awful. People at my school openly sell those brownies (like they come into class to trade them off for money), but I don't think anybody's ever brought them to a dance or anything.

Yeah, our official last day for seniors is June first, but the last day I'm really doing anything is May 28th, so I may just skip out on that Friday and the Monday after. Definitely skipping that Monday, but I may do my chem labs a little late and have to turn them in on Friday, which is fine. Are you excited for school to get out?
