Today went well.
Albeit I had to change my schedule because core classes that are required to graduate were missing. Oh well. Got that fixed asap.
The first thing we did today was go to Advisory. We talked about dress code and what not and how things are. We talked about the new rules and what happened over the summer. Currently, no one will be allowed to leave the lunchroom during their lunch period, which usually wasn't the case last year. It is just a safety protocol really. I think they will lift that rule after a month or two.
My Advisor is not the best person. In fact, he is my least favorite person. My friends and I joked about what a loser he is and how he pressures the students to group up against each other. I apologized to one of my now current friends for a falling out we had. Things are actually going really well now. We cracked jokes about him. I found out he can only do 3 pullups. I almost have him beat. He also kinda just sent me out when I requested a schedule change, so I had to jump through hoops for that.
My first block (which I had changed after) was Honors Physics. We made paper airplanes as just a little warmup for class and discussed our general overview of the course and course load and what have you. One of my friends partnered up with me because they knew I was artistic and also a science minded person, despite hating the subject. Our plane won because I crafted it in such a way that the center of mass and lift would be close to each other. If you put it too far forward, the plane just flips up and then dives. If you put it too far back, it dives. I attempted to put it slightly behind the estimated center of mass mostly due to physical restrictions that come with building any sort of air craft, large or small. We won, like I stated, and we had bragging rights for the class period.
My second block was Beginner Guitar. For reasons that may not be obvious, I switched to Basic Foods. The same teacher who teaches Beginner Guitar is also my advisor. He heads up the music department and he is just a rather unpleasant person. He is an instigator of trouble and a petty old man. I'm sorry but I just don't like him for reasons I find to be valid and are also validated among my peers.
My third block was World History. The students are the same stereotypical obnoxious turd gobbling party whores but the teacher has cool facial hair and is also really tender in his demeanor. He is pretty cool. I feel like he is a teacher I will get along with. He doesn't assign homework, he doesn't yell, and he treats us like human beings. I can't even manage to treat people like human beings so to see someone do it is refreshing.
My fourth block is a study hall. I spent Lunch and advisory just changing my schedule. I really get along well with the Guidance Counselor so of course I would get my way as always. I'm actually really friendly to faculty but when I don't get the same courtesy back, I'm probably the most controversial pos there is. The Guidance Counselor knows why I hate my advisor. He hates him too. Its a win win because I have people who get it. 95% of the school gets it. But study hall is unbearable. The teacher who runs the class that is being held at that time is a snake. She is incredibly unclear with her directions. She is rude and snide and I really can't stand her. I don't even take her class and I hate her. She needs to learn to treat people how they should be, instead of pulling this constant high and mighty attitude because she just got married or because she is stereotypically "pretty."
We had advisory again today because it is the first day. We filled out a survey and hung out in one of the teacher rooms. It was cool. There was candy and air conditioning. My friends got me to join cheer with little convincing. I guess I am a cheer leader now because I signed up and went through practice. I got shoes and I am going to buy a shirt. I absolutely love cheer. One of my older friends (20's) helped me with my cartwheels. I am actually starting, for the first time in my life, to be able to do a cartwheel.
Overall I had a pretty good day. I hate my music teacher/advisor, but my Economics/World history teacher is great. Economics is what I am taking in place of Physics. I just can't wait for the year to unfold. I'm already really excited and I just want to face everything with a positive attitude. It was even like this last year. I'm not going to let depression get in the way of my happiness anymore. I don't care if it means drugs or therapy but I am going to get my life in order and be happy. I think a lot of people don't like to see that, and sometimes that is why I might get bullied.
