Start: 7:38 PM CST
Hiya guys! Today was my first day of high school. WHEEP. *laughs* It was fun, really. (Actually, I think school's always fun the first day. *nods*)
Well, let's start off. The bell...rang around...5:25 AM?? Well, I was too tired, so I set in five more minutes... Still wasn't enough, but I got out. XP
Anyways, I got ready, but I was afraid I wasn't gonna make it in time. Luckily, my dad drove me.
At first, I thought I missed the bus! XP (No one was there.) I asked some students (juniors, seniors) by the bus stop, but they knew nothing about it... I saw a bunch of girls park their cars and head into the building... (Not my school. This is where we're supposed to wait to get to our school.) Anyways, a black girl came, and we went on the bus together! (YAY! ^^!)
Luckily, I had the same bus as Vy. As usual, she called me an "idiot".
I sat with Mohammad and his friend. (Three to a seat--me on the edge--I kept falling out!) But the bus ride was SO LONG! Do you know what it's like to sit on the edge of a bus seat and to lock your legs together...for 1-2 HOURS?! (GAH, the PAIN!)
I also found out Charlie, Anita, Madiha, Nohemi, and Danny go on my bus. (Yay!)
So when we FINALLY got there, it was SO CROWDED. I scrambled around with Danny to find what room we were supposed to go to. (We sat down, but Danny went to go put his stuff up in the Band Room.) I met up with Chi and Na Nhi! Hehe, Vy and Chi kept laughing at me because I was lost... ^^;; (Actually, not lost, just sitting down and waiting for people. XP)
So when the bell rang, I headed towards the gym, where a large herd of 11th and 12th graders left the gym. The coaches said if we didn't have a schedule (we were supposed to pick it up last Thursday--along with our textbooks, agenda/planner, and student ID), go to the library. So I walked there...
So when I passed there, I saw this Asian boy...he looked SO FAMILIAR, yet I couldn't tell who he was...
(A few seconds later, it snapped into my head--KAI! It was KAI! I didn't even RECOGNIZE him. He changed...a LOT. Well, his hair's down, not spiky anymore...and I think his face cleared up... ^^;;) But I was too busy to talk to him. Headed towards the library.
Guess what the library did? Send me back to the gym. (OY. I was confused, so I just stayed there.) The coaches handed out papers for us to sign and give to our parents. (First day always does this, grr.)
Well, I had a nice, long chat with this 11th grader I met. His name's Travis (same as mines! *laughs*) and we just had talks about computer (he's also in computer academy) and etc.
OH! I noticed the boy in front of us was trying to be "trendy", in an "emo" kind of way. (He wore his shirt backwards, he had all these rings, bracelet thingys, wore lots of black--his shirt had crossbones and some "blood"-looking color... Thing was--he was a freshman. *laughs* It's weird how these kids act like something they're not just to make friends. Just be yourself! Hey, I already met Travis just by being ourselves, and we have a common interest of computers and HTML designing. XPXP)
So after that, we parted ways, and I met up with Danny. Of course, Chi interrupted, so I talked with her. She told me not to take the main staircases, but to take the ones hidden in the corners of the school. (Too bad we're not allowed to go through them. SHOOT. Maybe they won't care... *looks around suspiciously*)
Well, next was Digital Graphics and Animation. There was a girl (Geraldine?) who was mute, so she had an assistant sit with her and translate through sign language. (I was sitting by them and I found what they were fascinating. *bursts out laughing* Normal things fascinate me, okay???XP) I also met two 11th graders, Andy (Chinese), and another Filipino girl (name too hard...)... At first, I mistakened the girl for a 9th grade. (Weird thing is, all the classes I have--everyone's mixed with each other. 9th, 10th, and 11... @_@!!!) They were eating crackers during class, and I don't know, but in my head, I kept laughing because the guy kept eating the crackers and saying, "MAN, this is SOO GOOD." (They're those salty, normal crackers, usually eaten with soup. ^^;;) He said that we were allowed to get on the computer... o_O;; (Kenny.) But we weren't... (Ah well.) The teacher was nice. Some students complained he talked a bit, but he was just going over rules... ^^;;
Next was...English! Nice lady (she had the Shrek sountrack on--and the girl behind me, Moria, kept singing along with it. I also met her and Ema--they like a bunch of songs, especially heavy metal... Well, just Moria. Ema likes techno. ^^) Well, we ate lunch in between class (we split) and all throughout lunch, I kept looking for everyone. I found all my old HBMS friends, Mohammad, John (he has studs in his ears now! XP), Maggie, Angelie--
BUT I FOUND SOMETHING WEIRD. Julio and Christian were there! (Last year, they were kicked out of Hightower and stuff because they brought beer on the last day of school and were caught with it.) Yet SOMEHOW, they were there! (Apparently, their "punishment" didn't go in right or whatever.)
