School's started. It's brought a wealth of emotions with it-- happy, because I'll see my friends and I've got some fun classes, some interesting classes, and some that I hope will be both. Sad, because summer's over. I'll have to wake up at 6:20-6:30 every day, which will REALLY suck. I'm so not a morning person. Nervous because of all those little high school things, like where to sit at lunch and does soandso like me and all those other annoying things that I shouldn't worry about but do anyway. Scared because I'm going to be taking three freaking AP tests in May and I'm a SOPHOMORE. Excited for the very same reason. I'm looking forward to the challenge, crazy as that might seem beside my shrieks of "I'm going to DIE!!!" I suppose the easiest way to explain my day is to go class by class. I start off in French II. There aren't a whole lot of really cool people in there, because most of the people I like are taking AP World History and World Humanities (the English class that goes with it), and so can't fit in French II. Most of my French I buddies are skipping straight to French III, leaving me with no one to talk to. Hannah's in there though, because she has an Independent Study. She's actually in something like AP French V, but because she has some ridiculous schedule kind of like mine, she has to have an independent study instead. I don't know why she opted to be in my class, but it's cool that she did. After French, I go to Science Fiction/Fantasy, taught by the teacher that has to be my favorite teacher at my school. And, I LOVE the subject. That makes me happy. However, there weren't as many cool people in the class as I was expecting. That makes me sad. However, (again! Geez! I'm going to go bipolar!) Anna's in my class, and that makes me happy. And I like my seat. It's got a nice view...*wink wink*. After second hour, I DON'T go to lunch, which is horrid. Last year, my lunch was at 10:15, and right after second hour. That might sound crazy, but it was great for me. It basically meant that I didn't need to eat breakfast, since my lunch WAS basically breakfast. No breakfast meant 10 more min of sleep, which is ALWAYS a good thing. Also, I was planning on walking to lunch with Anna after second hour. B lunch sucks. Anyway, after Sci Fi/Fantasy, I go to band. Ah, band. What is there to say about that? I think I'll already blogged extensively enough about it. The thing about band is that it doesn't really change when school is in or when it's out. After band I did go to lunch. I ate lunch. On to the next class, eh? The next class was AP World History. So many of my friends are in that class! It rocks! (and you know you're a geek when you have the most friends in band and your AP classes) Although I think it will be difficult, I enjoy a challenge. And I'm hoping this is the year that people won't lie to me. Since about fifth grade, my teachers have told me how impossibly hard the next year is going to be, but they've always been lying. I'm really looking forward to struggling in a class I actually enjoy. I know, another statement that sounds crazy, but the ONLY class I've EVER struggled in has been math, and I don't particularly like math. I think it will be great to have to work in History and English. Speaking of that, ATYP doesn't start for about two weeks, but I'm looking forward to it when it starts. Even though it's going to make my life scheduling hell -- YOU try leaving school nearly half an hour early twice a week, driving for 45 min, having two straight hours of AP class, and then driving home. On Tuesdays I'll have to go straight to band after class. I'll hopefully be able to grab something to eat, but that's it. Then I'll get home from band at NINE FRICKING THIRTY. Did Ms.M not get the memo? I wake up at about 6:30. To get nine hours of sleep, my preferred amount, I need to go to BED at 9:30. And after I get home, I'll need to do all my homework. As I said above, I'm going to die. But I'll deal. And my fifth hour class should be cool, too. I think I'll be sad to leave it early. It's PAL, or Peer Assisted Listeners. Basically, it's teaching us how to be mini-counselors. We get trained in issues and dealing with them, and how to be a good listener, and that kind of stuff, and then next tri we get to go out and help at either the middle school, the high school, or one of the elementary schools. I'm looking forward to that more than the other part of the class. *Phew*. I think that's it. Yup, that was my first day of school!
