The Last First Days

Well, week one of my senior year is officially over!

Mixed Choir is going to be awesome as always. One of our songs this year is from The Music Man. It's the "Wells Fargo Wagon" song. English is going to totally rock. Nothing but reading! Yeah! I haven't read so much in one day before! It's totally cool. Treble Choir is going to be so much fun. We have girls who can actually sing, several who sing beautifully, and more advanced songs to work with. I sing soprano two in that class as well, which is an extra bonus. Psych is going to be interesting and I think I will really benefit from it when it's all said and done.

Lunch is mostly figured out now. I sit on the end (again) next to or across from Luke (depending on the day), Keith and Cassie are near us, and the rest of the gang sits down the table and do...whatever it is they do. Haha

Of course science is science, but I've learned a lot in Aquatic Bio this week! Did you know that if you freeze water into ice cubes and then unfreeze it, it is now pure water because all the stuff that didn't make it through the filter is pushed out during the freezing process? Cool, huh? Algebra II is going to be really hard, but with effort and extra help I think I will survive. Spanish III is totally awesome as well. Loving it! I'm still sad that Senor Montano isn't my teacher, though.

The drama in the group is still rising. Keith and Cassie are currently broken up, which is causing complications all around. Keith talks to me a lot about it and tells me stuff he never tells anyone else...not even Cassie sometimes. I feel honored that he trusts me enough to come to me when he needs advice or just someone to talk to. And then, on top of all of that, I am starting in on my own boy issues with a guy in the group, but that's a story for another time...

All in all, great first week! I am student of the month for September. I had no idea that the last SOTM for the previous year gets to be the first for the new year. That's cool!

Just because, here's a pic of my group. You can only see like two faces, but at least it will give you an idea. From left to right: Keith (Rachel is hiding behind him...you can see her hair, at least...lol), me, Luke; and on the ground: Cassie and her younger sister Helen. That is the core, pretty much. What you see here is at the center of the drama right now. Everyone else I don't have a picture of yet. Haha :)
