School has begun

Well, as you know, my first day of school was yesterday. I had the strangest feeling walking into the building on the first day. I was like, "This just isn't right. It can't be time for me to be coming back here already." But it was. Summer just went by in the blink of an eye (haha, that rhymed. :P) But wait, let me start at the beginning. Remember how in my last post I said how I hoped the bus people would cooperate on the first day? Well, unfortunately, they didn't. Well, this was actually my driver that messed up, not the people running the system. But anyhow, I was ready to walk out the door at 7:20, since the bus was supposed to come at 7:25. But what do you know? As I was about to walk out the door, my mom said that she just saw a bus go by out the window. She said that maybe it was the middle school bus, but we didn't have much hope since the middle school bus usually comes a little later. So, I went outside and sure enough, my two neighbors who go to the middle school were still standing at the bus stop. I walked down there and asked them just to make sure, and they said that it had indeed been the high school bus that passed. So, luckily for my mom, she ended up having to take me to school, and then, it ended up taking her so long to get back out of the school parking lot (since our school is so crowded) that she missed her Jazzercize class. Seriously, sometimes I don't know what my bus driver is thinking. She usually does come at the right time, but there were a few other times like this where she came five minutes early.
But anyway, besides that my first day went well. First I went to homeroom, where they gave us all these papers to get signed. I was happy that one of my really good friends ended up being in my homeroom again this year. Since our last names are pretty close alphabetically, we usually end up getting the same homeroom, but somehow last year it didn't work out that way.
My first class was science. This year I'm taking Earth and Space Science, and it seems like it will be pretty interesting. The only problem is that there seem to be quite a few wild hooligans in this class. I hate it when that ends up happening and they put all of those kinds of people in the same class! They don't try to bother me, at least, but the problem is that we're going to have to do some group assignments in this class. Hopefully my teacher won't pair me with any of them!
My next class was history. There wasn't really anyone I knew in there, but luckily the people in there seem pretty tame. lol. But anyway, I'm hoping this history class will be easy for me, because I'm taking Modern US History, which I took in 7th grade back in my former home.
And then I had peer helping! Of course, since it's a peer helping class, the people in there are nice. lol. I actually met three girls on the first day! Well, we actually did the same thing in that class both yesterday and today. We all went down to the cafeteria and stayed in there for all four lunch periods. We all sat at tables with either people's lunch numbers or bus numbers, and anyone who needed them could come ask us and we wrote it down for them. Our teacher let us eat during the 3rd lunch period even though we're normally going to have 4th lunch, and we got to sit at our own table and we had signs that said, "Welcome new students" so any new students could sit there, but hardly anyone did. lol. So yeah...that was pretty fun. lol.
And then my last class was Spanish. I have the same teacher that I had for Spanish 1. I'm really glad about that. I liked my Spanish 2 teacher too, but I seemed to learn the best with this teacher that I have now. Well, that class is going okay so far. Luckily we're going to review some stuff we already learned before we start the supposedly really hard stuff. lol.
So yeah, that's school so far!

Wow sounds like you're in for an interesting school year! I hope it's been going great for you, and I hope the bus service has improved! I mean how crazy is that for it to come early on the first day?! Your poor mom. I can just imagine how mad she'd be Lol

All your subjects sound pretty cool. And peer helping sounds very interesting! hehe let me know how that one goes. And good luck with those class room hooligans! haha I bet that would be pretty darn annoying though. Reminds me of some of those crazies in driver's ed....*sigh* lol

Yes, it's been pretty good so far. :) And yeah, luckily the bus hasn't come early again since the first day!

Yes, I'm enjoying peer helping so far! All the people in there are really nice. :) And yeah my science class is pretty annoying! lol. So you had some people like that in your driver's ed class? lol that would be one of the good things about being homeschooled, you'd never have to be in class with people like that except for driver's ed. haha lol

Haha ohh yeah some of the people in driver's ed were absolutely out of control! lol The guy kept threatening to keep the whole class late if they didn't cooperate, but thank heavens he never did or I would have been soo mad!! haha ;)And yes I enjoy that benefit of homeschooling very very much =]

Good glad peer helping is going good for you! And I guess you're right. All the people in that class would simply have to be nice! lol
