Today was my last first day of high school. I feel like I could be challenging myself a little more with my classes, but at the same time I don't really want to get bogged down with tons of work like last year. I'm taking the Honors SITES block, which is pretty much English and a history of service learning. I get to volunteer a lot, and that's important to me. I hate people who always say that they're best interest is civil liberties, yet don't think twice about volunteering anywhere. People who preach liberalism and empathy and never lift a finger to help anyone but themselves. I have been one of those people for far too long, and it's time to be a little more selfless. I'm also taking AP Stats... this class could be kind of hard, as I'm terrible with math. At least we all have our own computers, though. Let's see. I might decide to get out of lunch, as the only other seniors in it are Mark and Zach (Zach is my boyfriend's brother). I wonder where everyone went. I know that a lot of people are doing post secondary, but I didn't really feel like doing the whole college thing just yet. I hate LCCC and don't really dig CSU that much, either, and I just want to focus on finishing out high school for now. I'm taking at least one AP test this year, and maybe another one if I decide to take Spanish. I'm thinking about AP European History, too, in place of lunch. Decisions, decisions... I don't know. I want to take an easy year, but somehow also make sure that colleges won't think that I'm slacking off. sigh. It's weird being the oldest people in the school, and chillin' with freshmen in German. haha. I have German I with my little brothers' friends, directly followed by Honors Spanish V, which is pretty much an AP class.

Anyway... I'm kind of pissed because I haven't gotten my parking pass yet and my car is going to be 1,000 to fix. Given that it was made the year that I was born, I don't really think that it's a wise investment. I don't know if I should even buy a new one or just save the money for college. I'm leaning towards the latter, as I won't even be able to drive next year at school. This is such a stupid thing to worry over, but I do. I'm going to apply for my pass tomorrow and see if they just let me have it.

So yeah. Class this year isn't going to suck as much as I thought it would. I like how it goes from having 40 people in my SITES block in the morning to only 6 in my last class. This year will just be what I make of it. How does everyone else like their schools so far?
