First day, outta the way

My first day is over, officially, i'm an 8th grader :) It finally feels like it. We got out lanyards and ids, and let me say, they are hidious! They are BRIGHT yellow, that goes with like nothing! Haha, oh well.

I made quite a few new friends today :) And my one friend in my class, her name is Kathryn, and goes by Katie. I feel alot better being out of that group too. I have alot more confidence and blah blah blah. They are really strict this year, seriously. ALOT. Like our shirts MUST be covering our collar bones, or we are in trouble. Today my friend Katie (not the Kathryn Katie, a different Katie) got in trouble, and her shirt was made as a rounded collar shirt, it was just stretched out a little. CRAZY! And if you get sent to the OC just one time, you get a referral.

But all my classes are good. All my teachers let us chew gum, as long as we aren't like obnoxious with it, snapping it our chewing with our mouths wide open. My social studies teacher, Mr. Moran was apparently in the Vietnam War, and like everything he talks about brings up a story of his from the war, so then of course he has to talk about it. And he talks all in monotone, so its REALLY boring. Gosh, I think he told us atleast 3 or 4 stories just today! Ah. In english, we did a little "get to know you" game. And one girl said she went mountain hiking over the summer and the first thing she says is "And I saw a bear!" and the teacher and her kept going on about how scary it sounds, and how scary it was and whatever. I just sunk down, and looked around. My math teacher just graduated in May, and shes a girly girl who thinks shes all that. My science teacher is my favorite. Mr. Plowe. He's really cool. He was reading us the rules (for the 2nd out of the 4 times we heard them today) and he read off "No gum chewing" then started chewing his gum with his mouth wide open on purpose, teasing us. Then he said "Nah just kidding, I'm not big on that one" :) Haha. He kept making jokes the whole class, getting us in the mood for school. He's a Brewers fan too!! :D Him and my english teacher are. My french 101 class, is going to suck. I have all 3 girls that I"m not friends with anymore in it, and I sit by one. But whatever, she'll get over it (: They all kept looking at me, then I told my friend and I'm like "They look at me 'cuz I'm pretty :)" Ah, I had a pretty great first day overall.

So baby you my only love; the only love I want is yours. Nobody is going to take me away from you, and I hope it's the same for you. :)

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.

You can close your eyes to the things you do not want to see, but you cannot close your heart to the things you do not want to feel.

"In the book of life, the answers aren't in the back." - Charlie Brown

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

I've finally found what life's really about. Hanging on when your hearts had enough, and giving more when you want to give up.

You're lucky you know, right? - Emma

Life is short, Break the Rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that once made you smile.

Elve's are all jacked up on maple syrup!

Laughter on one's lips is a sign that that person deep down has a pretty good grasp of life.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing - Michael Pritchard

Life is pleasant. Death is peaceful. It's the transformation that's troublesome - Isaac Asimov

Madness is like gravity, all it takes is a little... push - The Joker

In order to live, we must let go. Forget her hearts not beating. Her spirit IS here. - Emma.

Look beside you. Shes trying to hold your hand. - Emma.

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
