First Day of High School

I left with one feeling, and came back with another.

My sister and I left very early in the morning, while the sun was coming up, to wait for the bus to school. Quite excited I was, as well as nervous. But later on in the day, when it felt like it had been a week since I arrived there, I wasn't all that excited anymore. I noticed that it was all so quick. I didn't know what books to bring to which classes, and we are not allowed to take our book bag inside the class. You would have to put the bag into the locker and take which book you'd need. Since I didn't know, I carried stuff to classes that I didn't use, because, I guess I didn't need them. And when I decided not to carry books and such to the class since it seemed I wouldn't need them, I did need them. I didn't understand a lot of the things, because they just didn't explain it well.

Aside from all that, they were all so fast. You weren't allowed to use the restroom while everyone was in their classes. Once the bell rang, you could-- but as soon as you get there, it rings again, idicating that it is time to go to the next class. And as forgetful as I am, I couldn't get my locker open fast enough either. I felt like I was bound to explode. I even missed lunch, because I was busy with the locker and I was lost as well.

The school has great teachers, but it doesn't have a good system. Their obvious motto seems to be, "We treat you like an adult" because they say it so often. I really dislike this though, I don't really want to be treated like an adult! People often say that they wish they were in their teenage years. And to enjoy being a kid while you still can. But pushing this, "getting you ready for college"' just doesn't seem right. My mom says college is way more relaxed, that it's like a vacation compared to high school.

The school has too many rules, and if you break one you get detention. It's all so-- fast and crowded. Too quick for my own mind. I really don't look forward to going tomorrow, or ever again, really. I'd rather be around my annoying little sisters, reading my sister's big math book(I hate math), and do that homeschool thing on the computer everyday, then go back to that high school.

At the high school I met this girl, I don't know her name or anything, but she was homeschooled too. She said she was crying a lot of the time, because of how the school was. You get detention for almost everything. And a lot of the important reasons I have forgotten. Which means I'm supposed to do something or I'll get detention-- but I forgot what I was supposed to do!

Just writing about the school upsets me. It is a big step if you didn't go to the town's elementary and middle school before going to the town's high school.

"In God we Trust"

Again, I couldn't think of a name to call the title, then I noticed a nickel next to the keyboard, so yeah.

Anyway, we went to the school's open house today. Met the teachers and such. It seems cool. Had to get our pictures taken for our school ID. Oh-- and I got the first locker on the left, down stairs. xD So that's easy to remember. =D Still will get lost and stuff, of course. Because of all the forgetting. But I'll write things down and such. I think I should start writing on my arm or something. xD That way I'll remember easier. =[]

After that we went to Arbys. It wasn't all that great because I got food stuck in my throat or whatever, between my nose and mouth. I hate it when that happens, but it seems to be better now. xD Pretty dumb, huh? One time I was eating nerds upside down on my sister's other bed, at our old house. And a nerd got stuck. It felt like it was in my nose. xP It never came out, but it felt better after a long while. It was just sugar and such, so-- it probably just melted or something. xD So yeah! That was stupid, too. Oh, that reminds me that sometimes when I'm eating or drinking, liquid stuff comes out of my ear. =O Weird. xP

Anyway! --One thing I think is pretty cool about school is that I get to read whatever book I want in one of the classes. ^^ So I can take one of my Charlie Bone books! Oh-- and in a message board I go to now and then, a person who e-mailed the writer said that she, Jenny Nimmo, is going to post there if she can find the site. Isn't that cool? She e-mailed the person telling him that she is going to write 5 more Children of the Red King(Charlie Bone) books. The next one we thought would be the last, but I guess she decided to keep going. ^^ So-- she is going to write 3 more of the books, and then one about the ten children of the Red King, and the a book about Uncle Paton's childhood. Yay! Paton is one of my favorite characters.
