Thank You

    This post is especially for everyone I have met and have gotten to know this year! Thank you for making it the best year of my high school career! I will never forget all the memories and newly formed friendships. It's sad that I was only here for a year but that is what helped make it truly special and amazing. I thought I would share my very first day here with you.

     I was so nervous, you wouldn't even believe it. On the car ride over, I shook as the nerves pulsed through my body. I walked in and went straight to history. It was so weird to see so many kids and not have to wear uniform anymore. I only knew one person in my history class that morning and none in the art block that followed. I was supposed to hang out with my friend from history class at lunch but then he rounded up all of his friends. It was beyond awkward for me to follow behind with all my books and bags (and if you've seen what I brought to school this year, you'd understand) and have them talking and looking back at me. Somewhere before the field I gave up and just stopped walking. I threw my stuff on the ground and ate on the wooden rail by the side door. Even more embarrassing. I had my usual lunch of pasta and there was another kid sitting there too. Then there was another . A bee or a wasp or whatever you want to classify my worst nightmare as. It kept flying at me and around me. I flipped out. I tried to avoid it and walked around with my thermos looking highly paranoid. But it kept following me and the other guy sitting there pointed it out to me. I was thoroughly mortified.

     Then I had my first English class with Ms.P. I was the first student there and I still remember what she said to me.

"What school did you go to before?"
"Relevant"
"That's irrelevant now"

     Something along those lines. In the first journal assignment we did, I wrote about my lunch experience. Anyways, I went from there to French where we did a couple getting to know you exercises and what not. I was very intimidated by how good everyone was at it. Over the semester though, I worked hard and got better.

      It's been a year of personal accomplishments and things I never thought would happen. Good luck to everyone in the future! Keep blogging, people!!!!! Have a great summer! :)
