Today is Friday, the last day of the first week. It's crazy how time flies... one moment I'm a seventh grader at Mark Twain, & the next I'm walking the halls of Silverton High just trying to find all of my classes without getting lost. They say high school is hard. They say high school is scary. And you know what, it is everything you've heard, all jumbled in one. It sucks but it's great. Your day can be going downhill, but then something crazy happens and you're lifted up almost immediately. It's a bipolar relationship one has with high school, really. But it's definitely something you wouldn't want to miss.
Okay; so I just got in from the first home football game. Well, I've been to football games, haven't we all?! There's one thing I have to say: it's a LOT different when you're the one sitting in the student section of the bleachers. You're there, you're it. Everyone on the outside looks up and thinks, jeeze I can't wait until I'm up there! After all these years of waiting, it's even better than I had hoped. I love the feel of the crowd, the unity. One team, one dream. We've got school spirit and we're proud!
Another thing, all those rumors about freshman... for the most part, they aren't true. Sure, we all get pushed around in the hallways, but it's everyone- not just the "little kids". I mean heck, it's gonna happen- there are 1,200+ students walking through every minute! And if someone's got your back, you're covered. Assemblies are also the best. They get you so pumped and bring everyone together (that is, if you know how to have fun).
So far, so good. I've got tons of homework, I love my english class, I'm the only freshman in my geometry, and I see everyone in one place. It's great & I am so ready for the second week!
Until next time...
