This Heart.

First day of school. The dreaded first day of school has come at last. All the excitment, confusion and curiosity of who will be in my classes and what the teachers will be like and where all my friends will be was absolutely chaotic. Needless to say, I'm glad it's over.
My normal day of school:
Seven in the morning, I arrive in my first class which is English. I love the people in my class so far, and my teacher is super chill, which was a relief for me because I would have hoped he would be seeing as we got there at the crack of dawn.
Around eight I'll have ceramics, a class in which I feel like I'll just be able to create art and let it be. Especially being relieved from stress by spinning or hand building will be a nice break in the morning.
Next around nine I'll have US History. My teacher is one of the cheer coaches and she is an Amador graduate herself. She's super cute and fun and I feel like I'm going to have a great time learning in that class.
Then around ten thirty I have Chemistry with a teacher who I SWEAR is Steve Martin's twin. He's hilariously awesome and I am a minority, being that the number of sophmores just about doubles the juniors, which only makes us more awesome and looked up to in that class. And seeing as the first day was a blast, I can't wait to see what it will be like in a few months.
Around eleven thirty I'll have Computer Science. I have always been good with computers, so I decided to take the course in which I'll be learning to do a bunch of programming and what not in. I'm also just excited because there's no homework in that class which is a MAJOR plus.
After lunch at about one, I'll have AP Psychology. That class seems extremely difficult and the homework load will be just that, but I feel like it will be super interesting and I can't wait until we start to really dive in.
Lastly, at around two, I'll have Honors Pre-Calc. Basically what my teacher said is although the class is difficult, it is basically Pre-Calc with an Honors in front of it so I'm pretty stoked about that. That AND it will help us prepare more for SAT's and what not.

Least to say, I'm pretty surprisingly satisfied. You see, I was REALLY thinking about doing Independent Study this year. I just decided I didn't like the people (which I don't really) and that they always bring me down rather than bring me up and that I couldn't take it anymore.
But I was thinking...why run away from the challenge rather than face it? Seeing as people like the treacherous ones I go to school with are everywhere around us. Why shut myself in and not face the reality? I was really thinking and praying hard about it today and I saw myself as running away from the problem, rather than confronting it.


Well, now I must go pour these feelings out on the guitar.
Until next time...
