School... Funness

I made it. I made it throught the whole entire first day - though in the first hour I thought I might die of sheer boredom and nerves and hunger... basically, I only made it through because just about every boy I like smiled at me. It was pretty great.

You know whats weird? When people stare at you, and stare at you, and won't look away until you meet their eyes, then you both smile awkwardly and look away, both probably wondering what in the name the other person was thinking. I know that when that happens to me I'm thinking, "What? What's wrong? Do I look funny? Is my hair messed up? Why the heck are you staring at me?" And then - this is weirder - when a boy does that to me. I mean, like, what?? Are you staring at me because you like me? Or because I look funny? And then I think, it must be the former, because nobody else is staring at me like that... then I get my hopes all up and they never look at me again the entire school year. Unless, you know, they get more sneaky about their staring.

That's a weird thought... makes me wonder how many people stare at me when I'm turned away...

Anyway, besides all that, school was pretty cool. I mean, basically, Wasatch rocks the world. We have awesome sports teams, a sweet facility, lots of classes, and sleek new technology. I'm totally psyched to begin the year, but totally scared, because I'm not sure I can draw good enough, and I'm afraid the homework will be crazy ridiculous, and I have lots of classes with older students in them - like, as in, scary, freaky, intimidating Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. But I guess if I'm just cool about it, I'll make it through. Nobody'll ever have to know I'm a Freshie - I've been told I look like a Sophomore, so if nobody specifically states that I'm a Fresh I'll be fine. Besides, my school is chock-full of Mormons and we all more or less stand up for each other. You know. 'Cause we're just cool like that.

It was so crazy - I walked into my first class, right? And there were three people in it. Three people! Three little Freshies taking a class with all the scary upperclassmen. It was kinda funny actually. Just us three sitting there chillin while the teacher talked about the fancyness that would be our class. This should be fun, oui?

Haha! French! Bonjour, people. I'm gonna learn it all and be fluent someday! Yeah! Bring it on. I'll write the notes in my pink pie folder and practice every day with my friend and brother and maybe my sister when she calls. I can't wait!

Bring on high school!!
