Ahh...well, remember how I was saying at the beginning of the summer how nice it is to get out of school so early? Yep, it's really nice. But now, it's not so nice because I already have to go back to school on August 6th, which is this Wednesday. Why does summer have to go by so fast? I am just trying to make the most of my last days of summer. The only thing I really have to look forward to on Wednesday is seeing my friends. At least that part will be nice. And about two or three weeks after school starts, I'll start dance again, so that'll be good. :)

Well, last week my friend and I went up to our school to pick up our schedules. They didn't have a very efficient way of giving out schedules, though. My friend and I got there as early as they would let us come so that it wouldn't be extremely crowded, but apparently everyone else had the same idea as us. So it turns out we should have just gone later! lol. My friend and I walked into the gym where we were supposed to go and this lady handed both of us numbers. My friend was number 335 and I was 336. We weren't sure exactly what these numbers were for, but after we had been standing in the gym for awhile we figured it out. A man announced, "numbers 80-100, you may now go to get your schedules." Of course, my heart sank. They were only on number 80 and I was 336! So yeah, that was lots of fun waiting. I did see a lot people that I haven't seen all summer. Some of them I was glad to see, and others...well, not so much. lol. I passed some guys in the hallway that were wrestling each other and acting all crazy and obnoxious and I said to my friend, "Oh, haven't you missed that so much?" lol. But anyway, after what seemed like 5 hours, my friend and I were finally called to get our schedules. Getting our schedules really turned out to be kind of pointless, because they didn't even list our teachers or room numbers (they always give us another copy of the schedules on the first day of school, so I guess that's when we'll find these things out). But at least I know when I have all my classes. For the first semester I have Earth & Space Science, Modern US History, Peer Helping, and Spanish 3. The second semester, I have English, Algebra 2, Spanish 4, and art. I think I might at least enjoy this year a little bit more since I had more of a say in what classes I'm taking- last year there were a lot of required classes that I had to take. I am a little nervous about Spanish, because I heard that Spanish 3 is supposed to be really hard, but my mom keeps saying I can do it because I'm good at Spanish. I guess she's right, it's just that I hope I can continue to keep picking it up well even as it gets really hard. I wasn't sure about taking the higher level Spanish classes, but (no offense to my school) they really don't offer many good electives. I really couldn't think of anything else I wanted to take! lol. Seriously, they have some of the weirdest electives- we seriously have a basket weaving class. I know, a lot of people use "basket weaving" as a joke, but I swear I'm not joking, we seriously have that as a class. =P

Well, I have to go now because we're heading over to the movie theater again soon! My dad really wants to see The Dark Knight, and my mom and I would like to see it too. I thought I should probably see the first Batman movie before this one, but my friend told me she hasn't seen that one yet but she still understood the new one. So I guess we'll still enjoy it. :) I did hear that it's really intense so hopefully it won't be too scary. =) lol. I'm excited though, because I'm sure it's going to be great! :D
