School and Such...

First of all...
I just realized that the way I described my school situation is really confusing. On Aug 16th, I put that I want to go away to boarding school, but on Aug 19th, I put that I do go to a boarding school. Both are true; I go to a boarding school, but I don't board [I really want to - I went away for a long time this summer, and I loved it]. I simply stay there as late at night as possible without being annoying about it. Luckily almost all of my friends board so it's pretty easy.

And now for the rest...
School... hmm. The people situation is really weird still, but I'm much happier at school than at home because of my mom and everything. Although I don't really connect with too many people, at least we have a good time. I mean really, bitching mom or hanging out while playing intense Guitar Hero? Anyone could make that decision. Oh, and I signed up for bowling as a joke thinking it was full. Apparantly, it wasn't because I'm now on the Bowling Team. haha I seriously suck at bowling. Anyway, the coach told me that they were really desperate for girls, so hopefully I'll meet a cool guy through it. I haven't been in a relatioship since early June, and I sorta miss it. On to classes and stuff though... I don't know if I'm going to pass this year. Haha, but seriously, I'm taking a lot of APs this year, and the regular classes are no walk in the park either. Here's my schedule:

Honors PreCal
Painting
AP English Language
AP Physics
AP US History
Digital Design

One of my friends is in my English class, and yesterday, when the professor asked her what her favorite memory of school was, she talked about a time when she and I left campus to get energy drinks at a gas station during a tennis match. It really was hilarious. We ended up spending almost $20 and drinking every drop, which gives you a little more than a kick... Anyway, it just made me really happy that she said that.

I also have my free period with three of my friends [this is extremely lucky... usually you're lucky to be with one]. In History we're talking about Ghandi. If you don't know much about him, you should learn some. He really was an amazing man. I can't believe that I'm almost seventeen years old and I barely knew anything about him at all before that class. Painting is, of course, amazing. We learn a few new techniques every week, and then listen to music and paint the rest of the time. Digital Design is actually really cool too though. It's a class where you learn to use Photoshop to it's full potential and code your own website from scratch, using the pictures. The coding is pretty hardcore, like what the edit page on Myspace looks like. type stuff. It sounds boring, I know, but it's really not at all. It's so much fun to see that you've made a website from a Notepad document. I guess once my site is done at the end of the semester [around early December], I'll post it on here.

I know I'm a nerd. I really don't care.
And for the record, I also like Nickelodeon and video games. :)

Are you a junior? Just curious.

haha. You're not a nerd, you just have fun. As for the hard classes...I've been there. That sucks. Just keep up with them, though, and you should be fine. You seem like a smart enough girl. =)

Also, I know what you mean about the friend thing. I was like that too around your age. It always feels better to be out of a shitty home, no matter where you end up. I hope you get to board sometime. And if not, well...at least you have college soon, right?

hee, everyone's a nerd at heart! *giggles* And for the record, I also like Nickelodeon and video games too. :P Gag I dislike math and science intensely, but everything else sounds fun, though hard. I wish my school offered digital design... Hee, are you a junior?

I'm a sophomore in college. It's much better than high school. Trust me. ;)

NYU, interesting. What do you plan on doing?
