HIGH SCHOOL
IT’S ICKY
OR AT LEAST, MINE IS ICKY.
Ffff. I had a stupid, unimportant orientation yesterday, and an orientation that actually mattered today, in which we get our schedules and “walk” them (get to go to each class in order for a couple minutes, meet our teachers, see who’s in our classes with us, etc). Despite already knowing that the school itself is old and…not pretty and that most of my friends aren’t going to that particular school with me, I tried to go with an open mind. I really did.
Didn’t work.
First off, it was so EMPTY going to school after three moths of missing my friends to realize that I’m not going to see them for another year. I’d always KNOWN that fact, for years; but it never fully registered on me until now. I still tried to stay positive, though; maybe one of the few friends that’d be there with me would be in a lot of my classes, and maybe I could make new friends…Yeah.
Schedule:
A day:
1. Earth Science Honors
2. English 9 Honors
3. Latin 3
4. Art 1
B Day:
5. PE
6: RAIDER RALLY LOL GEE I WONDER WHAT THIS IS
7. Pre-AP History
8. Algebra
So, apparently, I start my A Days with Science. This would usually be fine; in middle school I always had my science block either first or second in the day, but this is different. I HAVE TO CROSS A FUCKING BRIDGE TO GET THERE. I KID YOU NOT. The school has a goddamn <em>bridge</em> on the upper floor that passes over the roof. Said bridge is mostly windows, so it actually looks really cool, but that’s not the thing. If my locker is on the lower floor, I’ll have to go from my locker, to the stairs, upstairs, to the end of the hall, across the aforementioned bridge, and then to the end of the hall there before the bell rings. And if my locker is on the bridge side (I’m not sure if there are lockers there or not though), then I’ll have to do the same in reverse to get to another class.
WHAT.
My classes are all over the place, seriously. It’s just…AUGH. UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS UPSTAIRS DOWNSTARS DOWN THE HALL UP THE HALL DOWN THE HALL UP THE HALL FFFFFF. This may be the way most high schools are, but still, it’s really intimidating. And I won’t have my tardly friends to get lost with me, either /wrists
Second block, English, seemed better. I had Drew (:iconsnowphones:) in that class with me, so yay! But the teacher was a chick. A CHIIIICK. Normally I wouldn’t have a problem with this, but I’m afraid of it being a repeat of last year, where my teacher loved a certain…Book series that no adult should like (a lot of my friends and watchers are sane fans of this book series, which is fine, but when you’re an adult that’s RIDICULOUS), meaning that she had no taste in literature whatsoever and was overall a total tard that piled on work, hated me for not liking the book series I mentioned, etc. I’m afraid of this teacher being like that. At first I was hopeful, but then she started TALKING. The whole school was telling us to use this two-binder system for organization, and this teacher was all “lol u can does that lolol but id prefer if u get a binder just for this class lol cuz if i see work from another classes in these binder u face my ungodly wrath LOLOLOL.”. In other words, she appears to be a bitch. D:
Latin…This actually doesn’t seem so bad. Drew is in that class with me, too, and the teacher seems cool (NO MORE CAMBRIDGE LATIN COURSE STYLE GRAMMAR LESSONS OR UNIT TESTS WOOO), and while all of the worst people in my Latin class last year went to this school and not the one where my friends are at (this is decided by where you live, btw), none of the absolute most annoying ones are in my class. My brother’s not in there with me, either :iconimhappyplz: WOO.
ART. This was a total disappointment. I was hoping to have friends there, because I’m shy about the whole art thing. I can’t draw or even take out my drawings unless there’s someone I’m comfortable with in the room (which is ironic because I post my drawings on the fooking internet). The teacher seems really cool, which I guess helps, but the class is small, and the only person in the class I think I may get along with has a very bitchy girlfriend and a very “LOL GENERIC JOCK KID” friend attached to him. The other people are people I already know and don’t like, and one boy I don’t know but is EXTREMELY stupid. Like, to the point of pointing to the boy’s bitchy girlfriend and saying “LOL THIS GURL IZ MY ENEMEEEZ” and then asking the teacher if we were going to do a unit on manga art. FAIL. (If it turns out this kid is Special Ed or something, I’m sorry in advance.) There is a TINY chance that one of my friends that wasn’t able to come to the orientation may be in my art class with me, but once again, small chance. D:
As for B day, FAIL ALL AROUND. I have two friends (Drewy and Joann, aka :iconinuyashalover588:) in my first (well, technically fifth, but y’know) block class, PE. PE, FIRST BLOCK. AS IN, I’M GOING TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING, GET TO SCHOOL, THEN SCURRY INTO THE GYM AND START RUNNING AROUND. AND WHEN THE MILE RUN TIME OF YEAR COMES AROUND, I’LL BE DOING THAT FIRST THING IN THE MORNING, TOO! JOY. D:<
“Raider Rally” turned out to be a universal study hall thing. This would be just fine if not for the fact that the classroom I’m placed for it is full of IDIOTS. You know, the kids that you don’t know because they aren’t in any classes with you because they’re in academic classes and you’re in honors, and usually this wouldn’t automatically label them as “dumb”, but in this case it does, because the way they act in there speaks for their intelligence? Yeah, them. Within the like, five minutes I spent in there, I managed to realize that almost everyone in there was a fucking idiot. Save for :icondance2urbeat: and a couple other people that I don’t know too well. I was hoping to have spent some of the time in that class drawing during the year; but with people like that all around I don’t know if I’ll be able to. /wrists
History was also shitty. Almost everyone in there was the kind of person you can automatically tell is a shallow snob just looking at them. Yeah, I know, don’t judge a book by its cover. I try to enforce this a lot, so it’s kind of hypocritical for me to say this. But these kids just radiate this “I have nice things and I’m going to shove it in your face. Oh, and I’m pretty too, I’m going to shove that in your face also. I’m also going to make it obvious that I think myself better than you :D” aura radiating off of them. I may be wrong, but I’m probably not. I must’ve had a “D:” look on my face the whole time, because when I was leaving, the teacher (who seems nice, at least) asked if I was okay. Twice. :’D
My algebra class has two freshmen, if you include me. TWO. Meaning that there were only two students (me and this other kid I don’t know) in that class during the orientation and the rest are SOPHOMORES. I don’t know if this is good or bad. The teachers seem nice, though. Yes, plural, because this is a “dumb math” class that not only takes the “LOLSMART”ness away from my schedule somewhat and apparently requires two teachers to “help” the students. DURR.
Oh, and because it’s high school and high schools have a lot of students, I could only find four or five of the friends that are going to that school with me. One wasn’t there all together apparently, and the others I didn’t even see, probably because of the crowd and such. Which really, really sucks.
Oh well, maybe I’ll have my locker in an awesome place? Or maybe I’ll become good friends with someone I didn’t previously know? Hopefully both. If not both, then hopefully the latter. I’d rather a close friend than a nice locker area any day. :’C
I think I had something else to report to you, but my wangst has caused me to forget it C:
