My parents are leaving for Australia tomorrow, and I can't help but feel sad. Sure it's only gonna be for a week but Australia seems so far away. If they were going to Baguio for a month, I wouldn't really mind. It's not out of the country.

Since they're leaving for tomorrow, they can't take me to school on the first day. It's been a tradition for us. During the first day of the school year, they make it a point to drive me to school. It's a very loving gesture, and it makes me feel safe because I know that they are always there to support me.

Now, they wouldn't be able to witness my first day as a senior. My sister offered to take me instead, and I guess it's better than nothing.

School starts on Monday, and I already started preparing. I bought a new school bag which has this really cool pink and beige plaid design. I consider myself as a preppy person-- and so does Joaquin. I enjoy looking preppy. I believe that it makes me look smart and proper enough.

Joaquin is saving up to buy a backpack similar to what I've purchased, but he wants the blue and beige instead of the pink one. How cute is that?

I have printed labels for my things and I shall start wrapping all my school books tomorrow. I bought new school supplies and I can't wait to fix all my stuff, especially my accordion.

I'm amazed on how fast summer went by. I can still recall the last day of school. We were all excited for summer. Plans were made, friends were contacted, etc.

Now, it's the other way around. Everyone's preparing for school and enjoying the last days of summer at the same time. On Monday, my senior year begins. I'm savoring what's left of my summer, because I don't think I'm ready to go to school yet.
