I think I'm legally obligated to do this every year.

so yesterday was the first day of school. duh you knew that. but yesterday my schedule was eight types of crazy, so ill do this today. are you ready? are you STEADY?! ARE YOU GO?!

1. homeroom, mr lewis, 3rd floor annex. okay, so, hes sweaty. like really. but anyway, we wont ever have it practically. anna talley, morgan, audrey. you know, the reg. but not derek. darn stuco homeroom.

2. honors german one, mr sturgis, 3rd floor annex. uhm, mostly i joined this class when my schedule was rearranged because the sturge is a hottie. wow, im a terrible person. but actually, i think i might learn some german now that hermmann the germmann is gonne. its a really small class. george williford is in it, but i think its because his schedule is wrong, so thatll probably change. otherwise, just ragan oliver and lots of freshman. and the sturgeon.

3. preAP precalculus, ms halfacre, 1st floor main (T stem). this will almost definitely be my hardest class. i think that math has finally caught up with me, and my years of psh-i-can-do-this in math are over. but ill be okay. a pretty good selection: merce, annebel, and borany at my table, plus chris, evan, and a kid who looks like brian nickol.

4. AP english language and composition, ms wexler, 1st floor main (T stem). its conveniently about three doors down from precal. wexler seems less scary then i first imagined. i predict this class will be a hakuna. matata, that is. no worries, that is. it has merce, alex bransford, and eldridge green.

5. honors latin three, ms lafon, 3rd floor annex. basically im really excited. i mean, we have a quiz tomorrow on declensions. i mean, i know declensions. i mean, im really excited about doing well in latin again. and its the only latin three class, so it has everyone still in latin from part deux: annebel, hattie, moore, shelbizzle, surosree, trey harness, etc. i have officially sat behind annebel in latin since grade eight. and since theres only one AP latin class, ill sit behind her again in AP for a five year run. amazing!

6. AP US history, mr stephenson, 3rd floor annex. mr stephenson is so cool. plus, his name is michael stephenson and my dads name is michael stephens. i told him that and he said "you trying to get more extra credit?" and laughed. AP US is going to be hard but great. im really glad im taking it. eileen, hattie, k.ho, nhat, derek, andrew lu, virginia hine. basically, 9.5 white kids and 14.5 asians and thats it. how exciting to be a minority. i love asians. except not the ones who are above me in class rank. like shawn pan, also in this class. when mr stephenson asked chi what his favorite movie was, chi said, "can i get a different question?" it was hilarious.

7. honors US government, ms sugarmon, 2nd floor main (sr gym end). today in government we wrote sugarmon a letter about ourselves and then divided into "north, south, east, and west personalities." i am so totally not concerned about this class being hard at all. i think it might be a little boring, but thats it. it has lane, eric neimeyer, eldridge, and hannah shaffer. next semester devin will be in my economics class in the portables with coach mcdugle. the treck from 3rd floor annex to portables is going to be LOADS of fun. except not.

well thats all. still no classes with morgan. (besides freshman english i havent had one with her since the sixth grade, and before that not since pre-k. the world is hell-bent on keeping us apart. but it will fail!) i have c lunch with everyone from my latin class plus lilla. so thats pretty good. this year is really looking up. i really hope i catch on in precal. i really hope my life continues to go this well for a while. today i saw nathan and peter for the first time since before summer. it was weird and nice. peter and i had this amazingly ought-to-be-on-film moment when he said "do you have ap physics?" and i said "do you have AP US?" at the same time and then we both said "no" at the same time. it was perfectly on point. it was like that one part in aladdin. "theyre after me! theyre after you?!" we high-fived.
