Musings #4
Mood: Content.
Today: (last night) heard and saw two adult raccoons fighting in the backyard o.o
We’re four weeks into freshmen year at high school.
High school’s a little more…exciting than middle school. I think my favorite class right now is PE, since it really feels like we’re doing something. I love the sprints across the gym. I also have a lot of friends in my PE class, both guys and girls, which is unusual. I love hanging out with Eliza, Gillian, and Natalie, which I haven’t done since seventh grade. I hang around with Antonio and Erik a lot. I was so surprised to see Khalil at the beginning of the year, but now I talk to him a lot during PE. It’s a lot of fun :P
I miss the simplicity of middle school. There were five ways instead of two for moving from floor to floor and it was never so crowded that you had to blame your tardiness on the staircases. Block schedule’s doing nothing for me. I don’t like sitting in one class for an hour and a half.
I MISS 7TH AND 8TH GRADE SO MUCH. It’s ridiculous…I feel so alone without my friends in my classes. Katie’s gone. Emily and Jackie are in none of my classes. Heck, I even miss watching Corwin and his 5 different cubes during lunch. know I should make new friends, but sometimes I feel so miserable during class.
I get to see most of my friends during lunch, which is thankfully off-campus, and I usually sit behind Connie in Chemistry while having ninja battles on paper with Omid, who sits next to me a lot. Calvin is in my Geometry Honors, but making ‘you’re going down!’ signals at each other is different without Michael and Sam threatening to roast each other in the background.
I miss Timothy a lot. It’s different from missing my other friends, who I can find on the phone or on MSN every day. English isn’t any fun without having someone who can talk back logically to the teacher. In Jazz Lab, which is the only class I share with him, he sits all the way across the band and I can only talk to him after rehearsal. I miss walking to music with him and listening to his Rubiks cube turning behind me when he solves it during class.
A few respites keep me alive during the day. Connie calls me every morning to make sure I’m awake and heading to school on time, and we go to find each other every lunch hour. I always look forward to what we’re going to do in Theater Ensemble after school, and when I come home I come and see who’s in Pchat. And I think I’m doing really well in Geometry - despite Calvin’s promise that I’m going down ;P
I guess one another one of the reasons I’m so disappointed about this school year is that I had to let go of TIC when it started. I miss my summer.
