Hey Guys! Megan is Back!
First of all, wooo! It's Labor Day Weekend! I finally have some time to blog!
Well I've been thinking.... what do normal people blog about...? O.o Kate and I want to become famous bloggers someday but we don't actually know where to start... Hmmm I gusss we'll just write stuff out and see what happens. You know, the randomness guarantwe we promised.
Long time no post. As the title says, my week was pretty busy.Yeah, yeah I know. Basically EVERY high school kid complains about going to school, especially the first week of school. Well, try looking at things from my perspective. I flew out from the Philippines last Friday (August 23) and arrived here in Connecticut almost 24 hours later. A 2 hour and a 15 hour flight, 12-hour time difference, aching stomach, barely enough sleep... Oh and did I mention, I came back 2 days before school started. Yep. I had less than 2 days to rest up. Whoopie.
My friends actually had a welcome-back party planned out for me but unfortunately I couldn't go since I had a TON of unpacking to do
Anyway,(I say this a lot in case you haven't noticed) what's a jetlagged kid gonna do on her first day as a sophomore? I can't just not go to school. The first day is pretty important since it's when you go see your classes and stuff. Well, that's how it works here in America anyway (see. I did it again) We got our schedules late July and we get to run around like lab rats on the first day to find our classes and sit in each one to get orientated on the course we're taking.
How's my schedule? JUST FANTASTIC.
I have Algebra first thing in the morning. I'm pretty sure almost everyone's brains don't function too well at 7 am and just my luck cause I stink at math. No, seriously. Numbers make my head spin. I just can't grasp concepts involving mathematical fancies and stuff. Geometry was a nightmare last year.
Art and Design is my next class, in other words, my favorite time of the day. I have a strong love-hate relationship with Art. At times it can be extremely fustrating but once I get it right, I feel like the most accomplished person in the world.I won't say I'm good at it (yet); I still have a long long way to go but hey, that's why I'm taking this class.
Sorry if this sounds too much like a rant. I tend to worry too much and panic. Well, have a happy Labor Day weekend if you're living in America! If you're from somewhere else, have a great day! I really appreciate you all! :D

Plus the teacher knows me from last year and he's awesome! Sarcastic people are fantastic.
After Art, I have to run to the other side of the building to take my English class. Our teacher actually seems pretty chill. She kept going on about how she wants to sound human and she does.
Guess what? Lunch at 10 o' clock! I got the earliest lunch wave and believe me, if I had a choice I would have taken something later. 10 am is usually the time Kate has her breakfast!
Right after lunch, I take one floor up going to the World Languages hall to go to French. My French teacher was hired a few days before school started and she's probably more confused than the freshmen. I feel sort of bad for her. My class is full of clowns.
I dash from French to go to History. Well, it's the first week but this class is extremely quiet for some reason. I guess it's the wrong mix of people?
From History, I run to Spanish. (yes, I take two languages. Long story behind that) I wanted to drop this course but I kinda forced myself to take it and now I'm faced with my fast-talking-close-to-zero-percent-English-speaking Spanish teacher, Yes, he knows how to speak in English but he prefers letting us get nosebleeds with his extremely fluent Spanish. I got yelled at twice or thrice on the first day for speaking in English when I was just asking my friend, Katie, how to say something in Spanish
Um, so anyway, after nosebleeds I'm off to Chemistry. Oh, I've loved Science ever since I was a little kid and in Grade 6, I had this crazy idea of becoming a forensic scientist. Well, I'm still sticking to that dream.

Sadly, I'm not in AP Chemistry (Advanced Placement/College-leveled class); I'm only in the honors level (which is just harder than a regular Chemistry class.) I feel bad I couldn't get into a more intensive class but something was pulling me back even though I could have asked the teacher for a recommendation change.
My classes after Chemistry depend on what day it is. On Monday's and Wednesday's I have a Cafe Study. It's a period where you get to do nothing in the cafe. On Tuesdays, I have another period of Chemistry. On Thrusdays and Fridays, I have gym for the first half of this quarter and Health for the next half. The state of Connecticut requires sophomores to take this fitness test to reach their standards or whatever. I should say that I'm the most unathletic person on the planet. I can't even do one sit up :( (Kate knows my pain)
I don't have the best schedule on the planet but hey, at least I don't have Math before Chemistry or French succeding Spanish.. That kind of stuff 0__0 The worst part is the fact that I hardly have any classes with my friends. I mean, there are some people I know but I don't really talk to... Plus there's this really fierce girl in my history class so debating will be quite a task against her.

I'm getting nervous. Fast-speaking Spanish teacher, Lunch at 10, Algebra first thing in the morning, the fitness exam, friends having an entirely different schedule... Wonder how this school year will turn out? :(
