The first friday. Jessica took me early today so I would be all caught up in Phyics. I think I'm pretty much all up to date now. I was almost late for first period, and didn't have a chance to get any of my supplies, but it was okay because we just watched a movie and took notes over that. In physics, we took a quiz and started a lab. We took a PSAT quiz in English. In Spanish we finished reviewing Destinos and actually started to watch them. It's boring. And gross. And if you are going to make cheap, sick, spanish movies, it better be as good as Pobre Anna. Becaue Pobre Anna was an AMAZING movie. In video tech, Ms. Shaw checked everyone's broadcast paragraphs and I helped Zane make his really good alligator that he drew on paint to be one of the computer's backgrounds. Everyone should go look. I couldn't believe he drew it. Then I watched people play Sorry and Guess Who. In math, John and I passed notes to each other and then we learned something. I don' t like Ms. Scott. After school, Jessica and I went to go get Composition Notebooks for Physics. They didn't have the kind Jessica wanted, but I got mine. Now I'm at my mom's house.

Elizabeth left for college today!! She left this morning at 5:00 so she would get there in time. In history, we took notes from a power point and during physics my counselor called me down to her office. She switched me into AP Physics, and so I said good bye to Mr. Anthony and went into Mrs. Flickinger's room. It was pretty hectic, a lot goes on in that room. I was pretty overwhelmed at first with all the work I have to do, but I think I am okay now. I saw Mrs. Hewitt today, who is substituting for an English teacher who had a baby. After saying hi to her, Jessica and I went to English where we took A Doll's House Quiz. Spanish was boring, we started review Destinos, which is a spanish soap opera that none of my teachers made me watch. Mr. Kanzler speaks spanish the whole time so it was kind of hard to understand all that he was saying. In video tech, Ms. Shaw checked over my article and then Christin, Brittany, Meredith and I played Sorry. Ms. Scott's class is just annoying. After 6th period, JJ took me home.

At about 5:30 Jessica and Lauren came over, and we worked on math and physics homework. We also watched some news show about the person who admitted to being JonBenet Ramsey's killer.

Mk. Today was the third day of school. All of my classes are going pretty well. I'm trying to think and I just don't think anything that exciting happened. I don't have a seventh period... and that is just amazing. I get home at like 3:20... which is in time to watch all of Oprah. I don't know when the counselors are going to switch me into being an aide with Mr. Benton, but hopefully I can convince him to let me leave early like 2 a week. Haha.

After school Elizabeth took me to Pappasito's for a job interview. I got the job. Woo. It should be pretty easy and fun I think. Afterwards, Elizabeth and I went to get something to eat and then went back home to Mom's House. She leave tomorrow for Baylor and I'm pretty sad. A lot more than I thought I would be.

Later on, I went to Tyler's house to give him colored paper for his binders. Elizabeth gave me her iPod, since she got a new one with her laptop and at Tyler's house he updated my iPod with his songs. It took longer than expected, but it was all good.

History-

We took a diagnostic test on what we learned in 8th grade U.S. History. Luckily, Larry McCalpin was AWESOME and taught me well. I remembered a lot.

Physics-

I decided to switch into AP today. My teacher is weird, he has his pen chained to his desk like someone in a bank. Haha.

English-

I like this class a lot, it feels like we have been there for a while already. I sat behind Morgan Myers today.

Spanish-

I was partners with Brittney Grace. We did a good job on interviewing each other and then introducing each other to the class. She is officially the tiniest healthy looking person ever. Haha. See if you can understand what I meant there.

Lunch-

Morgan sat with us outside today. It was super fun with her.

Video Tech-

Kind of boring today, but I was told it will get better after about 2 weeks. Mrs. Shaw thinks my hair got lighter. Haha, random.

Math-

Well, I felt like I was already behind, but now that I'm home doing my homework I realize I understand what we are doing in class, which is good. I just really miss Ms. Hooper's class and I went and talked to her today about it.

Amazing 7th period-

Well, Mr. Benton was outside with the baseball kids yelling at them. (He is so mean to all of them, but nice to me.) So I just decided to leave. JJ took me home.

After School:

I got home, the power was out for a little bit. I started my homework, my mom came home, and then I went and got scantrons for my extra credit for history. We went to the grocery store, and then came home and ate. Now I'm just chilling doing homework. I'm pretty annoyed that although I have turned the pop-up blocker off, it still won't let me get attachments for my e-mail, or let me pick out what I'm reading and Listening to on xanga. Oh well, maybe I will figure it out later.

Back to xanga!! Intense. Well it was the first day of school today, which is always just exciting. This morning when I was about half-way ready I walked over to Morgan's house to finish getting ready. It was funny walking past Prairie Creek Elem. with the Crosswalk Man and everything... brought back memories from when I lived on 14 Forest Park. At Morgan's house I finished getting ready, and then Morgan and I left to go to the Grocery Store because Morgan needed some gum. There was a nice man who let us cut in front of him in line because we were only getting one thing. Little things like are just so simple, but can make someone's day just a little better. We then drove and picked up Lauren Clark and Rob. It was his first day of highschool so I'm sure that this was an exciting day for him. So here was my school day:

AP U.S. History: It seems like it is going to be a very nice class. Allison Thompson and Morgan are in it; I'm happy I have classes with them. The teacher, Mrs. Martell seems very nice. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that we needed both a three-inch binder as well as a one-inch binder, its just so big. And I'm just a little person. So about half way through the period I noticed that I had left my English Summer Reading at home. Luckily Elizabeth was at home and she brought it up to me! It was nice of her.

Physics: This class is going to be hard for me, I can feel it. Not to mention the teacher is weird. Not that weird, but I definately got a weird vibe. He is the type of person you know you process and think stuff exactly the opposite of. He seemed like he was willing to go out of his way to help you, but I'm think that he just thinks way to mathematically for me to get. Jessica and CHRISTINA are in that class though. I'm thinking about switching into AP Physics though.

AP English: My teacher is Mrs. Gilliam and she seems really nice. I turned in my summer reading (I had just ran down to the front kiosk to get it.) and then we had a nice first day. It seems like it will be a somewhat easy transition from Mrs. Hewitt's class. I guess I'm just now realizing how much I liked Mrs. Hewitt. I'm going to miss her. So for outside reading I decided I'm going to read Age of Innocence, which I already have. I took it from the books we had out at the Treehouse like 3 years ago, thinking I was going to read it, but I just never have.

Spanish: I guess I'm most excited about Spanish. It feels so great to know that I'm going to actually learn something. There is like no one in my class except for Amanda and Joanna (from 9th gr. Span) And I sit at the opposite side of the room from them. But I'm just excited about the class and I can tell the teacher, Mr. Kanzler? is going to be great. It's more of Mrs. Bachman's style teaching, which I like.

Video Tech: I'm in the Mustang Morning News class, which is what I really wanted, although I never really sat down and decided. It seems like it's going be fun as well. I'm just going to have to get to know everyone better.

PreCalcalus: Well, I have Ms. Scott, and most everyone who was in my last class with Mrs. Scott, with the exception of Hayley, Tyler, and Tim. I like the class a lot though, there are tons of fun people in it. I think although the work is going to be hard, the class its' self will be awesome

7th Period: I didn't have a seventh period, so I went and talked to Mr. Benton about being his aide, and then Elizabeth picked me up. It was awesome. I loved it.

When I got home, I ate the leftovers from my dinner with P&G and then called Paulpa and told her about my day. I'm sad she is going back to CB this weekend.
