Week 1: School As You Don't Know It

         If you were searching for a cookie cutter, run of the mill sum up of school with the whole "school lunches are gross and the stairs make me tired" keep looking, because this blog will have two parts. One part  involving average junk and the second part will read about the internal struggles I am over coming. 
                                                        
Part One: School As Its Always Been With Minor Changes
         New teachers are always fun to get to know and this year we were lucky enough to get two. The fact that we don't have planners anymore was just a reminder that all things change and sometimes we just have to gripe under our breaths and to our friends in study hall about how it sucks. Letting kids go to the bathroom has now become the most difficult issue a teacher can face. We're the same kids, we just don't have little boxes to put the time in anymore. Trust us to pee for heaven sakes! As far as my classes go, the most challenging one has to be a toss up between French III and Algebra II, but what's new? My math skills are that of a small child and if I ever went to France they would arrest me for saying something like, "I killed my grandma," when I meant to say, "Please pass the salt." Algebra II is the class that takes the cake for most homework too. Psychology is my easiest class and I enjoy it the most. I completely love Psychology. For the most part, as far as grades go, I expect myself to do well.



     Part Two: I'm More Out Of Wack Than Ever
   This year has been extremely hard, life changing, and very diffcult. When I get in a mentally unsound mood, it's difficult for me to relate to my class mate's small complaints, such as "my hair just wouldn't jell this morning" or "no one talks at our table, it's so boring." Of course I have tiny things that annoy me too and talking to people is what I enjoy most on a daily bases, it's just tough when I can't help thinking this is much too silly to be concerned about. Once your eyes get a hold of how important life is, it's impossible to reverse it. Right now, I'm going to get deep in my mind and if you don't want to read it, don't. You've read enough for a comment. Once you've seen someone you love more than anything take his last breath, crap gets real for you. All the sudden your makeup and favorite TV show seems alot less important. Whenever your next complaint comes to mind just think, does this really matter in the grand ol' theme of life? In the bigger picture is this truly air-wave worthy? I grantee that it'll make you consider your complaints a little more. It did for me.

  1. Having no planners and no passes sucks, especially with the new math teacher. It's impossible to get out of her class and go to the bathroom, if you try to go in between classes and you dont make it there in time for the bell well it doesn't matter to her if you were in the bathroom or not. Ohh, byy the way I now know never to complain to youu.!(:

  2. No! You can complain to me any time and I'll probably complain right back, but it helps better your life, in my opinion, to consider what it is that your complaining about before you just blurt it out.

  3. I totally agree with you on that second part. We're Juniors in High School, and it's time to pay attention on what really matters. in 2 years we start a whole new life, and a lot of people/kids have no idea what they're getting in to.

  5. You are so creative! "I killed my grandma" for "pass the salt" ? lol (You should join yearbook!) I agree about the planners to; I just feel so disorganized...and that's not good b/c I like to be organized! Also, I agree about the complaining. I'll sometimes start griping to someone/thinking about how somethings not right and then I stop and think, am I breathing? yes. (and even if I wasn't I'd be going to heaven) so what should I be complaining about? The last part of my long response is to just reassure you that I am here for ya! If you wanna talk, let's talk! If you don't want me to say anything I'll shut up and listen. And there's always the option of us acting weird, being goofy, and hanging out like we always do :)
