Oh god, what a bitch.

So, I figured today would be a fitting time to start blogging. I've had this thing forever, over a year probably. Now there are just more popular and I'm feeling inspired to keep one. Way better than a personal journal in my opinion. Moving on!

Today was the first official day of 11th grade. It was terrible. This better not be a sign of things to come, because I can't tolerate a year of the insanity I just went through today. They messed up my schedual a little bit, but I knew this going in, and I figured, "how bad can this really be?" But, I was SO WRONG. First of all, I was supposed to be taking Meterology & Astronomy for sciences, but nobody on this face of the planet told me that you need three years of a lab science in order to graduate. So, my dippy guidence counselor put me in Earth Scence MGR; aka, the "repeter" class for 11th & 12th graders who couldn't pass the class the first time around, so it has an even more basic curriculum. Um, WHAT? HULLO, no to the effing way. I felt like I was surrounded by screaming idiots who didn't even know how to measure a cube, and looked at me all befuddled when I said there is no need to measure all the sides of a CUBE, they are equal. GAWD, I need out of this class.

Also, I was supposed to have Mr. Hanely for English. I know that sounds like a minor thing, and I just kind of shrugged it off, but my god, my english teacher is a physco. I told her I was going to be out for a while when I get my back surgery, and she went off like a rocket. *facepalm*. The better things about today was concert choir. I felt completely lost and had zippo idea what I was doing, but it was easily the highlight of my day, not to mention I'm surrounded by friends (which is the only time of day I see ANYONE I know). I'm excited to learn this new challenging music and to improve my range and things like that. I just feel so intimidated, especially because I'm sitting next to Jen. I'm glad we are, because we're really good friends, but... she's awfully compettitve and way more talented than I am in that department. -sigh,- I'll just have to see how it goes.

Web design was pretty good too though. I'm very excited for this class, even though Mr. Hoagland is kind of a dud... haha, he had no idea what to do when noone responded to his questions. Duh, it's the first day... kind of the unwritten rule that nobody speaks. But I was already on a computer, and staring at the most expensive photo/web design equipment I've ever seen. GAH, how i love this elective. Too bad it's half-year.

Needless to say, I very quickly made an appointment with my good ol' guidence buddy. Which is when I found out he was fired! Gah, I've never been so inseemingly happy to hear such a thing. The guy was an idiot. Now that I have a new guidence counselor, I plan on playing the white lie- card. Only if it comes to that. I just want to make sure I get the classes I want, even if it means saying I had plans with my other guidence pal that apparently didn't go through. Plus, I have to make arrangements about my back and all that good stuff. YAY FOR SEVERE SPINAL PROBLEMS! ....not.

Tomorrow is going to drag like a hot day without air conditioning. Possibly because none of my classrooms actually have air conditioning. Or, maybe because I have to sit through all of my messed up classes until 1:38 when I can change them, and then high tail out of the place to go to my grandma's, then ultimately to the city to see WICKED! YAYAAAAY! Not to mention stay overnight and see Spring, ITH & [TOS]. AND HOPEFULLY RENT! GAAAH so excitedededed.

Side note, I legit forgot how awkward first days are. Everyone awkwardly walks in the halls trying to find their class, while trying not to look like they don't know where they're going, even though they don't. Then, nobody says anything in class unless someone else does that same thing, and everyone gives teachers blank stares and mindless nods to all of their questions. Then, you awkwardly hug the random people you haven't seen since the last day of school the previous year, ranging from that girl you were forced to share your gym locker with, to your twice switched out of Italian teacher. Awkward.
HAPPIER THINGS! I got my phone yesterday. My AMAZING Titanium Voyager. I am in love. Legit. It's the most amazing piece of technology I own. But, I must be going now. Off to do my 53 math problems and start on an English journal entry "about me." Then I have to pack for the weekend and get my junk in order. Simple enough. I want to be in bed by 10. That gives me less than two hours.
Gotta fly!
Em.
