Writing a letter to a friend on your plans for this academic session

Hey, Sarah!
It's been a while since we spoke to each other. How have you been?
I'm actually great! New school year has just started and I have great plans for it. I intend to start playing volleyball - you know I always wanted to do that. There is a volleyball activity at school so I'm planning on joining them. Apart from that, this is the year where I'll get straight As! I'm planning on studying hard because next year I'll be going to college so I need to fix my grades if I want to get in the college I want. There's also this literature club at school that I'd love to join because you know how much I love reading! I know this might be a lot but I'm really hoping I'll get to manage all and still have a bit of social life as well!
I hope you're doing great as well. I really wish we could see each other soon so please come visit me!
