there's a first time for everything;

Today was a big day: the first day of my junior year AND the first day of my first job.

School: I wasn't really nervous for school this year. My schedule consists of the following: Pre-calc (a great way to start the morning), Study Hall (I T.A. for one of my past teachers), Piano (I'm excited for this :)), Physics (with a teacher who tries way to hard to be funny), Spanish III, Lunch, English 11 Honors (I turned in 325 points worth of homework today and I have a test tomorrow, and if that's any indication of what the year is going to be like...well, it was nice knowing you), and U.S. History. Not too bad. The only thing that I'm too worried about is English, and possibly Physics. Quote from my Physics teacher: "There won't be too much homework in this class, just around thirty minutes to an hour every night." Uh, what? I really hope he is exaggerating. Anyways, most of my classes are in the new building (the "advanced studies" hehe) and it seriously feels like a different school. It's almost annoying to go to the classes that are in the other parts of the school. Gosh. It feels like college..not that I would know what college felt like, but this is what I imagine it to be like. Plus, there's sweet roll-y chairs ;). On Thursday, I get a school-issued laptop, and I am PUMPED. It will be awesome. End of story.

Job: I work as a counselor at the after-school program at the elementary school that's next to my school. After school, me and another girl my age (who started today also), went together and then we chilled at the school with her older sister (the head counselor) until the kiddies got off school. Kids are so cute. Seriously. There's a down syndrome girl who is super cute and funny. We're already best friends. We fist pumped. I'm sure I will have lots more stories as I get to know these kids. Just you wait. I bet you're excited ;)
