first day of school = success?

so today was the first day of my sophomore year
and i'm scared. 

surprisingly, chemistry isn't one of the classes i'm worried about. it's algebra 2/trig honors,
world history honors and spanish 1. 

let's go through each class one by one, shall we? we'll go in order.

english 10 honors: i really liked mrs. burns. she seemed really cool to begin with and i liked her much more once she referred to tyler hansbrough as a tool. 

world history honors: this class seems fun, but it'll be a lot of work. i like history though, but i'm horrid at dates.

dance 3 (now honors): the dance room was re-done!! marley floor, heck yes!!

lunch: i'm so glad that i have a lot of friends in 4th lunch, but it's too early for lunch. normal people don't eat lunch so early.

chemistry: mrs. smith is awesome and seems agreeable. hopefully i won't get sick as much as i did last year.

theology 10: mr. dmytriw (pronounced "duh mi tru." i know. i don't get that either.) seems like a more monotone and religious and certainly straight version of mr. hartman, my 6th grade advisor. we'll see how this class progresses.

spanish 1: well. i don't speak spanish. it is not my choice to take this class. i was the only sophomore in there and i was surrounded by freshman who have been taking spanish since they were in kindergarten. i don't like to get bested by anyone, particularly people younger than me. while in this class, i learned that there was going to be a german class but plans for that failed. if i had known, i totally would have taken german! i know lots of people that i could practice with. and hello! "kindergarten", "dachshund" and "wiener schnitzel." that's all german! 

i had a conversation with mme. smith after school about why i wasn't taking french. she told me that everyone was wondering where i was (since i helped everyone a lot last year) and that they all missed me. she also told me, "je ne peux pas voir que vous disant "hola!" c'est dommage. you are so good at french!"

i miss it. at least some of the words are similar to french. but it sounds so... raw. 
i agree with madame smith. c'est dommage.

algebra 2/trig. honors: our teacher wasn't there and won't be in for like two weeks. party?

i got all my binders. they're all lime green. i also got some notebooks. one has aquaman and batman on it (that's for chemistry) and another has michael scott (steve carrell's character on the office) with 'leadership' under the picture. that is for world history. i also got one to cheer me up in algebra. it's from the HSM3 collection and has zac effron (or zaquisha as he is lovingly known) on it. 

tres mignon.
