What are you going to do to prepare for the new school year?

Yeah. I'm back and making lists again. I want you all to think about what you're going to do to prep yourself for a new school-year. Here's my list. Some of them may apply to you, and some of them may not. (The reason why I'm making my list in the middle of July is so that I have time to do all these things now, so I'm not rushing at the end of August).

• Clean my room. This is definitely something I have to do. I mean, it looks nice when you walk in, I guess, but then when you open the desk drawers... Erm, you don't want to know.
• Visit the eye doctor to update my eye prescription (whatever you call it) and get contact lenses so I can actually see now.
• Buy a new backpack/tote bag thing... Yeah. You know, to carry my crap in.
• Buy a washcloth. Which I still don't have. So I can wash my face in the morning (Duh! What else would I use one for?!).
• Update the songs on my iPod, and actually charge it. It seriously does come in handy at school. Who would've guessed?
• Clean the desktop on my computer (it's filled with junk). Also clear the memory of pictures on my camera/phone so they're ready to take new Facebook pictures.
• Get some new hair stuff (elastics, headbands, hair clips...)
• Re-highlight my hair. Just because it looks good. And picture day is also in September for your information.
• Buy some new nail polish and makeup. I'm thinking for nail polish I'm going to get an emerald green and a maroon red. And a new black. :)
• Buy a new pair of jeans. I'm still debating over Seven jeans or True Religion's. What do you think? Or maybe Pac Sun jeans? Or Hollister? Tough decision.
• Find my First-Day-Of-School outfit. It's got to be perfect!
• Buy some cardigans for the fall season. And winter, too, because it gets chilly. (Ha! I already have my winter jacket, too.)

This is all I can think of at the moment, but I'm definitely sure I left out something. I just don't know what. Oh well, I can add to this list later. I hope I helped you guys spark some ideas of things to do before the summer ends. Bye!

Nervous about the first day: my dream last night.

Ever since the end of the year I've been telling everyone that I'm not at all nervous about next year. I mean, my first year of high school is going to be great. Obviously! I actually believed that too. But last night, the dream I had made me think differently.

In my dream, I was lost in the school and I couldn't find my next class, which was Fashion and Design (a class I didn't even sign up for in real life). Another part of my dream consisted of the principal announcing there were too many ninth graders and some people would have to go back to elementary school as a fifth grader! And I was one of those people. 

I found myself back with my old fifth grade teacher, and a bunch of random unlucky students. Then after first period, we were allowed back to the high school, which was good. The only bad part was, the other kids in the high school didn't view us as ninth graders, but rather, fifth graders. Not only that, but I was scared to look down and realize my shirt was in my hand and I was only wearing a bra. I ran to a bathroom and put on my shirt, looked around, and saw a boy in there. I told him, "This is the girls bathroom." He just looked at me and said "I know," and gave me a creepy smile. I bolted out of there.. It was terrible!

I woke up with this sudden realization: I was scared of going into high school, but I didn't know it deep down. My dream confirmed my fears... I am scared of the typical things a teenager is scared of. Getting lost, fitting in, wearing the right clothes... etc. I hope September wont be as bad as that. Only 48 days until I find out.
