Week One

Done with week one.

Week two, coming right up.

I've decided to post at least once a week. The weekly posts will be counting the weeks until school is over.

Yeahh. That's how much I'm dis-liking it, at the moment.

Now, I've always loved my school. I've always said the name with pride. Granite Classical Tutorials, school for the gifted (haha.)

But recently, it hasn't felt like Granite Classical Tutorials.

This could be for a number of reasons, the primary being that we switched buildings this year. We used to stay at CPC, but we've now moved to BBC, since CPC is undergoing a renovation.

Also, some of my best friends are missing. Kayleen Kelly and Lindsay Anne Dransfield. Please, please pleeease come back. It isn't the same without you.

Classes and teachers are obviously different. New grade, new classes, new teachers. I really have nothing against any of the teachers or classes or anything. In fact, I really enjoy most of them. It's just different, and strange.

And, of course, stressing me OUT.

Summer was so wonderfully blissful. Blissfully wonderful. However you wish to phrase it. It was like nothing mattered. It was so free.

Now, I feel like this crazy stress-monkey that freaks out at the smallest things. Who does that? Who cries because they can't find a silly notebook? Yeahh. I do that.

And it isn't even all school-related. I mean, it's also people-related. Do you ever feel like you sometimes just can't stand people? I mean, that sounds terrible, but I feel that way rather frequently, at least recently. Summer, I didn't have to be around people if I didn't want to. School-year, it's kind of mandatory.

I'm a little bit worried, starting off the school year so pessimistically (I really hope that's a word, though I seriously doubt it). I've started procrastinating, and it's my first week. Sigh. I'm considering blocking my facebook or something. But if it isn't facebook distracting me, it's something else. For goodness sake, my own thoughts distract me. I think I may need help, for the distraction thing. ;)

I'm going to do a very quick summary of my first week, seeing as it's past ten and I need to get to sleep for school tomorrow.

Came to school on Monday, full of excitement. I was jittery and quite the social butterfly, as usual. I loved seeing my friends, and giving out as many hugs as possible.

Omnibus was rather terrifying, to tell you the truth. I think my teacher was trying to scare us on the first day. It certainly worked! ;) Omnibus is normally my favorite class... but we'll see what happens this year :)

Rhetoric was wonderful. Honestly. I love it already, after having just two classes. My teacher is renowned throughout the school as just being an excellent teacher... and I'm just really psyched for that class!

Chemistry was... well, chemistry. There isn't much to say. I've never been a science/math lover. And thus, I seriously doubt I will be a chemistry lover... but there's always a first!

Spanish was also wonderful. It was just very care-free, and to be honest... rather easy.

So that was my day. Wednesday was similar, but for some reason, more tiring. Andrew decided it would be funny to take off his shirt for a full ten seconds during break. I, of course, laughed hysterically, as I very often do when Andrew is around.

Oh Andrew. Andy and Brandon are some of my newest friends... and really, I love them to death. I can't explain it, but I've always had a soft spot for these two... and now, I've gotten just infinitely closer to them. I really do love them both, very much :)

So that was my first week.

Challenge? Look it up :)

Lord... PLEASE help me to take my own advice and not be anxious about ANYTHING. You are here. You've got it under control. Why do I need to worry? Why do I need to be a little stress-monkey?

Clue... I really don't.
