i did not mean for this entry to be this long, i swear.
I'm not really doing anything right now, so I guess I'll write a little bit.
First week of school.. err.. well, the first three days of school + tomorrow. It's been good so far. We kind of just dove in though, I mean it feels like we've been back in for months.
[[[Before I even get to the classes and such, I would just like to say that there are six trillion freshmen and they all come in individual cars. It drives me crazy. When we were freshmen, they sent home a paper over the summer about car pooling, and you could fill it out and they'd match you up with someone near you. Plus, you know, some people figured it out on their own. Common sense stuff. So either they don't send that paper home anymore, or this year's class (and their parents?) are really dumb.
But yeah, the reason it bothers me is that it screwes up the whole intersection! I come straight across it, but the entry is backed up all the way to the street, so I can't go until there's room because if the light changes and I'm in the middle of the intersection, people are either going to get really angry or just run into me. However, if I have to wait and the light does change, all the people behind me who are turning right also get really angry. ]]]
Anyway. Road rant over.
I like my homeroom for the most part this year. Yeah, Schuley wouldn't have been my first pick as a moderator, but at least there are people in it who I'm actually like, really friends with.
JOURNALISM. Ms. Casey is really cool; I've never had her before. In fact I'm the only person in the class that hasn't had her before. But that doesn't say much since there's only eight of us. I thought there would be more of a mixture in terms of who's taking it, but it's just seniors. Which I have no problem with at all. Because, as much as I never thought I'd say this, class of '07 is the only one I like. That sounds really mean. But it's true. I can't help it.
PRE-CALCULUS. I don't mind it. I like math. It was a little weird that we didn't get any Welcome back to school speech; we just jumped right into math. But that's just how Mr. A is I guess. I'd rather not BS anyway, and I think he's a really good teacher, so I don't think I'll have a problem with it. However, the class is really big. But the bright side is I sit in the front row so I don't have to deal with it.
AP LIT. 11 of us. It is SO much more organized that last year. In two ways, actually. First, no offense to Ms. Syal, but Ms. Kenney knows how to handle an AP class. And secondly, it's much more stable than last year's Brit Lit; we actually keep to a schedule and don't waste a lot of time. We've already finished the first play on our agenda; Oedipus the King. It's going to be hard, but I think I'll like it.
LUNCH. I have second lunch. And I hate it. Third lunch is so much better. However, I like the people I sit with, so that makes up for it a bit.
PHOTOGRAPHY. Uhm. The class will be good. The picture-taking will be good. The majority of the people it are just too.. obnoxious. What can ya do, eh?
RELIGION. Sr. Martina is the most off-centered nun I have ever met. I don't mean she's not a good nun; she's just random and funny, and apparently drives like a maniac. And I'll never forget last year when she told us how she and the other nuns have football parties up in the convent and they drink and stuff. Keeping in mind she's like 70-something, I'm guessing.
FINE ARTS. 8 of us. I'm trying to remember why I signed up for this class. I like art, and I want to go into graphic design in college, but everyone else in the class is so much better than me. It's pretty much an honors art class, and I'm like not even good at this stuff. I mean, I guess I've gotten better, but still. Gah. I don't know.
PHYSICS. 12 of us. Well, it has to be better than last year's science, right? I think I'll like it. It just bothers me that they messed up my math so I couldn't be in honors. Actually that goes back to middle school. But that's an entirely different rant. Anyhow. I really liked Chemistry; it was pretty much my favorite subject sophomore year. Not that Physics is a continuation of Chemistry. But I prefer this type of science with like math and stuff over Biology and Anatomy and all that jazz. I hate Biology. And not just because of last year. I've always hated Biology. It just doesn't click with me.
So yeah, that's that. I'm looking forward to the weekend. But it's gonna be hectic. I don't think I'll be able to sleep in much. But oh well. Tomorrow after school Amanda and I are going up to the middle school to see if there's any community service available. Then going back to work bingo. And after that I might be haning out with Ron. Saturday I work from 2-11. I'm telling myself I'm gonna wake up early to practice some SAT math problems, but I'm not holding my breath on that. I like to sleep in. Sunday I work from 11:45-:5:30 and then I'm going out to my grandmother's house and possibly getting a homecoming dress. Even though I really don't want to go to homecoming. Not my thing. But oh well.
Dance started Tuesday too, but I don't really want to talk about that right now. Not because anything extreme happened; I just think this entry is too long as it is.
