    Sounds good! Do you know yet what you will major in in college? And trust me, staying in shape is important, but school gym classes are best to get over and done with! I hear that since I left, my college has instituted some Physical Education requirement, but there was no such think when I was there. We had random spontaneous volleyball games in good weather, where people would rotate in and out between classes regardless of teams, but that was about it. College tends to have far more interesting sports opportunities than high school ever did.

    My life is NOT richer because I was once forced to play field hockey. And you cannot convince me otherwise!

    I was lucky, in that once we got into the higher grades, our schools had a lot more outdoor and interesting activities, and outward bound kinda stuff!

    I found that the last few months at my old school were some of the best, even though it does seem like everything's winding down - enjoy them! College life is such an incredible experience and I wish you every success for your future. You must be very excited!

    Lovely senior pic, too.

    I have absolutely NO clue what I'm going to major in. Right now, I'm accepted to the Residential College in the Arts and Humanities, but that still doesn't really narrow down what I can choose. I'm considering minoring in journalism, but I don't know what the major will be yet.

    I DO stay in shape - riding certainly makes sure of that! Whatever fitness level I gained during that semester came from being a working student at my barn, not playing 8 different versions of dodge ball (yes, 8.)

    My college actually has a Quidditch team, which sounds quite interesting. I may have to look into that...

    When it was warm out, my gym class spent most of the time outside, but that wasn't better - it meant that we were playing (flag-turned-contact) football! With the football coach as a teacher. On a team of varsity football players. I seriously got body slammed and thrown through the air, caught, and set down gently during one game (I'm still not even sure how that worked)

    Oh it goes by so fast, but it's also alot of fun! I loved senior week and prom at my school, I graduated last year. Do you have a senior trip?

    At this point, you can stop doing work now..

    I'm right there with ya! I am also a senior in high school and moving into college in about six months. I can't believe how fast the past three and a half years went. I still remember being terrified the first day of freshman year.

    Your senior pictures are very pretty too!

    RIP Sally

    How exciting Enjoy your last few weeks of high school, and also enjoy your parents. I'm almost finished with my sophomore year of college and just moved out on my own, and miss my mom terribly at times! Sounds like your staying busy. That's neat you did your senior pictures at the barn! Love the one you posted.

    Unfortunately you do have to take a gym credit for college, however they should have a ton of options. I hated gym in high school and wish I had the money to take a gym credit every semester in college! I've taken Pilates and Zumba and loved them both.

    Good luck on deciding your major. You could start with generals and talking with other students may give you a better idea of where you would like to go with your education.

    How exciting! Enjoy East Lansing, I was so close to going to MSU but my parents live 15-20 minutes away and I wanted to get a little further away than that It's a fun, great place to be though!

    8 versions of dodgeball? That's exactly what gym class should NOT be.
