So the dreaded first day of school has passed. I shaked the whole day, mostly from anxiety and exitement, then mixed with fear and self-consiousness. I'm still adjusting to my schedule, i mean, it's hard to make your feet go on a different route after using the previous one for a year. During Spanish (6th period), i feel like sleeping because i did that last year, but it was 7th. And after lunch, i had trouble going to history, not math. I don't have much trouble in the mornings, but after lunch, it's a bit hard. I have to make a whole new plan as to when and how to go to my locker then to my class in time to not be late, and since my locker is way in the back of the school, it's pretty hard. But i'm sure i'll adjust to it, i've already made some plans. The one thing that i'm kinda most excited about is not having PE! Finally, no more sweating, ugly PE clothes, smelly locker room, and changing. And without PE, i don't get hungry as fast, which is always a plus. This morning i had to get up at 6, and i just was not hungry, so i didn't eat anything, but by 3rd period my stomach was growling soooo loud, and it was when the students were writing in their journals, so it was pretty loud. Thank god i had TA, and my locker was right outside, so i could get food.
So...1st period is Mandarin, and it's a really small class. There are only three guys, and i feel pretty bad for them, but not too much. It's a pretty easy class, and i pretty much know everyone, except for the sophmores. Not much to talk about.
2nd.....Calculus...I was really excited when i saw my friends, and we sat together, until the teacher put us in alphabetical order. I don't like it when we're put in alphabetical order, because my last name starts with a W, so i'm always away from my friends, while they are grouped together. It makes me feel so sad and left out, grrrr......Oh well, i have to concentrate in class anyways. Hopefully he'll let us change seats later. My teacher was my brother's volleyball coach last year, and so he knows who i am, or did. When he got to my name during roll he said to me "Do I know you?" and i told him i was Freddy's sister, and then he said "oh yeah, freddy's sister! i thought you were a college student." Being recognized as older than my real age actually makes me happy because it makes me look mature and stuff, and my mom told me that if people think of you as older when you're young, then they'll think of you as younger when you're old. So that's good. i'm kinda nervous about that class though, because i want to do well, and i'm afraid i won't.
3rd..TA for freshmen. It's an English class, and i love the teacher, she's so sweet, and we're both Grey's Anatomy addicts. The students seem nice, although my friends who were "welcomers" at the freshmen orientation said they were worse than the freshmen last year, and trust me, they were bad, except for a few exceptions..so i don't know what to think, might take awhile to come up with a conclusion.
4th...Honors English. I can tell you that i was the most nervous in that class, i was TERRIFIED that the teacher was going to call on me for my opinions. And she did, but surprisingly i came up with a pretty satisfying answer. The teacher seem pretty nice. One friend told me i'll love her and another said she's an "omega *itch". She seems nice, but when she talks she goes from high to low, so the end of her sentences will end with her mouthing the words, and since i'm blocked by a person's head, i have no idea how she ends her sentences, it actually gets pretty annoying after a while.
Lunch...we found a really great, shady spot. The only offside is that now we have to share with former freshmen, now sophmores. They are so disrespecting it's not even funny (yes, i'm an idiot who cares about lowerclassmen respecting upperclassmen). So my friend and i dropped our backpacks at a spot and went to the cafeteria, came back, and realized our "group" has moved and sophmores have taken over, so we went there and i said " 'scuse me, i have to get my backpack", and then one of them turned to me and said "you're excused", i was taken aback, so natural reflexes took over and i muttered "thanks". But i got pissed after i found our "group". She didn't seem to be kidding, cuz her tone was kinda harsh, and she wasn't smiling or anything. Oh and the sophmore preps are now in the exact spot where "our" preps were last year. Wow, i actually pay attention to these stuff.
5th....i really needed to wash my hands, but to avoid being late, i endured it and went to History. The room is really small, but i like it, it has a very homey feel.. The teacher started class by speaking in German and introducing this class as German 1, it went on for sometime, and then this person stood up to leave and the teacher asked him what he was doing, and he said "sorry i'm in the wrong class". Of course we bursted out laughing and the teacher told him that he was just kidding, this is US history. Nothing else to tell...
6th...Spanish...i felt like the day was almost ending, but it's not, this is not my last class anymore...The teacher spoke fluently in Spanish, and she said that this year it'll all be in spanish, no english. Kinda intiminating, but exciting too. I can listen and read really well, just have to work on speaking and writing...i really had to pee, but it just seemed rude to interupt her, so i held it for the whole period, and then sped off to the bathroom when the bell rang, have to make a whole new plan for bathroom breaks now, i used to have TA during 6th.
7th(!)....AB Bio. I didn't think i would like the teacher very much, but he's actually really nice. I like him, he described us as his family, which may be weird for some, but i liked it. He said he was going to take care of us and for us not to worry, which was really sweet and made him more personal. I can't wait till we get our books tomorrow. Oh, have to remind my mom to write a check. I've realized that all my science teacher since 9th grade like to cook, i don't know if that's just a coincidence, or is it some connection to the science part. My friend Kevin is in my class, we've had science together since 9th grade, so it's pretty cool to see him again. He grew soo tall. I swear, all the guys who were shorter than me during 9th grade are hitting puberty now and growing like sprouts. I'm so happy! no more creepy tall girl in a group of guys...
So overall i really like my classes, and my teachers as well. Hopefully i'll enjoy this year....:)
