Let Me Catch My Breath .............. << previous // next >>
Dear Diary, Wow...I haven't written for some time now. I decided to do so now. Anyway...let me tell you how school is going. As you know...I started on the 5th of this month. Well...actually, that was only for the OAC registration. The 6th was for any conflicts in the timetables that needed to be fixed. SOOOO...my first day of actual school was on the 7th. I don't know what it is, but the first day back to school always feels so awkward to me. I remember that as a little girl, I used to just LOVE the first day back. It seemed so special...and I got that giddy feeling. The only other feeling I can compare it to...hmm....was the feeling I got on Christmas Eve, just knowing that Santa Claus would visit my house. *smirk* Anyway, so I realized that ever since grade 11, I have lost that feeling...hehe...(the feeling about going back to school...NOT that Santa thingy...incase you were wondering) I think it's a bad thing. *sigh* But..."geez Louise" (as my good friend, Maggie says...hehe), school is getting tough now. I thought that I felt the crunch last year in Grade 12...but now, I'm feeling it that much more. It's almost overwhelming. I really hate it how all the teachers are buzzing around us and badgering us about marks, marks, marks. They are constantly putting pressure on us, because we will all be heading off to university next year. In a way, it is good that they're making us aware of how important our marks are for our futures, but seriously....TOO MANY reminders can just about make a person nervous. It's like that in most of my classes. *sigh* Stresssssssssssss....overload. Anyway, everyone's timetable at school is all screwed up. Normally, we have 2 semesters and each semester has 4 period classes, starting at 8:40 AM and ending at 2:55 PM. Wellllll.........thanks to a new law that just passed in June, teachers are required to work 6.67 additional hours on top of it all. (Seriously, I don't know what nincompoop came up with this odd number "6.67"...stupid). So, all the schedules had to be changed. Now, we have 6 periods in each semester. The 1st period begins at.....(hold your breath)......8:15 AM!!!!!!!!!!!! This is CRAZZZZZZZZZY! Anyway, it's good that I have Writer's Craft then. I know that I'll enjoy that course. So, period one is only for 40 minutes and get this--> it runs all the way to the end of Semester Two (the whole year)! This is okay for me, since it is a subject that I love, but that is not the case with everyone. My friend, Kate has physics first thing....HAHAHA..........and I know of another person who has CALCULUS first period!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHA.........My heart goes out to them! Bless their dear souls! So...anyway, 2nd period, I have this religion course, but it's called Literature, because we will be dealing more with all sorts of literature, rather than just biblical studies. We will analyze work for their morals, religious similarities and such anomalies. 3rd period, I have Finite Mathematics...and you know what that means? FUN, FUN, FUN!! (RELAX! I was only being sarcastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haha......) Anyway, I got Mrs. Curtis, and so far, she seems to be really good. She actually cares about her students. I know that this is a sad thing to say, but most teachers now (that I know) are there for the pay. It's nice to know that the REAL GOOD teachers are still in the education system. We need them. 4th period, I have Calculus, and that teacher goes FASSSSSSSSST! 5th period, I have a spare, so I can go home for lunch (at 12:57 PM) and then not have to come back to school. 6th period is only around 6 minutes and is for the 'end of the day' announcements. Soooo......anyway...a while ago (way back when), I went to see the movie, "The Cell", with my friend, Nicole. I am really appalled that I actually let myself watch that movie. It was very.........uh.......disturbing......yes.....DISTURBING. That's a very good choice adjective. It really was disheartening. Some of the scenes really left my heart scraped. The way the women were treated totally made me upset. Some parts of the movie made me cry, especially when the murderer, Carl, was depicted as a little boy and was being abused by his father. That scene made me teary-eyed. I cannot imagine how such a young, innocent six year old boy could possibly be treated in such a vulgar, heartless, evil manner....It broke my heart just watching it. It made me think. Some kids, I'm sure, DO get that malicious treatment. It's so sad. *frown* It makes me want to cry. Well...I'm just going to include them all in my prayers. For all those out there who have been raped, abused or mistreated in any way, I want you to know that I'm praying for you. My prayers may only come from an eighteen year old girl, but I assure you that the Father in Heaven will hear my prayers and will answer the call. *HUGGGGGGGGGGSSSS* to everyone who needs a hug right now........ Well...I know that this entry is short, but I have to go to sleep now so that I can get up early tomorrow to go to school. Take care and always remember to SPREAD THE SUNSHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodnight!
