OMFG NO FREE TIIIIIIIME... Dx
Yeah. So technically, today was my second day of school, but yesterday was WAY busy, so I had no time to post. Though I totally would have. And that's what I'm doing now; posting about both yesterday and today. I'M SO EFFING TIRED. xD'
Mmmm... So. Yesterday, I got up 15 minutes later than I normally would have, because my older sister had told me that she didn't have to be at zero hour that day. It ended up that she did have to go, so I had to leave the house without eating breakfast (don't worry, I ate a bagel in the car xD). On the drive over, I realized that I had forgotten both my writing notebook and my iPod, so I just knew that it wouldn't turn out to be a very good day. And I was right. I got to school ridiculously early and spent an awkward 20 minutes to half an hour in the library, screwing around with one of my WIPs (originally a Yullen week fic xD).
1st period, I had orchestra. Which was weird. I was happy to see my friends again, and we somehow became the outgoing 9th graders in the class, haha, but Mr. Blickenfail was as awkward as ever. The only difference is that he seems to have figured out how to hide his pedophilic nature (WHICH ONLY SCARES ME MORE >.>). So now, he's just weird, instead of creepy. The class was pretty boring; we didn't even play, just spent the whole period going over formalities and whatnot. I don't even remember what we talked about. xD
Then I had PE. I was really mad about that, actually, because I was supposed to have health this semester (a.k.a. I wouldn't need to bring PE clothes and shoes and get all sweaty until the end of January). And, the only person I knew in the class was this girl I was friends with in 7th grade, Shelby, who I would only tentatively still consider a "friend." We're just not very interested in the same things anymore, but we get along well enough. Anyway, she had at least 4 friends in the class, and I just kind of tagged along with that group while we went into the locker room and got assigned PE lockers and listened to the whole locker room spiel. Then, we had about half the period to do absolutely nothing. I was SO BORED. My only option, pretty much, was to listen to Shelby and her friend Heather's conversation, which SEVERELY scarred me for life. It just got more and more disturbing as time went on. It went from "Oh, that kid's so annoying when he's high," to "Oh, remember when she fucked him?" to "Haha, I remember fucking this guy in someone's parents' shower." THESE PEOPLE ARE IN FREAKING 9TH GRADE. WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH THEIR LIVES? I AM AFRAID FOR MODERN TEENAGERS EVERYWHERE (even though I'm one of them).
So, understandably, I bolted out of there as soon as the bell rang to go and find my English classroom. That class was alright, too; I can tell that the class will at least be interesting (and I've always liked English, anyway), though, once again, I felt like a loner because I had NO FRIENDS in that class. It's times like these I realize just how few friends I have (or how many of them are sophomores, and are therefore up at the high school). The teacher, Ms. Snyder, is interesting; she comes across kinda hippyish, but isn't afraid to make jokes at other people's expense; she's a "backpack Nazi," meaning she makes us take off our backpacks and leave them by the door, only bringing the materials we need to our seats; and, best of all, she puts on music during class. Yesterday, it was Miles Davis. =DDD I kinda like her. She has spunk. xD
After English was the long-anticipated Honors Physical Science with Mr. Samson. HE IS AWESOME. HE MAY WELL BE ONE OF MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE TEACHERS EVER. Seriously, he spent the first half of class talking about how he was horrible at remembering names, and went into this whole long story about how "they don't teach you how to take role in teaching school," and how the first time he taught a class, he called a guy named Michael "Michelle" and got totally chewed out for it. xD Then, he talked about how one of the main reasons kids fail his class is wrong or no organization, and proceeded to show us how to properly use a binder. xD Apparently, folders aren't proper organization (though I never liked them, anyway). AND, apparently, they're called "folders" in the East coast (where he grew up), but they're called "Peachies" here. xD I've always called them folders, so. But apparently, when Mr. Samson first joined the faculty at my school, someone came up to him, saw a folder on his desk, and said, "Hey, lemme take a look at your Peachy." xDDDDD I laughed SO HARD.
