First Day of School

The 10th first day of school...or 11th considering kindergarden....or 12th considering preschool...or 13th considering my birth...

anyways
well what i can say about this particular first day is that i don't feel too much like an idiot
last year when i just started at a totally new school, it was a totally new experience - to actually know what what it's like to be a real idiot
walking around now i'm totally confident when and where my classes were located
...and i get a locker (which when i say "it's a big deal", kinda makes me sound like those cup-holder loving people)
the thing was, last year, i didn't have a locker and it was a total medical disaster
and by that...i mean my back. all the books - EVERYTHING was stuffed into that backpack
making me look like i was a turtle - or one of those drama/theater geeks walking around in costumes...yet even they didn't look as ridiculous as i did

and unlike last year, i can honestly say that i don't hate my classes/teachers
however, it's not like i love them either
there was this one teacher that began her introduction speech by talking about how she'll give us less homework because she understands the pressure of school and that she wont tell us how to take notes or watever because she only care about the end product. she ended the speech how she quit her job at Cisco to follow her dream of being a teacher.

well by the time she ended, i thought a little birdie was gonna land on my shoulder and tweet (i mean an actually tweet) hello to me.

i hadn't finished the thought before BAM. the paper that she just passed out while i was daydreaming said that TESTS/QUIZES IS 70% OF MY GRADE

then i was like "I KNEW IT!" in a accusatory way - not in a Eureka way...
definitely not in a Eureka way...

never trust a person THAT nice....you gotta get some research (stalking) first
see she's indian...i was really starting to think that an Indian Math Teacher (those are some big words...it's a lot to take in....a LOT) this nice was a little fishy...and i was right
i stepped right into the trap like a fool

and then i have a CHINESE SCIENCE TEACHER
again....so very very very....big...vast...humungous words.....and a lot to take in...
so i have a indian math teacher and a chinese science teacher....(she's super strict btw; she started the class by telling us that no matter how much we smile at her, she's gonna look at you straight in the eyeballs and tell you that she's not gonna raise your grades)

two extreme kinds of people...meet two extreme fields of study
have you ever seen bull rhinoceroses charge at eachother?
the impact is similar to this...

anywho, i get a really chill pe teacher who likes to give us nicknames....unless we don't want them....i nearly got "sushi"

and told us that all we had to do to get an A was: show up, dress out, and play
sounds like preschool
i was like "THANK GOD!!!" (and i mean get on my knees and look up at the sky...and crying of joy)

so that was my first day
some good parts
some bad parts
like when you microwave your lunch and it doesn't get heated right so some parts are hot and some parts are cold....
