Yo!
Today was my freshman orientation, and I spent the time being intimidated in my own special way. I hadn't been in school for so long that I forgot how cliquey it is. It was interesting to see everyone gathered in their own personal circles of friends, oblivious to anything else. I, of course, knowing me, spent the time before orientation walking around and talking to myself in angry, rushed mutters. Super sane.
Then I saw someone I recognized, armed with my enthusiastic gasp and an, "Oh, shit!" Which led into the Christa lacking in the confidence factor and all hellos were invisible. So yeah. Class hasn't even started and I'm already shooting myself in the head.
Group stuff was interestingly useless because our group leader was irresponsible.. I am SO getting lost on the first day of school. I just know that I'm pretty sure I chose all of the wrong classes and I'm going to end up fixing that on the first day. After today, I really don't know whether I should look forward to the first day or shoot myself before I have to face it.
Oh, but here's something. Does this sound familiar, freshmen of Mount Pleasant and Overfelt: one staff member stands in front of the freshmen, talking about the significance of time is like money. "If you waste one day, it's like wasting one dollar," they say, ripping the dollar, causing everyone to complain about wasting money. And then they threaten the life of a twenty dollar bill, saying that it's like your freshman year! But everyone in the audience flips out for them not to, so they don't, and the freshmen are left inspired. Yeah, MTHS had that spiffy li'l thing going on too, and my mouth was agape during it, "This seems familiar." Is that like, some sorta freshman orientation tradition throughout California? Crazy. I feel gypped.
So everyone else is starting tomorrow? Well, I've already said this a few days ago, but good luck to y'all. I, fortunately, have another week on my hands.
Today's lesson: If you won't stop to smell the roses, at least stop to say hello.
i'm not just deaf and dumb, i'm staring at the sun
Bye for now.

High school is suppose to be the greatest four years of your life. (rolls eyes) It's so cliche, but it's true. Haha, I feel invisible too when I'm in a crowded room full of strangers, but who doesn't? My friend is going to be a Senior in Independence High and her school started.. thank goodness I have 17/16 days left till I go back. Whoot. But anyway.. just take it easy and relax. Just have fun with it and go with the flow, then you'll see how much High School can either change you or break you.
^_^ By the way- Your comments always bring a smile to my face.
