today was my last first day of high school! most of today was fine, some wasn't as good. my morning classes seem like they will be really good. we didn't do much today in them, but still, they sound good and the teachers are pretty good. the classes are CISBA (today we had something else...don't know what to call it...whole high school first day welcome/rules? idk), Gov/econ (the teacher didn't come in for like 20 min or something, then we had class for a while, then all school chapel), english 4, bible 4 (i realized just how funny our principal--the teacher--is), and math apps (we did this sheet by ourselves and this other girl and i forgot some of the stuff so we are like guessing how to do it and stuff. we can look in the book but it doesn't help much. i was wondering if we were gonna work on these sheets alone all year without being explained how to do but then i thought maybe the teacher is seeing how much we remember first). for lunch, most of my class (yay for seniors being allowed to leave campus for lunch lol) and billie went to chicken express, so i spend a little time with billie (the only time i was able to be with her today, unfortunately). we only had time to get our food, but we had to take it back to school for class and so we had to eat in there, which the next period teacher said we can't eat in the room again lol. after lunch, was biology2, which was ok, but i'm kinda thinking of dropping it. cause it's honors which i don't need since i'm not doing distinguished, it would be different if i was doing a science major in college but i'm not (the only way it would prepare me for college is all the reading we are gonna do, which i think i could handle lol)-- so it's extra work that i don't really need. and it sounds like it may be kinda stressful added on to everything else. i didn't put it down as a class i wanted to take, but when i got my schedule it was there, so i kept it cause the teacher is cool (i have her for math apps so if i drop this it's all good lol) and most of my class is in it (so i don't know what i would do if i didn't take it, i could leave campus, but do what alone? i don't have time to come all the way home and back for my next class). i'm kinda thinking of seeing if billie needs/wants a MS theatre aide on M/W/F. that would be fun. i'll be with my other favorite teacher, she'll prob like the help, and i don't mind helping her out. then on T/T (billie teaches speech those days at that time) i GUESS i could do any of the following (some of it i don't want to do but i could try them all out till i find some i like)-- go to my brothers' house, eat out longer/hang out with other seniors not taking the class (i'm not good friends with them but oh well...idk who all is not taking it besides hilary and matt), help in the office or somewhere, go to the school library to study or read, stay in billie's room, or go to my dad's office. anyway, idk if i'm dropping biology2, i guess i need to talk to billie about being her aide, and decide if that's really what i want to do and stuff, but i got the form i have to fill out anyway. so anyways, after biology2 was spanish2. there are only like 5 people in the class so it's kinda good (but if i don't talk too loud when we are repeating something together it's noticed lol). i think it's gonna be a hard class. there's a lot of speaking spanish and listening to it, which i STINK at. we do a lot of reading and writing it too, which i'm not too good at but i think i can handle that (what else would you do in a spanish class lol). i kinda wish i was still taking it correspondence, but it took like 2 years to finish 1 year (2 semesters) of it. the teacher seems kinda nice, so i think after i get used to her, i speak up louder, stuff like that, then the class will be a little better. anyways, after that, i had an english lab with like 4 other seniors to...idk get help on trying to raise my ACT scores. it was kinda boring today, and i was kinda wishing i was in billie's theatre class the whole time, but i can retake the ACT 60 days after i last took it (it'll be about the beginning of septemeber), and if i still don't do good then i can take this other test. THEN maybe i can get into theatre. that'll be good. i'll work toward that goal lol. after school, after i got the change-class-form, i hung out with jess and some other friends, that was fun. jess helped with with the add-in shelf thing in my locker-- go jess, thx! lol. tomorrow (T/T) the only difference from today (M/W/F) is that instead of the english lab i'll have BILLIE for YEARBOOK!!!! YAY!!! i loved that class last year lol. i think if i drop bio and after i get out of the lab, all my classes are gonna be good, except maybe for spanish. they would be (if it works out)--CISBA, gov/econ, english4, bible4, math apps, theatre aide/off period, spanish2, theatre, and yearbook. one thing i dont like about school starting is that i don't get home till like 4ish then the afternoon/night goes by too fast. now that school has started back, except for seeing billie and mrs harsh again, i wish it was summer again lol. hmm. anyway. i kinda missed both mels and both beths today, but i was with billie and mrs harsh so it was good. those girls are so funny and nice and sweet. they're great people to be around. it's weird to have them as teachers or whatever cause i'm like so close friends with them and then when they teach or whatever it's just weird lol. well i guess i'll wrap this up now...hope y'all had good first days (heather--NOW i'm done. and i hope you have a good first day tomorrow lol)
