First day of the absence of my parents. Already, the house feels empty and quiet. Usually, it's just me and our helper since my siblings are working and they come home late at night.

I miss my parents already, and I emailed them to keep them updated with my daily happenings. I wish my papers would be processed ASAP so I can follow them in California. I'm looking forward to being with them again, and I know that we will have so much fun there.

I had a blast today. I aced two of my quizzes: one in Math, and the other one in Physics. Isn't that great? I keep a record of my scores at the back of every subject notebook per quarter, and so far my second quarter scores are just superb.

I'm back on track, and I can feel it. I feel the motivation and the slightest bit of hope. I haven't accumulated any absences or tardiness either, which is a good thing. I'm finally focused and determined to get fabulous grades, be a consistent honor student, and a great soccer player.

To all those people who have conspired to bring me down and ruin the rest of my senior year, you better watch your back. Because I am decisive to excel and my eyes are on the prize. I'm driven to finish the race-- first place.

Watch out, people. You ain't seen the best of me yet.
