I'm going to try to start and write again.
Don't think I'll keep it up, however.
So the school year has started (did Aug 25) and we are in the new school which is incredibly different. I only recently got over it, I'm a little sad to see the old school go, and even the trailers a little. I'm sure I complained about them alot before but I think it was more just a reflex since they had seemed so awful and everyone else seemed to hate them. Not to say I liked them, but they were ok. I'm sure Ill come to like the new building alot better but I took EuroCiv in those trailers so they shall always hold great memories.
I remember thinking though that even though I'd miss it alot, its be nice to have an English class again in which we just write.
Well.
English sucks.
Yes, I just uttered a phrase I never though I would in my entire life. I really hope it gets better, and I have hope it does but so far I've begun to dread it. I dread it so much that I'd rather be in Math (which is Algebra II and so more surprising) then it. It's not that I've gotten any better at Math or anything, or come to dislike it less but thats just how unenjoyable my English class is so far. It's the teacher. Taylor. She always, ALWAYS gives me such a condescending look for reasons I don't know and I just really don't enjoy her teaching style. Most of the time its her just droning on to us and not allowing us to just have class discussions without her interruptions. Thats one thing I loved so much about Euro Civ, class discussions. That was a time I could really bond with everyone in my class, even people I usually don't talk to or hang out with.
Its so sad now. I always disliked doing school work, but I liked---almost loved even, school for the most part. I didn't mind class work, discussing, learning. Just homework XD. So in that sense it was somewhat of a calmer for me. But now I find myself dreading almost every second of it. Math is Math. English, I have already explained. Spanish is kinda boring since I already know it. World History is ok I guess...we're doing alot on politics revolutions, and government studies and Mr. Smedly is funny but I really dislike his notes. They are so vague, and what we are doing right now doesn't interest me to much since we don't really do alot of discussing (again mainly him just talking to us) but I have hope that will get better once we do more foreign studies. Chemistry I kind of enjoy but I suck as it and it always makes me feel stupid. Psychology is good...but the problem is that there are only two sophomores (including me), one junior, and ten seniors. Everytime I speak I can see them looking at me and there are these two particular girls who often giggles and it makes me feel like shit or as if Im saying something stupid.
I think the only class I like whole-heartedly write now is Tolkien, and (surprise, surprise)Quinn! We've read The Hobbit, studied about Tolkien, his past, what a great philologist he was, Indo-Europeans, Anglo-Saxons, and we've recently begun reading Beowulf. We saw a scene in the extended version of Fellowship of the Ring which represented the Anglo-Saxon culture quite well (Funeral) and it was amazing, makes me want to see the extended version for all of them but I'd want to see it with someone. Dunno why but I don't like seeing movies alone---but then again I really dislike it when people talk so much or comment excessively during movies XD; I'm picky.
Even though I've been whining alot about school I've been alright. Not good, not bad.
I've been getting to see alot of new anime since I recently downloaded BitComet. Ive seen Bleach, Violinist of Hameln, Xenosaga, and Maria-sama ga Miteru. I'm going to be downloading Prince of Tennis soon for a friend who likes it alot (Hey Sara :3) and I'm going to watch it myself.
I've been thinking about college alot, every time I do I get incredibly sick (literally) but its almost constantly on my mind. Which means I'm almost constantly sick but hey, what can you do? >> I want to try and get into the best college I can--but the thing is that not only am I uncertain if that will be very good--but I also want someone to be by my side. I cannot possibly do it alone, I've come to realize I'm disgustingly weak when it comes to movement and honestly believe that its not just a lack of confidence, or shyness that makes me uncertain about venturing to college alone but something very serious. I'd lose it if I had to endure all that work, that loneliness and those strangers all alone.
I feel so weak at this point in time. I don't think I'm going to be doing very well in school and there was a point in time in which I thought about taking S since I thought it'd help me get down to business, have the energy to stay up late to do all my work, be prepared for the next day. Meh. Thanks to a certain Reiko Momochi and some clear thinking I wisely didn't dabble in it since I honestly have very little clue on what its like, except that it's considered a diet drug and I don't need that. I've been getting thinner again, probably because of all the excercise I've been doing in Volleyball. I don't consider it a very strenuous sport but Mr. Phipps makes us work out alot to get us in shape. I've been forced to quit MS so I can get all my work down which honestly isn't that big of a deal but it was something nice to do with Sean and Rae. Because of work I havent really been able to talk much with either of them or do anything at all.
I've got to be getting to sleep now. Tommorow Ill write about Gabbie's birthday party Saturday.
Bye, nice to see you all gain.
