Aug. 28th, 2006 07:12 pmbzzt bzzt. First day of school! over. yay.
I am sad. I got a pile of math problems + worksheets, world history reading, two Japanese essays, a bunch of poetry work, and the standard pile of teacher/student agreements and goldenrods for parents to sign, all due tomorrow.
T__T I thought we would have some slack the first day! Come on.
I rather like my schedule. It turns out me and Tiff both have 1st period math only I'm in Calc and she's in Alg or Trig or something but anyway it still means we're both in the math quad! Because it's the MATH quad. And then I have period 2 and 3 with her, i.e. the whole morning. ^^
Incidentally, my new nickname in per2 history is now "squirrel." Ask me for the full story.
Period 4 English, funky new teacher called Rector who's pretty cool. Don't know many people in the class except Thomas and some orchestra people. mmmm. (funny thing is, THAT class is all soph. ahaha.)
Lunch, period 5 is orchestra! yay. Kind of empty without the class of '06... srsly, they added a lot of life to the orchestra, but anyway, I don't have any classes with Ashley anymore but apparently Jason's in my 6th and 7th period class so I have someone to go to XC with! yay.
6, poetry, apparently poetry I, II, and III are all in one class which is even worse than Jap 3 and 4 being together, but Sutton's the same as ever. XD
Chem H has a huge book. Not so big as Calc though. Calc has a new textbook that weighs like 15 pounds, and I had Calc first period so I carried it around all the rest of the day. T__T History has a decent sized one, and the other classes we didn't pick the books up yet.
So, XC, again I am stranded a 7th perioder, but this time instead of Daniel and Eddie there's Jason and Eddie and probably more, since it's not *just* long distance people like it was for track, but today the coach waited for us. He told me earlier that we were running a Peach Hill so people would be familiar with it for the trial times, and I told Ashley and then we got there and...
Coach: We're running a nice, easy road run today.
Ashley + me: *under our breath* YES!
Coach: We're running Peach Hill.
Ashley + me: diandiandian... *deflates*
So the varsity course for that (I'm not on varsity but Lisa/Ashley/I run with them anyway) is 3.1 miles in the Montalvo hills which is a mile from the school, and it's HILL HILL HILL lots of hills. T__T nice easy road run my butt. And me/Lisa lagged back (she was injured so she walks when it's downhill, and sometimes uphill too) got horribly lost and came out much further than we were supposed to be, and then Jason who took his sweet time changing (and hence missed the rest of the XC team when we left) caught up with us coz we were wayyyyy behind and we walked a lot of the way back along highway 9.
In other news, lots of alumni (mostly class of '06) hanging around school today. I predict they'll be around for a week or so before they all really finally vanish... bumped into Andrew Taw in the morning when we were getting the history textbook, and after XC when I was doing hw John came driving one of these janitor trucks and Lawrence and Austin were both there... and yeah... stuff... I'm not too fond of the freshmen, but I don't see like any of them in classes or anything, so w/e. mmmm.
shower, then instrument time!
