So, I started high school on Tuesday and so far it's been pretty cool. My teachers are really cool. My algebra teacher explains things really well, the English teacher is really laid-back, chill, and has pretty cool ways of thinking, the science teacher, though not as cool as the one from 8th grade (who was the most absolute bestest teacher ever!), is nice, not shrill or too strict, and my History teacher, who is completely opposite and strict and "mean" is awesome! I really like my history teacher. Everyone hates her, but agrees that her classes teach a lot, but I like her and I think she finds me okay. Maybe it's because she had my brother in her class. I dunno; teachers that my brother had usually like me.
But anyway, on the next day, I have a quiet/structured study hall with a nice teacher. Then I have freshman academy, which is basically a different name for freshman-only mandatory health class. But the teacher is young, nice, and very enthusiastic. Then after lunch, there's animation graphics, the class where I'm one of only four girls (besides the teacher). And I wouldn't say that the teacher is nice... She's downright mean. But is a sarcastic way. She doesn't mean anything by it and is really cool. On the first day, we started watching cartoons made by the makers of "Wallace and Grommet" to get an idea of claymation, what we're going to be doing first. Possibly our only group project for the semester. Groups haven't been assigned yet, and I hope that the teacher assigns them, because there's only kids from the City School in there, and I'm the only person that came from Cow Town, so I don't know anyone.
Oh, and then I have Honors Spanish, and the teacher is really friendly. That's pretty much all I can say about her. Oh, and that she seems like a good teacher. I mean, she's teaching an Honors class, after all.
But there's something else that has set my mind at unease. I'm crushing on someone. Upperclassman, in Marching Band, new student. Probably from the big move that Pfizer families made; we've got sooo many new students from Michigan!
But anyways, I call it an illogical crush. Why? Because I've only seen the guy around and I've never even talked to him. For all I know, he could be a big jerk.... But he doesn't really give off that kind of energy. Or maybe I'm just reading body language; All the times I've seen him, he's been quiet, shoulders kind of hunched, but a lot of teens walk like that because we all have pretty bad posture. Nothing to do with personality. Well, not always.
So, I don't know what he's like. And we haven't interacted at all... He probably only knows my name from the one class we were in together that he switched out of because of a scheduling glitch (first day, we had history together, but it's a freshman/sophmore-ish class, and he's a junior, so of course he'd be taking a different history class.
... Or there's a chance that he knows OF me from the band roster. Dunno. But why would an upperclassman talk to a freshman like me? Unless they were a friend of my brother's? (I actually do talk to a lot of upperclassmen... But only Dave's good friends.) This guy and Dave don't really know each other. They just know OF each other, since Dave's the brass captain.
Again, why would a guy like him talk to me?
Although, and I'm not sure if I just imagined it or not, but last band practice while we were listening to an announcement, I thought I saw his eyes stray to mine. But I didn't keep looking to see if they were, because if he wasn't looking at me and caught me looking at him, then that'd be an awkward moment....
Now, if anybody comments and tells me to just talk to him, I'm planning on it.... Saturday, band practice. Just a little, "Hi" and maybe an inquiry about his schedule and not being in the same history class and how Ms. History Teacher (not saying name for security reasons) wondered where he was because he was still on her attendance sheet.... or something....
Anybody have any thoughts? School stuff? ......Please leave a comment or two....
Anyway, I just MIGHT make another entry next week, if I can. Now I'm off to find some Lego dudes for Animation class tomorrow....
This is Horse, signing out.