Then I had lunch, which I had with some of my friends, so that was good. After that, though... I have to wait about 20 minutes, then walk up to the high school for 5th and 6th period. Yesterday, I found out that during that waiting period, a) I am the only girl waiting, b) the other 5 guys all know each other, c) I know all of them, but am not close to any of them, d) two of them are guys that I have formerly liked (one of whom I asked out, and was rejected by >.>), e) one of them is Nahum, who I HATE HATE HATE, and another is Thomas, who I have HATE HATE HATED since the 4th grade. OH, wait, the other guy was one that I liked in 3rd grade. And who is now an uber dork and annoying as all hell. So yeah, that part of my day sucks ass. Hard. >.> But at least, one of the guys mentioned in part d wasn't there today or yesterday. And in all honesty, that's the more awkward of the two (three?), because I liked him in 6th grade and was a total STALKER about it. And, I get weird vibes from him that he likes me, but that's totally impossible, since before I liked him, we were arch enemies (he hangs out with Thomas a lot, and I met them together in 4th grade and hated them both). I'm pretty sure the looks he gives me "stealthily" over his shoulder are just him making sure I'm not tailing him around the halls, or something. But why would I do that? He's hot, sure, and he's Japanese, sure (Japanese guys are hot, I won't lie xD), and he plays soccer, sure (soccer players are also hot xD), but he's a total jerk. And not in a sexy, Kanda-like way, either. In a cocky, laugh-everything-off-because-I-can-do-anything-you-do-ten-times-better kind of way. Y'know, cliche. Still, I almost can't stop myself from being hyper-aware of his every move... >.>'
So, I walked up to the high school for 5th period Japanese I, and we ended up having to move to a different room because there were two teachers booked for the same room (weird~). I get there, and there is NO ONE that I know. Not that any of my other classes (except orchestra) had been any different, but still. So I'm just kind of sitting there awkwardly, la di da dah. The teacher goes over all the basic information about the class, and then she asks each person to introduce themselves and tell the class why they wanted to learn Japanese. Now, I wanted to take the class because I think the language is really beautiful, but I was only aware of that through the ungodly amounts of anime I watch. So I was thinking, "Oh, shit, if I say I'm taking it because of anime and manga, everyone's gonna think I'm a freak." But then, a couple of other girls in the class mentioned anime and manga, but somehow managed to get across that they liked the language for the language, and I figured I could do the same thing. So when it was my turn, I just up and said, "I'm Savannah, and I wanted to take Japanese because... well, I'm a dork. I watch lots of anime, and read lots of manga, but I've always thought the Japanese culture and language were really interesting, and I'd like to learn how to speak it." Apparently, that went over well; as soon as I mentioned anime, these two girls in the front turned around and cheered. xD Then, we had about 20 minutes left to just mingle, get to know each other and whatnot. Immediately, these two girls call me over, and we get to talking about our favorite animes and mangas (one girl, ironically with the same name as my best friend (Samantha, Sami for short xD), likes Naruto, and the other likes Bleach), and then this other guy, who seemed to only have dabbled in anime, joined into the conversation, and this other girl walks over and goes, "Okay, please tell me someone over here has seen Hellsing." (None of us had, but we'd all heard of it. xD) So now, we have kind of our own group. It makes me happy. I'm not good at making friends. ^_^'
And, finally, math. All I can say: UGH. My teacher has the WORST accent--he's from Pakistan, or something--and tries to be cool and funny, but just comes across awkward. And then, he assigned homework ON THE FIRST DAY. And it was a lot of homework! Can't say I'm gonna like math this year any more than any other. *sigh*
After school, I had to walk to the mall, which wouldn't have been so bad except that I had my (HEAVY, HEAVY) laptop to carry all the way there, and it was really hot, so I was insanely sweaty when I got there. But it was worth it. I bought a bottle of water and a Java Chip at the Starbucks in Barnes and Noble, and sat there reading through my latest dgm_bigbangchapter (I tried to get on the internet, but apparently the free wifi there has been being screwy Dx). It was strangely peaceful. Like, there was the buzz of everyday life, but unlike school, I didn't feel watched. Because when you hang out with a bunch of kids who are too smart for their age (I'm one of them >.>'), you feel WATCHED. It's ridiculous. I can't relax! But things were good at the coffee shop. Nice. I got a lot done. =)
Then, I had to ride the bus home. I caught the 4:00, transferred to a different bus, and stupidly got off at the wrong stop (I didn't realize there were 4 EFFING STOPS ON ONE ROAD). So I had to walk about a mile back to my house, most of which was uphill. Thereby making me sweaty again. Then, I got home, and immediately had to get ready for soccer, which I sucked at, anyway, because I was so tired (practically falling asleep on my feet Dx). Then, I got home, did nothing for 3 hours, and went to bed far too late. Hence my tiredness now. Dx
Hmm... Wow, long rant. >.>' Well, since that was so long, and the first day always needs more attention than the second, I'll just briefly gloss over today: orchestra was boring, just a bunch of stupid, simple scales; PE was REALLY boring, because all we did was sit and listen to the teachers drawl on and on about safety drills and activity logs and whatnot; Snyder was eh, we didn't do much; Samson was AWESOME, TOTALLY solidified everything I've ever thought to myself about science (that it's not supposed to be as rigid as most teachers teach it), and also solidified my aspiration to be a diagnostician, AND he popped a balloon filled with a mystery gas with a lighter and it burst into flames xD; lunch was pretty good, I had nachos =D; waiting for the high school was as awkward as ever; Japanese was...interesting, we "learned" three phrases and how to count from 1 to 10 (I already knew >.>), and weren't allowed to speak in English (on the second day!?); math was ick, more ridiculous amounts of homework that I should really get to; the walk to the mall was easier today, since I had my iPod, and I had another peaceful hour at the coffee shop, this time with a coffee and a gigantic cookie =D; the busride home was much less complicated, now that I know what I'm doing; and ever since I got home, I've been on the computer. Which is bad, 'cause I still have homework to do. >.>
So yeah. Now, you're all caught up ("you" being the ghost who is the only person(?) who reads this xD'), and I've quelled my vicious need to rant (looooong time ago. I'm actually kind of annoyed with LJ now. I need to do something else >.>). Now I'm gonna finish that homework, maybe get some more editing done (if I can Dx). I feel so much younger now that school has started. All the annoying, tiring junior high drama. >.>' I like myself better when I'm all sophisticated and writing and spending time alone. People make me a bad person. (Not because of them, specifically, but because of how I react to them.) Ugh. I want to be on here ranting about Yullen again. Dx
Oh, and by the way, can anyone tell me how to do a fake cut?
