School: A Pain and a Blessing

I feel the need to bow for an applause right now. That may be due to the fact that I just finished my first day of school as a Junior (I know, I know. You may now applaud. ) or it may be for the fact that even though today was only the first day of school I still had to take TWO tests (yes, you heard write. TESTS!!! Haha, did you get my little pun there? Write and right? Okay, never mind, back to my story). Now let me tell you, these tests were crazy hard. One was a Latin test that was supposed to asses how much latin we had retained over the summer. My teacher laughed when he collected our papers and said he expected that most of us would only score five of the questions right. Great. The second test was seventy-four stinking questions. And the whole thing was over complete nonsense that know one knew the answers to! Most of the questions asked us to solve for complex equations about the periodic table and other gibberish. I will be absolutely surprised if I get even ten questions on that test right. Today was a day of highs and lows that's for sure. I started the day with Show Choir at 6:50 AM this morning, then went to Latin 2, AP US, Chamber Choir, Lunch, and finished with Chemistry Honors and my teacher's horrible pre-test. Overall there were some good moments throughout the day; seeing my latin teacher goof off like usual, getting to sit next to my best friend in AP US, hanging out with all the awesome choir kids, seeing Nathan getting ready for his first class at Rock Bridge. All sweet moments in an otherwise hectic day. Ahhh... did I mention I have homework? Homework that I should probably finish now before it gets too late. Alrighty folks its time for me to sign off so I'll just end with a little forewarning to all those about to start school. Make of it what you want but remember, school is only as fun as how much work you put into it. Good luck!

Love,
