Project: New Kid.. step 1: preparation

January 30, 2010
So lets start off with,, i've grown up in a christian school all my life, (except for my second year of kindergarten at Lone Pine Elementary,, but that doesn't count)... So at the end of the first semester of my sophomore year my parents came to a conclusion that they wanted me to "see the real world" outside of the naive private school bubble. They wanted me to know what's out there and learn how to deal with it now, when i still live under my parents' influence, rather than in college when im on my own and potentially overwhelmed by the huge revealing of worldly things shoved at me. So it was then decided that on February 2nd, 2010 (start of second semester) i would be the new kid at North Medford High School.
Honestly i don't think i've ever been more nervous in my whole entire life! That's 197 months that i've been alive, and i've never been as nervous as i am right now! I actually made myself sick last night just thinking about the big change. I always say that change is good, changing the color of my hair, the length of it, my attire, the color of my nail polish, etc. but never have i made a change as dramatic or as life changing as leaving Cascade. Leaving my security blanket. Twelve years attendance at a private school (pre-k through 10th). But no turning back now, it has already been decided, determined, registered, and prepaid! =/
Mother and i went to my new school to officially register me, get my parking sticker, my schedule, student body card, map, the works.. School is going to be like a game, a timed game.. The buildings are set up like puzzle pieces or a maze, with left turns, right turns, wrong turns, and dead ends. I must get from class A to class B within a seven minute time limit, practically blindfolded because i wasn't born with a sense of direction and i seem to always get lost. So if any North students are reading this,, and u see me at school looking like i have no clue where im going, it means i probably have no clue where im going. haha! so feel free to help. =D

Here's my schedule:
period 01 is World Studies with Weinberg.
period 02 is Spanish 2 with Patterson.
period 03 is Personal Health with Stevenson.
period 04 is Honors Algebra 2 with Cate.
period 05 is Physical Science with Black.
period 06 is Academic Tutor with Breswick.
period 07 is English 2 with Robinson.

so i start school on Tuesday the 2nd of February.. I'll inform you how it goes as soon as i find out for myself.
