Hello everyone! I'm sorry I haven't been updating... first week was pretty exhausting! I've been having to get up at 6am each day, as opposed to the usual 9-10am. Yeah. Huge change.
First day, Tuesday, there weren't any classes, but we got to check out all the clubs and stuff. It was only a half day.
The next day the real classes started, but we didn't actually cover anything, all the teachers just gave the rules of their classes, etc.
Since you're all probably curious, I'll give y'all the low-down on the teaches, yo (ok, I'm in weekend mode right now, please excuse the random bursts of abnormal word choices)
I'll give you the info on the teachers/classes in order of my schedule:
Chemistry, 1st hour: Believe it or not, this is actually my favorite class. My teacher, Mr. Armitage, is the funnest one in the whole day. Get this, to start off first day, he was like "I can teach you how to do... this" and lit his desk on fire. Then he put it out and there was no sign of damage to the desk. "But I'm not allowed to." It was very fun. And at the end of the class he took a huge trash can with a hole cut out in the bottom and a plastic bag-like thing that snaps back when you pull it, and filled the trash can with fog from a fog machine and shot it, making awesome rings of fog shoot out. It was super powerful, he aimed at a stack of papers made them fall over. Then he was like "let's see if I can get it across the room" and he shot it right at my face, and it totally took me by surprise. It was like "WHOOSH!"
Anyway, that was Chem! :-)
History, 2nd hour: History is alright, Mrs. Palmer's room is way too colorful for 2nd hour though. Plus she's really perky. Anyway, there really isn't much to say about this class. We're studying modern American history, from the Industrial Revolution to the present.
Algebra, 3r hour: Again, this class is alright. Mrs. Smith is nice, thank goodness. Bur actually, I don't think I'm going to be doing that badly in this class. Though we didn't do anything math-related on the first day, yesterday we did some math problems. And, though I knowit sounds incredibly nerdy (or homeschooler, take your pick), I actually enjoyed do math again. I do kinda like math that I understand fully....
Anyways, on to
Design, 4th hour: Design is actually in the middle school, on the other side of the parking lot. Which is fine now, but I'm not so hyped about that come winter-time. Anywho, the actual class is pretty fun, but it's more the technical stuff about art, learning names of stuff and things like that. Sometimes I wish that I had taken Dramatics, because I really miss Drama. But, I do like Design, too.
Honors English, 5th hour: Melissa's in this one! It's pretty fun I like it. Have you heard of Split-Hand Disease? It's when a person has unusual hands, such as missing a finger or something. Well, my teacher has a worse case of it than a missing finger, she only has three fingers. AOGG people, remember George Stowe? Her arms are exactly the same as his. I think it's so cool that she can still teach, even with her situation. She's really nice, I like her.
Lunch!!! By 5th hour my stomach is consistently, so Lunch is a beautiful thing. But oh my word, the main food line is sooo long!! And it was like a sauna! I'm so glad I'm not claustrophobic. Melissa and I only used it the first day. The other two days we just bought pizza/a sandwich from one of the smaller lines. They don't have as many choices, but it is a heck of a lot faster.
Health/Freshman Focus, 6th hour: This class is okay. Luckily I have some friends in it. We going to be taught various things about life, don't take drugs, don't procrastinate... etc.... fun stuff. The teacher's okay, too. I'm thinking that if she starts going into a rant, she'll really have a droning voice, though.
Spanish, 7th hour: We've finally reached the 7th hour class, after a weekend of me working on this darned post!! It's pretty fun. The teacher, Mrs. Alzaman (or Almazan, I can't remember) is pretty strict, but actually, once I think about it, she reminds me a lil of Mrs. Scranton. Not how she looks or anything, they look totally opposite, but how they talk and walk and move. Melissa's in this class, too, which is fun. But there's assigned seating so I can't sit by her.
Finally, the bus ride home, and rest.
So, I'm thinking that I'm going to be updating this every weekend, and I'll just write about my whole week. Unless there's something I want to shove in during the week.
I'm also going to try to schedule a specific time period for me to do this, so I won't procrastinate as much *guilty look*
Adios amigos!
