Piled

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Life at school just has been so hectic. Tons of homework, quizzes, pop quizzes, tests, quests, paragraphs. You name it, they've all been thrown at us. And now I have a project. Ugh...and then soon I'll have my 12 page term paper to write...School life is great...Just great...

First Day of School...

School started the day after Labor Day! Yay! But I'm already tired...the bus company decided to come pick us up earlier, so instead of arriving at the bus stop at 6:35 am, it's gonna be 6:25 am. For me, this means I have to wake up at 5:30 am, and leave the house by 6:10 am. This totally sucks.

On the other hand, seeing my friends was wonderful. We talked endlessly about our summers and stuff. It was great. And one of my bffs from third grade is finally in a class with me. We haven't been in any academic class since third grade because we were such trouble makers. Finally we're back together again. Yay!~

Lunch is a total drag because there are 94 new freshmen. A breaking record; the most our school has ever had. So once 12:45 pm comes, there's a mad rush to the cafeteria. Even with the two lunch lines, you have to wait for like 20 min, no joke. Luckily our lunch period is 40 minutes, and you could just come back during the second half of lunch when the lines are shorter to get lunch (but then there wouldn't be any desserts left...).

School is finished by 3:30 pm, and if you take sports, by 5:30 pm (not on game days). This fall I decided not to take soccer because I'd like to get home earlier. My coach from last year got mad at me, and told me he didn't like me (but he tells everyone this, even other teachers). But I'll be joining him in the spring for track and field.

My classes for this school year are the following:
- Latin III
- Geometry and Trigonometry
- English 10
- Introduction to Engineering
- American and European History (Core I)

I'm already tired from only 3 days of school and I've got 9 more months left. I wonder how I'll hold up...

Google kicks ass. No joke.

I just got a brand new laptop because everyone in my grade has to have the same exact computer or else it isn’t fair. So I was really pissed off about not having any of my bookmarks, but Google has a bookmark sync that automatically takes all your bookmarks from your Google account, and transfers it to your new computer! Yes! I don’t have to waste all my time typing in every single bookmark of mine, they’re all here! Thank you so much Google!

I WON A CONTEST!

I won a contest!! This is the first time I've ever won a contest in my entire life! Omfg! I can't believe it!!! You don't understand how happy this makes me!! I should totally try the lottery now!

Today I received a package in the mail and had no clue what I had ordered. But to my surprise, I had won a contest! My name was selected out of a hat full of hundreds of others. My luck has never been good, which is why I never gamble or anything cause I know I'll lose. For instance, once in fourth grade, during Design Technology, we made go-carts. There were four people in my group, including myself, and by the end of the semester it was time to take home the carts. Two of the girls in my group didn't want the g0-cart, so it was just me and this girl named Anabella. I had a fifty-fifty chance of winning, but in the end I lost. From then on I knew my luck was bad. But I guess people's luck do change, and mine has changed for the better! Yay! Maybe I'll start betting and see what happens. Maybe not.

Anyways, from the contest, I won the second season of the anime called Aria. It includes episodes 14-26, and the anime is supposedly "a whimsical ride," quoted by ActiveAnime.com. I can't wait to start watching this series! But I'll have to start at episode one, which isn't included. I guess I'll just watch it online. Thanks Otaku USA Magazine! You just made my day!
