Six Days and Counting...

Today was the sixth day of school for me. As you might know, six days ago was my first day of school. So far, I am loving high school! I love the non-strict rules, the new people, the nice teachers, and the laid back dress code. Sure it's not all perfect, I don't have friends in two of my classes. But hey! It's a good way to make friends right?
I've seen Derek a few times in the halls, but we haven't talked. Which is probably a good thing. I need to get over him. I see my two best friends Eva and Sabrina everyday, so I know I'll survive.
I just hope the rest of this year is drama free and all about education and friends.

35 Mondays and 175 days of school to go...

First Day of School Experience

8:00 pm, the night before- So, Ive been getting ready all day. I've waxed my brows, painted my nails, and Ive been debating outfits all day. I'm probably 70% normal, 10% excited, 20% nervous at this point.

7:17 am- Ive done my hair and makeup and Im all dressed. Now Im waiting for the bus to arrive. 40% normal, 30% nervous, 30% excited right now.

7:34 am- Im on the bus now, I found a friend from last year and we sat together. So I don't feel so alone and awkward. I'm 50% nervous, 50% normal.

4:03 pm- So I just got home. I rode the bus home, except it was funner in the afternoon. The day was really good. I met some new people. The teachers are really nice, the classrooms are easy to find, and the day went by fast. As of now, Im 70% normal, 30% nervous for tomorrow.

10:40 pm- Im about to go to bed. After an exhausting day, Im so ready for sleep! I'm not so nervous anymore. I can't wait for the weekend! I'm already tired of school and homework! 80% normal, 15% excited, 5% nervous. Goodnight.

24 Hours

In twenty four hours, I'll be in school. The first day of school is tomorrow. I'm excited, but nervous! I'm prepared, but not ready. I'll make new friends and enemies. Which is good, if people didn't have haters I think we wouldn't be so strong.
I'm going to update before and after school. I'll do one post at two different times. So you'll be updated on my first day as fresh meat.

Equality

Prop 8 was overturned! I'm so happy! If you didn't know, I am really big on gay rights. So when I heard that gay marriage was allowed in California in 2005, I was really excited! Then Prop 8 was passed. I don't understand why two people who love each other, gay or straight, aren't allowed to marry. Anyway, now Prop 8 is gone! Gay people have the right to marry again! Hopefully this time it'll last.
