Congratulations, blogettes who went back to school today, we survived! It only gets better and harder from here, but at our school, we get all of our required classes in before lunch, and after lunch it is basically a fun afternoon because we got to pick what we did for sixth and seventh periods, after a period of just plain reading, which I am hopefully going to use as a bible study. After lunch we basically have a 30 minute free time to spend anywhere where there is someone watching the area doing what we want to do. I love that because I want some chill time at school. I hate being on the go 24/7 because kids shouldn't be like that, whether or not we are in secondary school now doesn't matter we still need that time. That time is also used for learning labs if kids need extra help on things.
Learning labs can either be required or if you want to pop in. I think I might pop in every now and then because I really want to make sure I have things down because my parents have been out of school for at least thirty years now or at the least twenty five. I love my schedule, and I love that most of the teachers are laid back. I think that this is going to be a good year, and the schedule seems less confusing. I also have my locker all organized and ready to rock when we start real school tomorrow. The new math teacher is into the same things that I am into, so I think I am going to become really close with her, and she is going to be my favorite teacher this year.
So far, my favorite room would have to be the art room, or the band room with the new carpetings, and cubbies redone or so it seems. I love the art room because it has paintings on the ceilings, and has a distinct smell that is actually good. I also love it because the only thing that we need to bring is our sketch book. Everything else is provided for us. I love the teacher, I have had her before, and then we got the elementary teacher who I liked last year. The art teachers before her were kind of bad and treated me differently than they did the rest of the class.
Cross country starts tomorrow and we share it with another school that is two or three miles away. I also like it because it is seventh and eighth grade together and it is boys and girls combined. We will get bused over there, and maybe bused back. We change there, and I am hoping that there is someplace where I can wash off the sweat before I put on my street clothes again because I hate having pit stains or smelling like sweat. I don't mind sweating it's just the after effects that I mind.
Lunch is different, but I like it. Our new dean of students is cool, even though he is a dude. I think I'll like him, after a little bit. I am still unsure of all these new people because I don't know their backgrounds, and I am afraid that I will say something that upsets them, and then I will feel bad about it every time that I see that person. I have hit it off with the math teacher though, which is good. If we have to borrow an object from her, we have to leave a shoe because she hopes that will remind us to return the object. She said that lots of kids just walk off with the object, but she said that if we leave class without a shoe, then we will think that something is missing, and return the object and redeem our shoe.
This afternoon, cross country people just chilled out in a room looking out onto the courtyard with a big picture window. It was just lovely. I got my locker organized and stuff labeled so I know what journal is for what class and what color I have for every class. Here are my colors in order of my classes.
Social Studies-Orange
Language Arts-Red(2 sets, 1 for Reading, 1 for English)
Math-Teal
Science-Black
In the afternoon, they offered three classes as well, but I opted not to take them this class instead of doing things that I was interested in, and knew about already. I mean, this afternoon schedule is only for quarter one. We pick again in quarter two. This way, I have time to think about it some more. Band starts on Friday. This school year is going to be great. Now if only locker drama would resolve. We're working on that though, and I am sure that by the end of this month that it won't be a problem at all. First days are kind of nerve racking and confusing, but this one wasn't as bad.
