Um, yea, I know I meant to update about something else, but yea, school.
Well, I mean, the first day of school was like, uber suckage, but it's gotten a lot better. I have somebody in all my classes except Chem. Lunch sort of sucks, but like, not too bad. I don't have any particularly exciting teachers, but I don't hate any of them yet. But yea, whatever, here's my schedule.
Latin-Cool people, slightly annoying teacher, but it's the only class I have with my best friend, so probably one of my better classes.
Band-I mean, it's the same as always. Slightly better since it's not first period this year.
English-I hope/think I actually have a good English teacher this year.
Math-Yea, trig this year. I'm one of two sophomores in the class, but fortunately, I'm pretty good friends with the other.
Western Civ-Really weird/stupid teacher, not great people, pretty boring class in general.
Lunch-I mean, it's good one out of eight days when Jeff and Meredith are in it. Other than that, it's me and Joe.
Chem-This class just sucks. Really easy teacher who really doesn't teach, and nobody who I can even have a conversation with.
Health/Swimming-Health is the dumbest class ever, but it's got good people in it. Swimming is like, the best thing ever.
So yea, that's my day. Now, this year, I've decided to/my mom made me do more extracurricular things. Now, generally what this means is that I'm just spending all my time at the pool. For fall, I have swimming preseason and I'm teaching swimming lessons, and then of course, I'll have swimming all winter long. I might work at the pool in the Spring. So yea. And I might be joining this teamish thing at the pool too, so yea. In addition to that, I joined Pep Band and the Merionite, which is our school's paper. Now, Pep Band is cool since we do nothing (more on that later), but I've realized that I'm a total moron for joining the paper. I mean, I'm not really a very good writer, and I'm one of the biggest procrastinators ever, which doesn't help. Even worse though, I signed up to write an editorial, which was just stupid. I'm like the least creative person ever, so I don't see how I'm going to be able to think of anything. I'm hoping I can just like, get out of writing for this month's issue and do something that involves less thinking next month. But yea.
Anyway, Pep Band. My school doesn't have a marching band because nobody cares enough, so instead, we have the Pep Band, and we're basically a joke. Like, our main objective at every game is to annoy the hell out of everybody at the football games. We don't really have uniforms, and we don't march, so everybody hates us. But I mean, the football team is so bad it doesn't matter. The first game, they lost 28-0. I think our offense gained about -50 yards. Now, that's just a guess, but I'd say it's pretty accurate. Anyway, we didn't go to their first game though, which they lost 40-6. Now, the worst thing about getting blown out like that is that neither of those teams were that great. In fact, the team they lost 28-0 to was supposed to be terrible. So today, we played a pretty good team. Not the best, but they were better than either of the other teams. Yea, well, the score was 40-0 at halftime. The other team scored every time they had the ball until the 4th quarter, when they stopped caring. The final score was 54-0, which was a bit disappointing. I was hoping they'd reach the 80s, but whatever. Anyway, it's hilarious to watch the fooball team suck. It'll be really funny when they face one of the best teams.
So yea. That's pretty much all.
