Introduction

If you are currently reading this, then it's either one of two reasons. A. You're the lonely type who seeks solace in reading peoples' blogs and then spending the rest of your day making conversation with them, trying to stir up some desolate friendship or 2. you're in my Advanced Composition class and have to read this for our assignments. Either way, I'm sorry for you. So I guess introductions have been skipped. I'm sorry. My name's Raisa. I'm a senior at Cudahy High School and will be attending the University of Wisconsin Madison in the fall. I'm a tad bit excited about that! :) That means, though, that I can't slack off these next two months if I want to pass the rest of my classes. That in turn, inadvertently, leads me back to this blog. You'll be with me for the next two months, reading my work, and I hope getting something out of it. True, I really want this to be another good grade in my Skyward, but it would be pretty amazing if as I'm walking down the hall, someone who has read my blog will come up to me and say something along the lines of "Hey, what you wrote yesterday really made me laugh. That's cool. I'm not creeping on you, though. Don't worry." That would probably make my day! Anyways, back to this blog. Being a teenage girl, you can probably expect me to vent on here about love, relationships, annoying classes, and everything in between. On occasion, I want to get into deeper things though, like general topics such as fear or the future. Hate and overcoming adversity. Things that aren't always so black and white to write about. I can't guarantee it will always make sense but I'll do my best to try and convey my thoughts out in an appropriate fashion, with an occasional sarcastic or odd remark of course. I hope you enjoy this blog. If you don't, then I'm going to find you and cut out your...actually I'm kidding. If you don't, then it's whatever. One thing I've taken away from the past four years of being in this graffiti covered, b.o. smelling typical high school is that you can't always please everyone. It will NEVER happen. So just enjoy the ride and let everything fall by the wayside.
