A letter from Sep 1st, 2021

Peaceful right?

dear me of 2022, today was my first day of sophomore year. i could say that it was average and not too bad. we have some new classmates, but i haven't gotten to know them yet, of course. some people from last year aren't here anymore. it's an international school, what do i expect, but it still feels weird everytime. i still wonder sometimes how all of my past ones are doing. have you gotten to know the newbies now? made a new close friend? i hope so. at the moment this seems like our only chance at gaining an actual best friend. your only one at the moment is 1200km away, where you had to leave her last year (for you now two years ago), as you left the 4 years of brussels behind. slovenia is nice though, not to complain. it's our native country, our childhood country, and there's always something special about that. to get back to the point, i hope you've made some new valuable friends. how about him? at the moment he's only a friend, and you have no feelings towards him, but it's exciting that he made an effort and invited you out around the city with him. especially when he never showed an interest before. do you maybe know what changed? did you hang out more? what happened? i want to know all the details. he said he might be leaving next year though, going to england... anything about that? tell me all about it. now, let's go back to school. how did this school year go? by the time you're reading this, you should've gotten your report/grades a day ago. how were they? was it even harder this year? gotten all As again? if not, it's ok. can't expect that as school gets harder. if yes, im freaking jumping up and down from my pride! were the teachers ok? you got some new ones this year. what subject was the hardest, which the easiest? which most enjoyable? how did your personal project go? what did you end up doing for the product, how was the writing of the report? was it all as exhausting as you're scared it'll be? i'm sure you did well. and what about diploma programme of international baccalaureate next year? which subjects did you chose? i reckon higher level math and bio are a given, but what about chem and physics? which did you choose? have you got any clue as to what you wanna study now? do you feel ready for dp? and how about your mental health? was it as hard as last year? better? worse? were you online again? i know you're scared that it'll crush you if it happens again. i hope you feel good. are your interests still the same? have you gotten any new ones? i hope you haven't forgotten about what you like now, it brings you a lot of joy. <3 did you try any extracurriculars at school? what about the ones outside school? ever go to any archery competitions? did you ever finish the pieces and so far away drawings? (this is really personal, idk if any public reader will get it). has blue & grey ended yet? just pure curiosity. was any new music released that you love? any new albums/mixtapes from your favorite artists? how were the grammys this year? and how is the corona situation? how many are vaccinated? and i almost forgot!!! how does it feel to be sixteen? did you start the B driving license process as you've dreamed for so long? if yes, how far along are you? are you good at driving already? what car do your practice with, i know dad wouldn't let you use our usual. that's all i can really remember at the moment. i really hope you enjoy your summer holidays :) all the love, past you <3
