(no subject)
Today was the first real day of school.
(note that this post starts off the exact same way that everybody else in my friend's list does. creative lyk whoa.)
My thoughts? I'm still not sure, to be honest. I'm feeling sortve... un-feeling about the entire thing. I finally got my timetable switched, which was nice, but now I don't have any classes with Eric, which isn't. I don't have a lot of classes with a lot of people, it seems...
As far as classes go, I have Spare, AP English, Drama and Politics. AP English, I'll have to reserve judgment for: Isaac seems nice enough, but she's very bland. Maybe I'm just used to Mr. Hodgeson, but to be a good English teacher, you need a sort of ... pazazz. You need to keep the attention going, you need to make us interested. Thats why Mr. H and Mr. Peters were so popular - they were interesting. plus, she likes The Handmaid's Tale. Definite low blow in my books...
I have Ms. K for Drama, which is awesome, of course. Except that I started getting cramps and feeling really sick in class, which made the entire experience MUCH less enjoyable. I've heard such great stuff about her, I don't honestly think she'll live up to her repuation. But we'll see. I'm sure it'll be great.
And Mr. Turner... I was very impressed by him. I think that'll be one of my faovurite classes. It's a bitch of a workload, but it'll be worth it, listening to him talk. I love listening to him talk... Matt Topic is in the class... which isn't a good thing, as far as I'm concerned. but Alex DT is, and so is Josh (until he drops it, at least). So when he lets us change seats, it'll be a good time.
Final reflections: I dunno. I'm feeling sort've... weird aobut the entire thing. It's as if it's not be experiencing these things, but a different me. Someone who isn't i nthe moment, as it were. *sigh* it'll get better... right?
On the plus side - first Students' Council meeting of the year - and assemblies is, by far, the most kickass committee. Justsosyaknow. That was the most in-tune with the present I felt all day: I felt in the zone, like a grade 12 should be.
I think it's the grade 12 part of this entire thing that I can't quite grasp. It's the goal that you're striving for your entire life... and when it finally happens, you don't know what to do about it. It'll hit me eventually, and the nthings will settle down and it'll be good. It has it be.
In other news, I only worked 2 and a half hours today. The restaurant was slow, and i felt shitty, so James let me head home early. Which was very welcome, as I felt like shit rolled over by an 18-wheeler. And then, at around 9 or so, Esti, the Spanish student staying with us came!! and she brought me a REALLY nice sweatshirt from Bershka, a really nice European store. She's soooooo nice, and I cna't wait to get closer to her over the next two months. very, very excited.
I'm going to go brush my teeth and then go to sleep. I'm exhausted.
