School, Meh

School starting today was okay. The only class that I will potentially be despising is Forensics and that's because the teacher already really annoys me. She's one of the, oh it's the first day of class, let's all go around and introduce ourselves type of teacher. I also had three teachers stress about how demanding the work load is. They teach a forty minute class every day and then think that one hour of homework for their class is acceptable. There are eight periods a day and if I took an actual class every period I would have eight hours of homework to do a night! Thank goodness I don't though. I have first period free everyday so I get to sleep in! It's such a blessing. It allows me to stay up late, which I would normally do anyway and not be tired when I go to school!

I also went back and visited the teachers from last year that I really liked. They were happy to sit there and talk, and while I was wasting time during my first period free today, we had to go in on time for an assembly and a small meeting, one of my favorite teachers ever waved really enthusiastically as I walked down the hall. It made me pretty happy.

I had major printer problems today. It was awful. I needed to print out a graphic organizer for APUSH that's due tomorrow and we haven't used our printer in ages. We ran out of ink and never got new ones so my mom had to stop by Staples on her way home from work and purchase that. Then we were trying to set up the printer and the cord that connected from the printer to the wall was nowhere to be found! We checked in the bag with a lot of miscellaneous cords, we checked in my mom's closet (where our printer was hibernating), and we finally found it behind our towel holder which was in front of the plug area where it used to be plugged in.

After that fiasco, we couldn't find any paper. My mom had brought home some paper in a folder, which she then brought back to work and left there. So we were unable to find any of that until we found a sketchy yellow envelope like thing containing loads of paper in the closet with the printer. After that my computer was just being mean and not responding a lot, but I got my freaking graphic organizer to print, and it looks beautiful and I am happy.

My friend procrastinated all of her APUSH work and this afternoon I furiously scrambled to help her work with it and I edited her essay (I actually only wound up reading it because it turned out to be a pretty good essay and I couldn't think of ways to make it better.)

I spent an hour and thirty one minutes watching Revenge of the Nerds and it was time well spent. I could have been working on the godawful essay that I have to do this weekend, but nope. I watch a movie from the eighties. It was a really entertaining movie. Time well spent.

I kind of can't wait to go to school tomorrow because it's nice seeing my friends again and being able to interact with adults that will actually listen to what I have to say. The work load is also virtually non-existent right now so I am in the loving school mode!

The rest of my day was a nonevent so there's nothing really to talk about there.

This morning I got to actually eat breakfast! I drank tea and watched Degrassi while I waited for Freshman orientation to be over with at twelve. I'm friends with a lot of Freshman so it's awesome having them at my school and actually being able to see them everyday rather than just seeing them on Friday's when I volunteer at an after school program in the middle school.

Oh, I'm also trying to convince my parents to sign me up for Driver's Ed, but it is ridiculously expensive. I really hope that they can say yes so that I can actually learn how to drive. It would really suck if I wasn't able to do it. I just wish that I had the money to pay for it. Oh well.
