First day of school all over

Mood: Tired (yeah what's new)
What's on: "Extraordinary Machine"- Fiona Apple


Today didn't turn out as bad as I had imagined, but still boringly long. I left my house around 7:50; the usual; I got the school a little after the first bell. As I stood in front of my locker, I completely forgot my combo. Great, but I should be able to manage French without my book... Granted, I left my locker and headed into first hour..

French
Our class now has 14 people compared to 24 some from last semester---oh what a surprise. Fortunately, there was an anecdote today to the usual boring class: As we worked in groups to learn vocabs of random products Eagin gave us, Timmerman decided take a match from the "une boite d'allumettes " and lit it after much disclaimer from the rest of our group. Rest assure, the potassium chlorate made its mark. As he tried to fan away and disperse the odor, Madame walked over to check on our progress. I'm pretty sure she was really bad at realizing a match was just lit. But Maria, from the table next to us, was smart enough to state, "Okay...who lit the matches?" Thanks Maria, you're really smart. Madam ended up confiscating the matches with a dumbfound smile on her face.

I was smart enough to find the slip of paper with my locker combo printed on it, which saved me a trip to the office.

Film Lit.
There're a bunch of random people in my class, none I'm really acquainted with. The class felt long even though we watched clips from movies with Shaffer's lens commentaries in the background. I'm hoping the class will go well for the rest of the year. I truly do enjoy directing and filming, so I want to make the best experience out of this class.

Computer Science
I was fairly content with my final and semester grades. We're starting a crazy Marine Biology study project soon, so not really looking forward to that. Oh, facebook was finally blocked under the school network; Sad I know.

Calculus
4th hour is not where all the cool kids are at. Apparently, all the other classes hates/hated our period. A lot of my friends switched out of the class, so it's not as exciting as it used to be. The class itself is getting more and more boring. I had begun to doze off during Klumpe's lectures about 4 weeks ago. I guess I'm not particularly fond of what we're learning right now, but I suspect Sodoku has something to do with it too.(Somehow they make you sleepy?) As for the good new, I aced the final and made the cut for a borderline A for the semester. 2 down, 3 to go.

Band
I have to say, the new band room is pretty slick. Mr. C gave us a tour of all the "hidden rooms" spread out around the main area. There are actually 2 well hidden doors that leads to the outside, but the school was smart enough to install alarms and surveillances on them. Weak.

International Relations
So I can't really draw a conclusion as to whether if painting was worth dropping for this class. Mr. Meister seems okay so far, apart from talking in the whispering range. This class is again a conglomerate of random people, but luckily with more I know this time.

Government
Why does class sizes keep on surprisingly me today? Government: 17. Pretty astonishing for a social study class if I may say. Again, random people I don't know.
Nonetheless, I am glad to be in Pugh's class again after my short stay in his World History class 2 years ago. He's the usual sarcastic, ADD, and anal-about-plagiarism kind of guy. For some reason, I remember his questioning on the autheticity of my Punic War paper out of all the other "memorable" moments from World History. Basically, he was like: 'your ending to this paper sounds too cool thus probably plagiarized'. So me: "Um..no."
What can I say, my awesome writing skillz from 2 years ago.
