The New Year

I decided that I should finally update my blog, so here's what's up:
Well first off I managed to survive to the weekend of what must've been the longest week of my life ever. I started my second semester, and it's semester's like this that make me wonder why the heck I haven't dropped out of school and joined the military. I get to start my day off in Chemistry. This shouldn't be too bad, since last semester I started off my day with Physics, but it's not really that great. I learned to understand Physics and actually gain an appreciation for it last semester. I also made some amazing friends in that class. Next is P.E. I'll steal Lauren's description of the events in P.E., and then go into other views from my perspective. One day they pretty much made us run around and around the gym for about 20 minutes, then they made us do about 1000 sit-ups (note that the numbers might be just a little exaggerated). We were half expecting them to make us carry elephants across the gym the next day for upper-body work-outs. Then the whole other spectre is the locker room. I got so lost my first day in there, most locker rooms are simple you walk in the door and there are lockers, but this never happens at our school, oh no. You walk into the locker room and have about a thousand turns before you ever even find the lockers. I was one of the twenty (unexaggerated number) unfortunate people who thought that the further back you went in the locker room the less crowded it would be, that was a wrong assessment of the situation.
Okay so third block is Advanced Drama which isn't all that bad. I'm a little disappointed because I'm stuck in Drama with people who have sworn to hate me, and whom I have sworn to hate. But the class is so ginormous that really it doesn't matter because I can lose myself in the class. I'm also struggling with the class because my Intermediate Drama class became like a family last semester, and now I'm in drama with a whole bunch of strangers and people I don't get along with. Mrs. Davis and I are also having a lot of problems with each other this semester. For some reason this semester she's out to prove that she hates my guts, and for the first time I've actually thought of dropping the whole program because I can't stand her any more. I've actually prayed about whether or not I should be in the department, and I'm still not sure what my answer was, or if I've gotten an answer yet.
Okay so to end every single day I get to go to Honors Pre-Cal (I feel like an honor's student knowing I don't even know how to spell Calculus without a spell-check). The class is good and all, but I have about a bajillion math problems to do every day after school, and a quiz every other day.
After school activities have been so-so this semester as well. I missed Ren. Club this week, but I'll probably make it to the next meeting. And the Musical has been pushing itself in on my life. I am enjoying parts of rehearsals, although there have been some issues with it as well. I've discovered that I'm the outcast/forgotten Mormon in the musical. The other Mormons in the musical tend to ignore/forget me, but I don't mind. I have enough good friends in the musical that I don't care about the people who don't see what they're missing. The two Mormons that I really want to be friends with hang out with me most the time, so it's all good. Also the opening scene looks great, so hopefully we'll pull off this musical even better than they did last year's.
Okay, so for the happy parts of my life. I do have friends in every class, except for Chemistry, which I have people to talk to, so it's not lack of friends that's making the days drag by. I also finally have plans set up, and in motion to maybe start something that I want to be started, so hopefully that'll work out. Mostly I have some stuff to complain about, but I guess not too much.
