First day of school blues...
It was strange to walk into the high school today... okay, strange after I got over the fact I'm still pissed that I'm in the Lower Lot. All of my classmates were in H-Link, which is where it all started. To me, probably forever, H-Link will be the place I was inhabiting slightly suspiciously; a junior out among all the seniors. But it's also a reminder that a great majority of the people I spent last year/this past summer with are all at college now. Walking the halls was different too... I'm not really sure how, just that when I'm walking around I was struck that I really am part of the oldest bunch in the high school.I went to the assembly they had this morning; only because Sara and Michelle aren't quite the rebels I am (and Gilby and Blong both had sophomore homebases) and I didn't want to go alone to talk to someone. Raz wasn't there; it's not a big thing, just a reminder that things are different.
I like my classes and my teachers. Lang's going to be interesting; I'm really looking forward to it. In fact, it's probably the class I'm least worried about even if I think it'll be my worse grade overall. I'm trusting Niemi because everyone has told me to. I won't mind Peterson; really, I won't. European History and Psych have the lucky distinction of the classes I wanted to take the most, so that helps, but he reminds me of Hewitt, and although, I wasn't close with Hewitt or anything, but we got along and that's good enough. Qualley seems awesome (has to be an improvement over last year), and she has a plan in mind for AP Spanish so that's reassuring. It's a lot of interspersed work, and I know I just have to work on my speaking, but it's convincing myself to sound like an idiot. I'm relatively apathetic about Lundgrin and Chemistry; I honestly believe it has to be better than Physics (I'd take the class over again and get the same grade to have Gilby for another year though), but the first few weeks look like a lot of busy work and review, which is good because I'm a little shaky on Stioch, and I really want to know how I did on that "Pre-Test" aka the actual AP test of doom on the first day back. Of course now that I've talked with Pelkey, I wish I would have had time to take AP Stats in the class because he seems amazing. I'm kind of worried about Stats but I told him that I would come to him with any questions, and first semester at least he'll be there at least at the beginning of sixth hour if I have any questions.
Lade's gone too, which is about as hard as I expected it to be. Somehow I just kind of thought he would always be there and now that the school year has started, I can't pretend he's not. Oh well...
It was a good day, just a little lonely.

O Kara, I feel bad for you. Don't worry tho...things will perk up quickly as soon as the first few weeks of school have passed by.
Yeah, once things are busier it'll be okay. It was just today; constant reminders you aren't here. :) But I'll be okay.
I hope your whole year isn't depressing, I really do!!! We love you, and when you come to scout colleges, give me a ring. My phone does work, despite what I may or may not have implied to Chris. (Semi guiltily, but mostly fiendishly looks at ceiling...)
:) It was a little better today (although, I did have this strange pang when I went up to chemistry); it will just take getting used to, but if I can talk to most of you every couple days that will help.
Debate will probably help the most; lots of activity and not a lot of time to think.
Chris has a blog here FYI... Just letting you know.
You won't have problems with stats, trust me. Just skim the textbook, and read the study guide thing I gave you att he start of summer (and I mean read it, sit down and take a few hours to go through it in depth) and you'll do amazing. I believe in you. (Both humourous semi-sarcasm and serious sappyness intended)
