*Sigh*

So my first last day of high school is officially over. And, to my surprise, it was very different from my previous first days. Normally, I'm very nervous, and antsy about every aspect of the day. Today, on the other hand, was a completely different story. I got on the bus (yes, the bus, can't afford a car of my own), calm as ever, and upon arrival gladly retreated to my Advisory Room... which has always been a bit of a respite for me in school.

When I arrived, I basically sat down, received my planner and important papers as usual, and just mingled for the next hour. No long lectures about school rules, not any of that crap. It was a relief, but kind of abnormal for what I'm used to. I guess being a senior does have its perks...

Next, I proceeded to my first block class (which is also my second block class), Writing Workshop, and greeted my teacher and some friends I hadn't seen in a few months. The two blocks actually dragged on for what felt like forever, despite the fact that I have one of my favorite teachers in two of my favorite classes. Call me crazy, but too much energy and happiness on a Monday morning, is NOT a good thing. At least I did get to talk to my teacher about havingmy owncolumn in the newspaper, which looks like it should work out. Yay!

My next destination: American Politics! Turns outmy teacher mysteriously disappeared for about two weeks, so I'm stuck with a substitute for the next week. Lucky for me, that substitute is Mr. Thomas, one of the most beloved elderly substitute teachers in the district! I guess I can deal with that. Besides, the class looks to be one of the more interesting classes I have, despite the fact that half of the people in my class seem to be brainless morons.

And last but not least, AP English! I was actually pleasantly surprised with this class. I wasn't expecting a whole lot, but my teacher truly fascinates me. He's witty and eccentric, and creepy at the same time. Either way, he appears to be an effective teacher. I found his lecture today to be fairly interesting. I have high hopes for this class.

As a whole, I suppose my day was pretty good. Not spectacular, but then again, what first day is spectacular? First days of school are notorious for their long boring lectures about rules and syllabi. In that case, I guess I didn't expect much to begin with. I am, however, hoping for a fun-filled and productive semester! I'm off to an okay start, thus far.
