Fresh Start

Fresh starts always make me happy.

Beginings always give me hope.

It's like a fresh new page in the book of life.

Lemme go over an overview of my day =]


So I went to my homeroom, found out good and bad news. The bad news was that i had first lunch.. (which is at like.. 10:30 in the morning!) But the good news was that I had first hour with Elisa, Alex, and Hannah. After that, I went straight to first hour. Where I found out Paige was in my class too! But what's the best thing about all of this.. I met Mr.Cruz. Not only can I tell he will have a profound act on me and some of my class, he will teach me so much I can use in the future. Today we had a class discussion (which I enjoy) which was frightening at first. And throughout the conversation we made a bunch of connections and he proved the point that Language was the form of communication that bound people to create civilization. He also made me realize that that's why I was sitting in the very seat I was sitting.
Second hour came right after that.. which was the lovely 'Health' class. This class had only 26 people in it.. which was cool. Kristen and Maddy had that with me. I pretty much decided that I am going to pass that class with an easy A. I'm going to just do a few sections every night so it will be a mainly blow off class the last 6 weeks of this trimester. The teacher for that class was very intent on explaining to us that her family was very screwed up. This made me sort of sad because I know her daughter has Down Syndrom.. but apparently she LOVES school so maybe she will out-perform others in the same category as her. (Sorry if that sounded rude in any way, I really just want the best for her)
Directly after that I had lunch. Of course by the time I got to the Commans... (where we eat at) I had realized I forgot my lunch. My amazing boyfriend was happy to go run and get it for me.. which made me really happy. But for half the lunch he sat at another table. I guess I shouldn't complain though. He's very good to me. ANYWAY. I found out that Kristen, Allyson, and Brandon had my lunch as well. That was fun.. but I was sort of afraid I left Allyson out. She was quiet for most of the lunch. I really should as her if something bothered her... hmm gotta do that soon.
After lunch I had 3rd hour. This was with my teacher Mr.Clements. I know him from when he taught at the middle school and served as vice principal. (I had heard good things so I was glad I got in his class) The only person I am really friends with in that class is Mitch.. but I guess it doesn't matter because we have assigned seats and he sits across the room.. so whatever I guess. As it turns out.. I got stuck with the sped class. And upon sitting in that room.. I realized that some of these kids REALLY shouldn't be in special ed. They are perfectly fine.. but they've been taught that they should accept help and not even try on their own. This saddens me.. because they had so much potential before they were pretty much told that they could have help whenever they needed it. I would be the EXACT same way if I had been put in special ed... but my parents knew better and told me to rough it and learn the hard way... which is exactly what I did.. and now look where I am! But.. Idk. Just pisses me off.
Okay so after that was my algebra II class with Mrs.Azeez. Now I'd gotten mixed comments about her. The majority said she was a horrible teacher and that she was a bitch and what not.. but I found this to not be the case. She seems like a very respectable and genuine person. She's most definetely one of my favorite teachers for now. She made me understand something I know for a fact I wouldn't of understood before. The only problem is that I don't have many friends in that class except Alec... but that's about it.
Chorus was after that.. and chorus is like always. So nothing new there. But I chose my two solo and ensemble songs. I'm hoping to get a 1 again for that =] I got a 2 last year and a 1 the year after that.. but now that I'm high school level I'll have to work harder.... oooh i hope I do good =]

So I guess that's about it details wise. I'm excited for tomarrow. This is for a few reasons:
1. If i'm optimistic for school.. I'll be in a better mood!
2. If I try and do better.. I'll do MUCH better for sure.
3. And the main reason for that is that I'm getting a's and b's as it is.. without trying
4. So i know for a fact I can pull of all A's if I actually put some effort forth.

So bye I guess! Fashion Icon for next blog... Idk if I'm gonna continue that. The entire fashion phase is over for me I think.. And I'm moving back into the poetry scene. OH YEAH! I submitted a poem for Teen Ink. I'm excited to get the letter back for that =P

Okay.. bye for real
