First Week Recap
This has probably been the busiest week of my life. Being away from home from 7am - 4pm every day really takes its toll on your physical and mental strength. I am exhausted to say the least.
The year has started out nicely. I’ve been cast in a play, and joined the school chorus, so those “performing” constants remain in my life. I’m glad to have the opportunity to stay on stage. Having a class in a theatre every day is a really glorious thing.
All of my classes, aside from Bible, have around 20 kids in them. The energy in the room is always really refreshing. It’s nice to have people to work off and empathize with constantly.
I’ve already had 3 tests: an AP Government reading quiz, an AP Literature essay test, and an AP Calculus concept test. My AP Government grade was a pleasant surprise, my AP Literature, unknown, and my AP Calculus….disappointing. Looks like I may need someone to help me out with that “math” stuff…ugh..
Friend-making is always happening. The most notable relationships formed this week were with the “guy who said ‘hi’ to me in the hallway between every single period on the first day,” the “my parents are late picking me up too” carpool guy, and the “red head who gave me a chocolate bar.” Yes, I do know their real names. Although, I must tell you, this week has been extremely testing of my name-to-face recall abilities. My memory has failed me a few times and embarrasment has proceeded. But, the excuse of “I’ve met a thousand people this week, so sorry!” seems to be working nicely.
Tomorrow, the juniors and seniors will travel to a camp site in Georgia for our annual beginning-of-the-year Spiritual Retreat. Everyone seems really excited about it. I’m gonna go and make some more new friends!
I’ll let you know if I have any success…
