The Cool Kid

Okay, so judging by this post that I'm writing, I think it's safe to say that I survived my first day of high school. Crazy, huh? I've gone from a eighth grader to a freshman, and I don't have a scratch on me. Okay, so enough this boring stuff, let's get on to the fun part-- My first day!

So basically, I started out in Tech Tools 101-- tools for your future. I was the only kid who raised my hand when the teacher asked if any of us had used microsoft word before. 

Is it possible to be in the bonehead tech tools class?

Anywho, after that we went to a freshman pep rally, which was, unfortunately, very boring. Then, I hightailed it to band, where we rehearsed some marching band pieces (I'm in the pit, percussion - drums). That was also kind of boring. Went to choir, which was sorta interesting, since we were talking about upcoming concerts. Then, I went to fourth period.

So, somehow, the varsity soccer coach, Don Larg (pronounced large), who is the boss of my JV coach, Jenny Vasine, is my pre-ap biology teacher. I can tell it's gonna be a cool class!

Anyway, this kid walks in late with his headphones in, basically acting like he couldn't care less about the class. Larg tells him to sit down in the front. The kid does so, chuckling.

"No, buddy," Larg says, "On the ground." So he sits down on the ground for the entire period.

After a series of smart aleck answers from Mr. Cool sitting uncomfortably on the ground, Larg somehow gets on the subject of colleges.

"I'm going to to a local college," Mr. Cool says. Larg scoffs.

"Like that'll happen."

"But I'm going to run at college!" Mr. Cool Protests.

"What're you gonna do, run around the campus?"

I almost peed my pants.

After this eventful period, I had lunch with almost complete strangers, but made friends with two of them, so that made me feel better. Next was pre-ap integrated math 2, in which I was told that I was a "smart freshman". Do I have to be something other than a freshman to be smart?

My last class of the day was pre-ap freshman english, which, I predict, will be very, very interesting. My teacher is one of those rare people who are so wierd and yet such great teachers. 

So that, in short, was my first day at Shire High. Tomorrow, I start again at dawn. If I don't, I'll miss my wagon! Until tomorrow,