Oh...I found out. ALL MY FRIENDS ARE IN A LUNCH!!! (I'm in B lunch!!! NOO!!! *cries*) Aaron, Vy, Chi, Na Nhi, Kai, Janice, Kathy... They're all in A LUNCH!!! *screams*
And the thing is, I don't wanna change my schedule!!! (I've gotten attached to the people in my other classes...VERY EASILY. XP)
The line was long... I didn't know what to eat. I kept looking out for an eye for my friends, but it was ALL IN VAIN...
In one of the lunch lines, I heard 4 black (seniors? Juniors?) talk about selling weed to freshman... (o_O;; Um...why?)
Well, back to English, we did some more work, and left.
Um, what was next...?
Uhh...right! Geometry! The teacher's very nice. We all introduced ourselves, told the class what we did over the summer, etc. But she won't be here for two weeks. She just had a child, and she's having a special 2-week off thing to take care of her child. (At the end, her mom came to visit. XP)
Well, the bell rang (I have 8 classes, but it's block schedules), and we all left. Danny had to go to Band practice (OH MY GOSH! ON THE FIRST DAY?!), and I found Anita, and we wandered the bus area to find our bus. I found out Aaron also rode our bus, and was sitting by Vy.
I found out he had the same pick-up area as me, but guess what? He convinced EVERYONE that the bus stop was at te BACK OF THE SCHOOL. (THERE IS NO WAY THAT CAN BE POSSIBLE--there's a bayou behind the school...) YET EVERYONE BELIEVED HIM AND WAITED OUT THERE. No WONDER I didn't see him in the morning... ^^;;
Ahh...the kid who I was sitting next to talked about him and his dad going working...somewhere and making money in the summer. (I didn't bother talking to him though--I was too excited talking to Aaron and Vy--I hadn't seen them the WHOLE DAY.)
I don't get to see ANY of my friends the whole day. Just during switching classes.
So we just talked on the bus... About computers, killing Vy (SHH! Don't tell ANYONE!)--only that if we threw her off the bus, she'd make a MESS.
The bus driver is a bit...unsensitive...but I guess that's okay. (No one talks to her, so yah.)
Oh yeah! You know there are some seniors/juniors that ride their cars to the bus stop, and ride the bus all the way to school? (I said it earlier--it takes about 1-2 hours to get to my school from that stop...) So those students didn't want to spend gas (EXPENSIVE!), so they ride the bus... XPXP
Most of the people there don't even KNOW where HBMS is... Most of them are Lake Olympia students, ya see.
Well, I had to WALK HOME from that stop! I was SOO TIRED...and DRY. I kept repeating, "I WANT WATER!" in my head... @_@;;
I did get home, turned on the fan, and drank grape juice... XPXP
And I've been sorting some paperwork for me mum, and talking online. Diana and my mom are doing extra school supply shopping right now.
I'll talk to you guys later! Sorry for posting so long! (It was a nice day!!!)
P.S. "It's funny how some students think that, when you go into high school, your life magically changes into a magical world!"
I said that to my friend Danny. (Of course, I don't do it, but it was so funny seeing freshman trying to act all cool--wearing these WEIRD clothes you might only see on TV--and all that. ^^;;) They tend to be the shyer kids, I think. Poor them. I tried talking to some to make them feel better, but they wouldn't talk back... *sigh*
OH! There's a guy from Louisiana in my English class, and he evacuated from Hurricane Katrina a year or so ago. I was also telling a bit about what I had to go through (mostly my friends) had to go through during Hurricane Rita.
Hurricane Katrina victims get more "fame" than Hurricane Rita victims... Weird, neh? Rita did more damage, but Katrina destroyed the levee in N.O., which caused the city to flood...
So Rita did more wind damage (my friend's house was TORN TO BITS FROM RITA! Healea, if you guys can't remember.), while Katrina did more water damage. Or something like that.
Anyways, about that boy in my class, I think I saw him on TV once. On one of those Hurricane Katrina things, where they interviewed the people. o_O;; Hmm... Or maybe it was the news. ^^;;
Also, Trangie's been treating me differently. I'm sad...
Talk to you later! Bye!
