school

So. I started school on thurdsday. That was not so fun (the school part) the friends part was fun. OK i have to explain this part a bit. It is a nerinx tradition that on the first day seniors decide on some theme and dress like that (this year it was senior citizens, get it? haha) and we get there early (6:30 am). then we wait for everyone to arrive. We draw on the sidewalks with chalk, set up games for the underclassmen, etc... We also get to have a dj there so that was cool cause we all were dancing around. Then when the underclassmen start getting there we make them do things. i.e. push us in wheelchairs, have walker races (all going with the theme...), sing the we love you seniors song, bow a little, etc etc... It is fun for us and funny/annoying for the juniors and sophomores because they thought they would get out of it becuase they arent freshman, and then the freshman are just confused and cute. So that was fun and quite hilarious. But another tradition is that all the seniors throw parties the night before and pull all nighters. So I got about an hour of sleep. I think that was actually worse than no sleep because when I woke up my body wasn't happy. So i came really close to sleeping all day long. We had a huge assembly where we basically go over new rules/changes of this year and stuff like that. Then we have each of our classes for 20 minutes. ANNOYING THING!! ok one new rule is that we can't carry around bookbags this year, we have to have them in our locker. So just before the assembly I put my bag right outside my locker (not obstructing traffic mind you) because I was late for the assembly and I couldn't remember my combination at the moment. So I come back after the assembly and my bag is gone, along with about 100 other girls who did the same hting as me. It turns out the associate principal and teachers roamed the halls during the assembly picking up ANYTHING slightly bag-like that was outside a locker and putting it in the associate principals office. We had to go to the office and wait for her so we could get our stuff back. I was so annoyed!! She also said that today was a freebie. After the first day if you have to go retrieve your bookbag from the office you get an automatice detention!!!!! AH!!!!! So that was really really annoying. That was basically the day. I got to go home at 1:00. yay. So I slept for 1 and 1/2 got up, ate, and went to work. That wasn't pleasant because I had to teach 3 and a 1/2 classes. The first class is really cute 4-6 year olds. I just help in that class (keep the kids in lines etc). The next is 7-10 year olds. I don't like this one because I have to teach them actual karate stuff but some of them have the shortest attention spans. its so annoying. then i teach 10-16 year old beginners. That isn't so bad because now they are sane but just stupid (about karate stuff) since they are beginners. Then I had to start the 10-16 year old advanced class. That was so annoying because I know that they know what they are supposed to be doing, but they were being lazy because I was teaching and not mr. jarnigan (the sensei). So yeah..... frustrating. but mr. j. took over in the middle of that class so i could go do HOMEWORK! (bloodcurdling screams). So I was about to fall asleep sitting there doing hw. Then i got off work, went home, did homework, and went to bed at 10:00! woo that was a long day. yeah. so Tom asked me how the first day was and this is my answer (i was to tired to write all this out when he asked). Well, I have to go now because the laundry is done and it is almost time for me to go to my karate class. :)
