Hmmmm

I think I'm going mad. I think that I think too much of my abilities. 78 books in 9 months. That's roughly 9 books a month. I mean, that ON TOP of the school bookload.

And I mean come on! FBI? Who was I kidding?? I couldn't do that. Not in a million years, not even.

Last First Day...

Well, today was the first day of my senior year of high school everybody!
UGH!!!
We, surprisingly, made it to school on time. So I got to see some friends before school. Met Mars's little sister Cassandra (spelling??) and saw a bunch of short freshies.
First period, Drawing with Mrs. Naif. She's cool, a little spunky. Possibly one of my favorite classes of the day. Class with Robyn! WOO!! =D We're gonna be painting, drawing and using colored pencils!
Second period, Economics with Mr. Vega. He is so awesome. He's like the lovechild of Jay and Mr. Anderson! But seriously, he's great. And I think he's a great mix of giggly and serious. And this is my second class of the day with Robyn!!
Third period, Trigonometry & PreCalculus with Mrs. Pedersen - YUCK! Possibly my LEAST favorite class... I dislike how she speaks. I don't like her dry humor. She's just ICK. Good thing about this class - Brant. I get to see him. So he just may keep my sane.
Fourth period, AP English Literature with Mrs. Casillas. It's ok. It's upstairs in room 911! That's pretty cool. I was so tired walking up those stairs that I am GLAD that they're building an elevator. That's gonna make life easier and dispel the crowds trying to go upstairs to their respective classes...
Lunch... Had pizza that tasted like nothingness. Talked to people.
Fifth period, AP Statistics with Jay Ramaswamy. This seems good. I love the textbook! It's got a fishie on it!!
Sixth period - open period. Got my ID card punched out to say I have 6th period open. Whatevs. Talked to X. He says we can still be friends. But I don't know. I mean, I would love to. But it's like he's just saying it to quell my emotions. Honestly, I'll have to think on it. Then me and Ju hung out in Jay's room... Pretty awesome.
Afterschool. Had to wait almost an hour in the heat for the stupid ass bus to get here. But now I'm home and happy that I'm not dehydrated anymore.
