The Last First Day

For the fourth time in my entire life, I've walked through doors (they changed the entrance) expecting to find something...different. Every year, it's something else.
Freshmen year, I was expecting to find some of my old friends leave and for me to gain friends that left their old ones.
Sophomore year, I was expecting tons of drama that would tear me apart from one limp to another.
Junior year, I was expecting to make new friends, regain old ones, and be active.
This year, I walked through those doors and expected for my world to be flipped upside down this year. I expected for my first last day to go amazingly, and I've got to say, it did.

For my first post on the 180 Day Blog, I'd like to rip off Brittany Royce, a friend of mine since Freshmen year. She rated each of her classes on a scale of one to ten, and gave a reason why. So Brittany, thanks for the idea.

B1- Adv Comp W131 (Oliver)- Now when people told me that Mr. Oliver was basically sarcasm incarnate, I wasn't expecting him to be. I mean, sarcastic yeah, but not that sarcastic. He's made of it. The 29 minutes we had in his class was hilarious. The fact that IO is in there with me just makes it better. Rating=8/10

B2-Honors English 11 (Bunnell)- I'm not expecting much from this class, except to pass it. Maybe I'll like it as time goes on, like Scini's class last year. Meredith and Kayla being in there helps. Rating=6/10

B3-Ap Psychology (Leswing)- Ok, this class, I was waiting for. And not only because I had homework for it during the summer. Leswing is an amazing teacher, and he started the class out sweet. I have it with Pebbles, Schyler, Jamie, and Lindsey. Also Rachel Irvine, but she sits away from us. Rating=9/10

B4-German 1 (Clements)- A quirky teacher speaking in a foreign language, with Sammy and IO being there. This class gets major points for that. Rating=7/10

G1-Japanese 2 (Bringerud)- I'm getting sick of Japanese, but Branden, Hermes and Penguin are in it, plus B-rud is cool. Rating=6/10

G2-Algebra 2 (Fortuna)- I don't know how I feel about this one yet, so we'll get to it whenever. Fortuna is decent, and I've got this class with Mandi and Matt Hurley. Rating=7/10

G3-Earth/Space Science (Gummer)- Gummer is letting Taylor Walden, Rachel Irvine, and Matt Hurley sit together for all semester if we all get A's. Motivation. Plus Kayla Andis rocks the world. Rating=8/10

G4-Creative Writing (Heck)- Seems like it's going to be a good class. Elise and a few others are in it. Schyler purposely sits far away from me (Joking, chill). Rating=7/10

Over all classes=8 1/2 out of 10

So, the first day was cool. Sure, I had the same locker for three years and they moved everyone to a new one, but it's actually helpful. The only class I have past the mid hallways is Psychology, and my new locker is right where I need it for classes. I get to have Blue Lunch with friends, and Gold lunch with Ellen. I've got friends in all classes. It's a good start to the school year, and drama hasn't even started.

After school, Anthony and I went over to Ellen's where we hung out with her, her little sister, and Beth. Much fun. Except the trampoline likes hurting people.

Postscript: The picture above feature IO Batka after school. She called dibs on the first pic. Luckily for me, she is wacky, which metaphors the chaos of the first day back.
