day 1: hopes, plans, and dreams for the next 365 days with a picture of you.
first of all, here's the funny thing and here's what i said just about 365 days ago--
okay, well, i haven’t really been thinking about the coming really soon future, as in the future of the next few days, i really am just focusing on what i want to do with the very distant future, as in in college, after college, etc. i really should be focusing on my direct future, because that is what is going to lead to all of the stuff with my distant future.
REGARDLESS, here it is.
Hopes for the future:
I hope to make it through the week. i hope that i don’t completely die in swim practice after a full day of school and track. I hope to be called by Rock Spring and be told that i received a job. i want to do really well in long course this season, and i want this summer to be the best on i have had so far. i hope to earn enough money to go to France this summer, and i hope to get a pair of Dr. Martens for my birthday. i hope that i get to go to the beach this summer more than i got to go to the beach last summer, and i hope that summer comes really soon. i hope that my grades get much better this quarter, and i hope that finals go really well. i hope that i am genuinely happy for the rest of the year, and i hope that nothing will be able to take away my happiness. i hope that everything goes well for me, and i hope i can handle next year, in all of its crazyness that i can already tell it is going to be. i hope i can handle the SATs, and i hope i can handle looking at colleges. i just hope i can make it through the next 365 days without having a mental breakdown.
Plans:
i plan to have a great sweet sixteen, but i don’t really want a party. i plan to celebrate in France, with my grandparents and whoever chooses to come to Paris with me. I plan to go to practice everyday, and i plan to sleep all weekend in order to catch up on all the sleep i will be missing during the week. i plan to get better at planning things, and i plan to start thinking more about my future, one step at a time.
Dreams:
i dream of having a fantastic rest of the school year, and i dream of a fantastic swim season in which i make long course states, which actually exist.i dream that my summer will be fabulous, full of a great job and lots of money and great birthday presents and great clothes. and i dream of continuing to write and getting a book published, and doing really well for myself. andddd i’m really done with this. i dream of bigger and better people places and things. the end.
And now let's see what i would say today, just for comparison's sake.
hopes: I agree with the beginning of the first answer. I hope to make it through the week. I hope i do okay in swim practice, and i hope that i can keep up with my homework as well as i am already, though it is so early in the quarter to really tell. I hope that tonight i will be able to get to sleep at a relatively reasonable time, and i pray that somehow practice gets cancelled so that somehow i will be able to sleep in on saturday. I don't need to hope that Rock Spring calls me back with news that i got the job, i already have a job at the arena club. ummmmm i hope that i find a date to ring dance. and SOON. I hope summer is amazing, i hope i swim well, and i hope that things just go well for me. i hope to go back to paris reallyreally soon, i miss it so much i can't breathe.
A third time coming back to look at this challenge, and now i will explain what i hope, what i plan, and what i dream of.
Hopes for the future:
i hope that tomorrow i will wake up, and i will go to swim practice and one of the kids there will smile at me, or thank me, or someone will make me feel confident that though i am not the strictest of the coaches, that i am still doing a good job, in my own way. I hope that during championships i will talk to many different people from many different teams that i have lost touch with because i quit swimming, and i hope that when i finally finish the swim season this year i will have good feelings about it and happy memories.
i hope that on august 24th my mom will not cry excessively. i hope that i do not forget anything, and i hope my dog doesn't forget about me. i hope that i make lots of wonderful new friends, and i hope my roommate is someone i will feel comfortable around. i hope that college is the type of wonderful experience that everyone has been warning me it will be.
i hope that i find my passion. nevermind find, i believe writing is my passion, and i hope that i find a way to utilize it, to improve it, to learn from it. i hope i can travel, i hope i can learn, i hope i can experience. i hope i can go back to paris because i miss it wonderfully.
plans:
i plan to move into college on august 24th. i plan to make new friends, i plan to do my homework, to become more organized, i plan to eat healthier, i plan to work out more. but most of all, i plan to work on my image of myself. i plan to gain more self-confidence, to respect myself so that people respect me.
dreams:
i dream of a better world. I dream of my mom being happy again, i dream of a world where i can talk to both of my parents again, i dream of living only with the stresses of a normal college student. i dream of traveling, i dream of saving the world, i dream of writing, i dream of living. i dream of happiness, i dream of constantly avoiding settling, i dream of ups and downs. i dream of life itself, and everything everyone has told me about it.
