Today was my very first day as a high schooler. It lived up to all my expectations. Mind you, my expectations weren't that good.
Because my parents are divorced, I ride two buses. One to my mom's house. One to my dad's house. They fortunately live really close to each other. The bus from my mom's house is pretty good, actually. One of my good friends rides that bus. We got in a little "fight" recently, but we were talking this morning. The bus to my dad's house is lonely. My best friend just moved, and her sister, cousin, and other best friend ride the same bus. It just reminded me that she's so far away.
My first class of the day is Geometry. There are only about five or six ninth graders in the class. It's mostly full of tenth graders, and there are even a few eleventh graders. I know most of the other ninth graders in there, so at least I have some one to talk to sometimes. The teacher seems nice, but it's easy to stop listening to him. I spaced off a few times when he was talking.
My second period class is Advanced English. Today we had to turn in our summer project on the book Animal Farm and take a vocabulary test. I don't think I did very well because I didn't study. But the teacher seems really cool. He pays attention to everyone/talks to everyone.
My third period class is Algebra. I sit next to one of my friends. He's quite annoying, but I'm glad I sit by someone I know. The teacher is okay. The class seems like we're going to do a lot of work in this class. We need an entire 1 1/2 inch binder and a notebook and a textbook.
My fourth period class is probably my least favorite. It's science. Not only do I not really like science, but the teacher is new to the school and disorganized. And to be honest, he seems kind of strange. I don't mean to sound rude, he's just kind of odd.
Lunch was a big reminder on the fact that I am lonely. My best friend just moved 1800 miles away, my other best friend moved a few towns away, and my third best friend and I share no classes or anything. I sat with some acquaintances of mine that went to my middle school. There were a lot of them at the table, and it made me feel out of place because there were actually even more people that wanted to sit there. One of them said that she was sorry that my best friend moved, and that made me even more sad. Afterward, I tried to go get a locker but the line was too long.
My fifth period class (Ancient World History) was the most interesting. I've heard many people describe the teacher as "creepy". I would say he is creepy, though I can see where people get that description. I don't know how to describe him. He's definitely different. He talked and talked and a lot of it didn't really relate to normal first day of school things, but it all seemed to make sense in the end.
My sixth period class is a class to help ninth graders get organized and prepared. To me, it seems like it's a speech class. We have to do a few projects and present them for practice. It's all right, I guess. I don't really like public speaking, though.
So, all in all, my first day of school was just okay. *shrug* I'm not very social or anything.
I hope the rest of you had a better time at school today (especially if today was your first day, too)!
I have a question for you guys. What clubs/activities/sports do you plan on participating in this year at school? So far, I'm planning on joining Key Club, the Youth Advisory Council at my public library (I'm actually going there tonight), and the Book Club.
Winona:
I sat here thinking for a while about any events I might be going to. I couldn't think of any. The Harry Potter Exhibition (which was previously in Chicago, Boston, and Toronto) is coming to Seattle, Washington in October. That's about three hours from my town, so I might go to that.
My life is uninteresting. ):
People always mispronounce my name, too. It's surprises me when people get it correct right away. xD
Sanja:
What is eating up my time right now is homework, school, computer and procrastinating, and, soon, clubs. I plan on starting to write, read, exercise, and sew more, though.
Also, kudos to you for hiking that mountain that many times. That would be difficult for me! *is lazy* That's awesome!
Bridget:
I'm planning on doing NaNoWriMo this year for the first time. I'm kind of nervous, but more excited than anything. I think my dad is going to try, too.
The new Pokemon aren't really the greatest. The only newer one I like is teddiursa.
Jess:
I went to go make a Pokemon trainer, only to realize that I forgot a Pokemon. Silly me.
My favorite Pokemon is Ivysaur, but they didn't have him, so I used Bulbasaur instead. O:
My favorite color happens to be green.
Also, your house sounded busy. I'm sorry. Good to spend time with family, though. :3
