Adequate/Hope

Assignment: One word that will define the rest of your senior year and why.

So far, the word that would probably describe my senior year so far is adequate.  And if I had to bet, I'd probably say it's going to define the remaining time I have in WJPS.  However, that doesn't mean I want it to stay that way.

As far as grades go, my first marking period grades were good, except one class.  Depending on how this week goes, the first half of the second marking period could either go exactly the same way or worse.  I have a time management issue. The college process wasn't as stressful as I believed it to be, especially since I only applied to CUNYs.  The SATs were meh; my score was solid.  The only better than adequate thing I really feel is better than adequate is working.  I work two jobs, one which I love with a passion, not that I could ever tell my coworkers that.

I would want the rest of my senior year to be described as hope.  College acceptance letters are supposed to start coming soon and I would like to get my GPA and SAT score up to NYU transfer requirements by the end of this year, as well as my Regents scores.  I plan for Queens for two and the NYU for the next two.

I haven't even thought about the social aspect of my senior year, except for finding my prom dress.  I lost my social life I think.  Not that I had much of one to begin with.  I do hope for more.  But going out requires money and all of mine is going towards tuition.  I hope to stay in touch with my friends after I leave here.

I hope to feel like I've accomplished something more than adequate before I leave this place.  I hope to be happy with what I've done and not just content.  But I need to do more than hope.  I need to work for what I want.
