Since I was about 4 I’ve been doing homework, walking to school and studying needless information - and apparently it all culminated into the last two weeks: a simple memory test and an evaluation of the application of that knowledge.

The latter, naturally, was the harder part as my written communication is less than accurate; this blog supplying more than ample evidence of that fact.

I must admit - I am a little sad - but it’s from now I have decided to change my personality for the better. Such a milestone as the end of high school kinda makes you think about yourself - and I like to think that if I didn’t see anyone from school for a year, they would end up meeting a nicer person.

My decision to stop drinking alcohol has been developing for a while but it kicks in as of this moment. I’m far from a heavy drinker and so the justification of following up the “Do you drink?” question with a “… Kinda?” has been wearing thin for a while. I don’t even like the taste so it’s about time I answered with a “No”. And now I can. It’s not justification on anyone else mind. Those who like to drink - that’s great. I’ll stand with you. I’ll just prefer not standing there with a pint in my hand.

At the end of the day though. That’s not really the major change. I mean to be honest - that’s a very minimal change on my current self.

See, I think the human race is “too aware” of themselves. For some that includes characteristics of over-confidence, while others use more subtle methods of “drawing attention to themselves”. I complain.

I get moody over the littlest things. I mean if someone were to describe me as “laid-back” I would laugh in their faces. But I don’t want that. I want people to tell me I’m laid-back and know they mean it. At the end of the day I take everything too seriously. But why? None of us know how much time we’re going to be blessed with - maybe we should all start to enjoy the ride a bit more?

That’s exactly what I’m going to do.
