The 1st and 2nd!

Sorry i didn't write on my first day. I just had so much going on! Ok here goes:

1st Day
I was supposed to follow Cari today but she ended up not being in school that day so i followed a girl named Lexie. She took me to her classes that day. So her first class was social studies. I walked in a saw 2 of my friends that i know so I thought it wasn't going to be so bad.
(1st day wasn't that interesting so there isn't much but anyway...)
Then after a few classes we went to lunch. She has A lunch which is the same lunch I have but it starts at 10:30!!!!!! I have to eat lunch at 10:30!!!!!!!! I'm not hungry then and neither is anybody else we all just sit, talk and eat cookies. So after lunch we went to her other classes which I can't remember but I saw alot of people I know. It was all very confusing and loud and there were alot of people but i got through.
So after the first day I got my schedule so here it is:
1st hour: Art
2nd hour: MS Office
3rd hour: Honors English
LUNCH
4ht hour: Math
5th hour: social studies
6th hour: Science
7th hour: PE
So that's my schedule.
2nd Day
Today there was a little more. Today I went to my own classes but Lexie left her classes a little early to come take me to my next class. I went to Art first and met the teacher (Mrs. Wax) and we got started on wathing slides of paintings that a man named Billyo O'donnel painted of Missouri then for the rest of the time we got to do sketches of what we wanted to paint a picture of so I sketched a bridge. But there were certain things we had to incorporate into the picture too. She has a ton of pictures of things in boxes so we can just go through them and look and something we want to sketch.
Then after Art I went to MS Office which is working with computers and PowerPoint stuff and typing. The teacher is Mrs. Curtner. So i just worked on catching up on the typing they had already done so it was pretty easy.
Next i went to Honors English with Mrs. Jones. We listed to the stories that some of the students made for assignments and we have a test on vocabulary words on Monday. These are the words that I have to know: joust, infamy, nepotism, fleece, parry, periphery, entomology, ostracize, capacious, fickle, laconic, harrowing, aptitude, endure, chronic, giddy, gossamer, irascible, cower, queue. I don't really know those words!
Then I have lunch which isn't anything special. Then i go to Math. They are doing something different then what i was doing so it's harder. The teacher is Mr. Bostwick and they are on geometry but i already know something they are going to work on next month =) yea me!!
Next is social studies with Mr. Aulgur. We are learning about Andrew Jackson and the Trail of Tears. I sit next to the stake president's son Jarod who is also 13.
Next is Science with Mrs. Frearson. This is the only class i actually have with Lexie. We are learning chemistry. We worked today with graph stuff and putting things in water and measuring the ml and stuff. We also did a bunch of stuff with blue, yellow and red water and we used the water to make all the colors of the rainbow with them in order and they all have 1o ml of water in them it's pretty cool!
Last is PE with Mrs. Baker. I have PE everyday so I can be awesome and strong and athletic and stuff. =D We didn't really have PE today because they are doing a sound check in the gym so they kicked us out so at least we didn't have to change. We watched a really interesting movie about bones and muscles. Did you know that when you are in a life and death situation your brain sends signals to your body to adjust. Like if you had a really heavy rock on top of you and you were about to fall off a cliff your brain can make the choice on its own to make all the ligaments in your arm move and stuff at once to push it off of you??? A 1200 pound rock!!
So that was my day! =)

Change...again

So for whatever reason my parents have decided to put me in...(pause for effect)...PUBLIC SCHOOL!!!!!! Oh joy I think as I am being told this Friday morning an hour before we are going to leave to meet the 8th grade guidence counselor at West Jr. High. My mom gives this long speech about going to public school and how I will make friends and yada yada but this is all she is really saying: "You are going full time at West on Tuesday. We are leaving in an hour to go to the school."...yeah...

So here is what I know so far:
  1. The first day (Tuesday) a girl named Cari is going to take me to her classes and show me where everything is and how to do stuff.
  2. The classes I'm taking are: math, social studies, science, honors english, FACS, PE, and art.
  3. The second day I will go to my own classes but Cari will leave her classes early to come and get me and take me to my next class. (Thank you Cari!)
  4. I know someone in all the lunch hours!!!!

That's about all I know so far. I won't know anything else until Tuesday. Here is what I don't know yet:

  1. Where my locker is
  2. What hour my classes are in
  3. When my lunch is (a, b, or c)
  4. I DON'T KNOW CARI!!!!
I will have to post after my first day. Tuesday is a big day for me. I have to be at the school at 7:40. After I get home from school I will have to go to Taekwondo and it's also my papa's birthday!!
WISH ME LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!
