Time Is Flying By!

Today is the last day of August! I can't believe it!! This entire summer just flew by. It's hard to believe that I won't be returning to high school in a week. My brother picked up his timetable and it made me a little sad to look at it. At the time, you don't realize how fast high school will pass. I still remember the first day of grade 8 like it was yesterday. But now I start a new chapter in my life. In a week I will be entering College. To be honest, I am scared out of my mind. What if I don't make any new friends, what if I can't handle it, and most importantly what if I lose touch with my friends who mean the world to me? But I am also excited because I know I will make new friends, I will be able to handle it, and I will stay friends with Georgie, Flora, and Millie, because our friendship is different from most people's. During our orientation, the speaker said "This is a blank slate, you can be whoever you want to be". This really got me thinking. In high school everyone thinks they know who you are without getting to know you. This year I am going to show the real me. I am going to try to be more outgoing and show everyone the real Mia, the Mia my friends know.

Mayne Island!

Over the past few days I have been in Mayne Island with my best friends Flora, Millie, and Georgie. Even though it was a very short period of time, I had a lot of fun. Way more than I expected. The sun was shining, we laughed and danced a lot, and everything felt so carefree. It felt like we were in our own movie. The first night we decided to go for a swim, without any clothes on. At first I didn't think we would go through with it but all of a sudden my bathing suit was off and I was running naked into the ocean. It felt so freeing! As we stood in the water laughing, high on life, we all looked up to see the same shooting star. It was a weird coincidence that we all saw the star at the same time. It felt like a movie. It is so beautiful there. The sky is so clear at night and you can see a lot of stars. I wanted to stay there forever. The  next day, being the weird kids that we are, decided to wave at pretty much everyone.  Well after we had our little dance party, we were sitting around discussing our lives, we saw a frisbee fly past our house. Two seconds later two boys walk past, so we decide to wave. Georgie and I wave excitedly while Mille does a weird hip swirl wave. It was quite funny! Next thing we know they are coming up to the door of the cabin. Of course I look like a wet cat. Flora answers the door and we casually come around the corner. They start talking to us, asking our ages, and then ask us if we want to go down to the beach later with them. Also the were extremely good looking. So we go down there and there is a whole bunch of people down there. I wish we could have hung out with them longer though. We also met some other kid, who was really creepy, and kinda ruined the experience for us. But the two other boys make up for the whole thing. The rest of the trip we were talking about them. They both had really cute smiles and they seemed like nice people. One of them said to us "I like coming out here because I can see all the stars. Some people think its gay but I don't care". It was something along the lines of that but as soon as he said that I was like where have you been all my life. I really didn't expect all this to happen in a matter of three days. I actually feel a lot closer to my friends. I feel like we needed this. We have only seen each other a handful of times this summer and we really needed to be reunited. The four of us have hung out all together once. And it was with other people too. I can't wait until next year when we stay for longer!!
