I'm trying to see the glass half-full... at least I think I'm making progress
Oh pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaassse let Franklin open soon!!! This is so hard... especially with the perpetually nagging reminder that I would have graduated last year. Why does high school take so long? Sheesh.. There is talk at McKinley of finding ways to graduate in one semester. I wonder if they'd be able to pull that off? It's mostly a matter of finishing English IV and Civics/Free Enterprise. But I wonder how likely my admission into a good college (like, oh say, Cornell) would be if I didn't have a fourth year of math or science... dang.
Every day feels soooooo slow. I'm in two calculus classes because at McKinley, you HAVE to take AB before you take BC (yes, it seems they're forced to take calculus twice.. or not take BC). But instead of making us take AB, we're allowed to do what we want, and I decided to go in both until I figure it out. It's working out well though, I actually like Calculus class because the teacher is nice and easy to understand, and since I'm busy trying to keep up, it keeps my mind from dangerous "wandering"... (aka nostalgia) But on the other hand, my Chemistry AP class makes me want to cry. It's so... average, boring, uninspiring... I guess I was spoiled even after only seven days of Ms. Ekberg. I miss her SOO much. But I still have hope of taking her class later *____* So, my Civics class is okay since it's pretty easy.. and Glenn is in it with me!! Yes, Glenn my awesome fellow Franklin flutie.. whoa, lots of f's there. heh.. but we still don't have teachers for physics or english, so for now, it's just a bunch of New Orleans displaced students sitting in a room doing not much.. oh well.
I don't think I even want to talk about the pitiful class they (for some reason) call "symphonic band". And I don't really want to join marching band or jazz band... hmm. I guess it doesn't matter one way or the other until I get my flute though, since they don't have one for me to play. I think I'll have it soon though ^__^!! yay!
So.. I really hope this entry hasn't been too annoyingly whiny, I promise I'm trying to look on the bright side. I don't think I've cried in days, so I'm getting better. It REALLY helps to have Allie there with me.. so that it's not so bad dragging myself out of bed to get to not-my school at SEVEN AM. crazy... an hour earlier than usual. though that's sort of the least of my problems with it.
At least McKinley made room for us............ (glare at Baton Rouge High).. heh.. oh well. Guess you can only handle a certain number of students.
I still really want to just graduate ASAP (December?) and go to college... yet I can't give up hope on Franklin. I want to finish high school there SOOOOO badly... I, my parents, and the Franklin administration have invested too much time, too much trouble, too much dedication in my education there to just quit now. Graduating elsewhere or skipping ahead to college would leave me with a sense of incompletion that I don't want to have to regret.
Come on, Ms. Christen!__! I know they can do it. This is one of those times I'm REALLY glad we have an assertive administration. Get us set up as a UNO charter school, or whatever they're working on.. anything! I've heard that the school itself is quite structurally sound, and I think this can work. It pains me to think of each day wasted at a school that can just educate me... but at least I can hope that I'm always one day closer to the school I love that can do so much more O__O
