Summer is over.
Discount shopping every other weekend.
Various specials from clothes to furniture to new TVs.
Upgrades in technology (both calculators and laptops)
This can only mean one thing.
Back to school.
So, day one is out of the way! Huzzah! The first chunk of the never-ending nightmare is being chipped away at!
My day:
6:00 ~ Wake up
6:45 ~ At school. Class Zero: Anatomy and Physiology. Looks like it’ll be easy enough, unless Mrs. D’s prediciton comes true and I don’t call who I’m supposed to in our “class for today is cancled, so sleep in!” calling chain. (she made fun of me 10 minutes into class on the first day of my senior year. Glad to know I’m still loved…..)
8:00 ~ Homeroom (nothing new, other than the rearrangement of our homerooms bumped me into a different homeroom with all the “Harringtons”, but added several others that I know)
9:10ish ~ AP Calculus. Found out that Mr. Duncan is an Eagle Scout. That’s just cool. (as is the 12 person class!) For those who SHOULD be in AP-Calc and aren’t (you know who you are…), Mr. Duncan was complaining about who wasn’t in there. (the only names he gave were Matt Hill and Kyndal Payne, but I suspect there may be a few more…)
Whenever 2nd period started ~ AP English was fun, but it kinda wasn’t, because I read Heart of Darkness twice, and was on my third run through it, when we were supposed to finish it before class today, and I still didn’t know what was going on…. So, we started a quiz, and I answered #1, and kinda answered #2 (pretty good for first day of school answer, but BAD for an AP English answer), and didn’t have ANY idea on #3. So that wasn’t cool.
Whenever 3rd period started ~ Chorus was fun. Sorta. Singing again is great. The fact that Madrigal Choir is “Seniors only” with “a few” Juniors “at most” and over half the class are Juniors, with a few Sophomores, and I know less than 1/3 of the class, I have a problem. I would rather be in Chamber choir, JUST because I know more people in there. How can I sing and have fun with my friends if hardly ANY OF THEM ARE IN THERE????? (rant over, Mad Choir should be LOTS of fun when I get to know people)
11:12 ~ 4th Lunch (I refuse to call it Lunch D, that’s just retarded) Lunch was okay. I think I won’t have a problem finding somewhere to sit (not like that year it was JUST me and Josh in lunch, with no one else we really knew, that sucked) Lines were too long, but once we get our “go to lunch 5 minutes early” cards, life will be good. Maybe the Freshman won’t be allowed to eat so lines are shorter. (I can only pray)
After Lunch ~ AP Biology. Good, small class. Looks like LOTS of fun. (split-class stuff for “spead review” type stuff, ice cream parties for baby cougars, more “applied” versions of my Anatomy/Physiology stuff, cool people IN the class, looks like lots of fun ahead!)
But now, I’m tired.
I started this review shortly after school ended, and due to phone calls (it rang off the hook from 3:30 to 5:00) then Randy came over (5:00 to 8:00), then supper (run to KFC at 8:30), so I’m just now finishing. And my wrist hurts. Damn you, bad keyboarding posture!!!!
Well, starting Monday, it’s full time, back to the madness…..
