Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Textbook?
I've heard that junior year is the worst, most difficult year of the four, at least at my high school. But after surviving through one week of it, I can say that it's not too bad. It, and all the preparations for it, have taken up waaaaay too much of my time lately, but otherwise I think I'll live.
The first day of school was funny because the only class I walked out of and thought, "Wow. This class is going to be hard" was Art. I realized that it would help to know how to draw, something I'm not too good at. But over the last three assignments we've been given this week, I see that it won't be that bad after all if I keep several good erasers handy.
It's going to be a crazy year. I don't think it's really hit me that I'm now considered an "upper-class woman" yet; after all, I've accidentally gone down the stairs to my old locker twice already. This year will have junior rings and AP tests and a whole lot of other things I haven't done before, but that sounds more fun than terrifying to me!
So that's all for now, Caster People. The big bad textbook (which really is enormous) calls. I'll keep my eye out for more new things to do and draw, and we'll see how it all turns out.

Junior year was the toughest for me! Balancing all my AP’s and college apps and trying to balance a social life was waaaaaay to much! Good luck, I’m sure you will do great! You are a caster girl after all ;)

I think senior year was the hardest because I applied to college in the late summer and early fall. Once you get to second semester you are really ready to graduate and it makes it harder to concentrate. But don’t worry you’ll be fine!
