And so it begins...

Today was the first day of senior high for me today at PCA, and as is evident, I survived the first day, I think that's a good sign. I now pity all those who have gone before me in the transition from Junior to Senior high.

It started with Mom waking me up at 6:30 a.m. which, knowing me, is not the wisest thing ti be doing at any time of year. However, she was bringing an offering of hot coffee, so all was forgiven. Ya know, coffee and some good, loud headbanging music first thing in the morning, it can actually get me beyond unconsiousness, which is a good thing I guess... Then, of course, there was the traditional first-day-of-school-ritual-of-taking-a-picture-with-the-bus-coming-down-the-road. Whoopee.

Then, when we got to school, I had to give the big-cousin talk to Matt, who was is your standard Grade 8 rookie, and find me sceduele, and make my way up to Mr. D's room for 10.1 Soc, on the 3 floor... Then for 2 periods, I had to keep a backpack, and shopping baggie, and a binder somewhere near my desk without having them kicked across the room. THEN we went to homeroom, where we were all assinged lockers about as wide as your average CD tower... sheesh. Seriously, I can barely fit my backpack in there! Argh...

Then for 4 periods, with an hour-long stop in between, I had Mr. H for science 10.1 and French 10. I don't believe it, which teacher gives out homework on the first day of school?!?!

Then I got Miss. P for Drama last two periods, which was fun, since I love drama class and I had Miss. P for the drama production Much Ado About Nothing in grade 8. We had to act out fairy tales, I think the Star Wars version of Peter Pan was my favorite, after our Matrix version of the 3 little pigs.

And then next term I get English, Bible/Computers, Phys-Ed, and pure Math, that'll be interesting... if I survive highschool that long! Yeesh...

Hey, it wasn't just coffee I brought, it was DOCTORED coffee, just the way you like it!

Grade 10 will look like a cake walk when you graduate from Grade 12 (I should start saving for that dress NOW, shouldn't I?), and Grade 12 will look like a cake walk when you're a med student.

Life keeps getting harder, but trust me: it also keeps on getting way better.

You're doing so great - I'm proud of you kiddo!
