First Day of School
Written: September 6, 2007 at 9:45PM EST
So I’m a day late. Doesn’t matter really, everyone under age of 18 knows the feeling: no more sleeping in, no more late nights, no more days of doing nothing. Although that sounds rather negative, there were some good points about the restart of school. First off, I would have to say are my new classes. This semester my classes aren’t bad at all - and in fact, most appear to be rather simple (albeit its only the second day, but considering those in my classes, I don’t think it’ll be bad. My schedule is as follows:
Period 1/2 - Astronomy - Mr. Saks
Period 3/4 - Creative Writing/Journalism - Ms. Ferrari
Period 5/6 - Lunch/Activity
Period 7/8 - Health - Ms. Grap
Period 9/10 - Child Development - Mrs. Fraley
To be honest, I didn’t really choose Child Development, but my counselor believed it would be a good class to take if I plan to pursue English Education after High School. So far it doesn’t seem too bad, although I am outnumbered 22:1 (Girl/Guy ratio).
Astronomy isn’t bad either. The kids in my class are a bit on the annoying side, but I do know a vast majority of them. The same is true with Creative Writing/Journalism. Health class so far seems like Kindergarten and from the description given by the teacher, it’ll remain so. The amount of coloring and games is a bit out there - and again I know most of my class. Then Child Development ends the day. Mrs. Fraley is ALWAYS late because she has a food class further down the hall and she has to make sure the room isn’t going to burn the school down. 
Basically the class is just about the best ways to raise children and how to teach/discipline them without scarring them for life. Aside from being completely outnumbered, the class isn’t bad. And once the temperature begins to drop for Autumn, it’ll be even better. 90 degree school days aren’t fun at all.
Looking back on the majority of this post, I guess I can’t say schools horrible at all. Its such a big change to actually have classes you chose instead of ones chosen for you… now I just need to get my license and I’ll be set (I HATE the bus).
