the past few days have been quite swell, despite my anxiety. while i don’t have as many friends as i’d like in my classes, there’s no one in particular that i Don’t Like. my teachers are all really great. so far we’ve spent the first three days in john’s class discussing how we all believe that grades aren’t necessary. it was actually more productive than it sounds. both of the new teachers, nicole and melissa, are just as awesome as i’d hoped for. if dane cook and drew carey had a lovechild who was then adopted by some hilarious woman-comedian that i can’t think of, it would be melissa. for the first time in like…ever, i am absolutely dying of excitement to learn history. and that’s saying a lot.

so, in short, school is going well.

on a completely unrelated note, nico & i have decided to participate in the internet/art-revolution that is Learning To Love You More (dot com). for anyone who doesn’t know what it is, check it out, because i wouldn’t be able to describe it clearly anyway.

i’ve already started working on two of the assignments, and my pard-ner (nico) shall be collaborating with me for some others. it’s going to be superfun.

with love.

so yesterday i spent the morning / early afternoon with nico going out to breakfast at a cute little hole-in-the-wall diner across the street from old town. i think it was called perry’s. anyway, it was quite good, and the waitress was nice. i’d give it a 9 out of 10, only because it took me forever to get another fork after i dropped mine. lame.

after breakfast, we took the bus back over to liberty station to meet up with madison and eventually a few others to sit in an empty hallway and watch clerks. that failed miserably. planes kept flying overhead while the lawnmowers made even more noise which made it basically impossible to hear anything. jerks. after about 45 minutes of “daaamnits” we decided to head over to school. i talked to a few people i hadn’t seen in a while… that was fun. nathaniel and i went to talk to mike for a bit and came to the conclusion that the freshman look like beanie babies (what ever happened to those…?). i went to advisory, went over a few things and then i got my schedule!

i have-
1st per: biology, which is ridiculous because i took biology freshman year. >:| oh well.
2nd: math III
3-4: humanities
and then the rest of the day i’m in la jolla interning at tangent! wooo. ‘

so, i’m sort of happy with my schedule. i’m just irritated that i’m going to be repeating things, but at least it’ll be a new experience. hah. after comparing schedules with other people, i went to introduce myself to all my teachers, and i’m pretty happy because they all seem really great and energetic. i’m excited.

after being at school for 3ish hours, i headed over to a bonfire-thing at shelter island. my “group” minus cody all had a mini-reunion, which was nice and fun-packed with racist jokes, extreme sarcasm, and lots of interruptions. we skipped rocks for a bit, talked about our summers, and then brandon played the harmonica. that was nice. then when most everyone else left, nathaniel and i decided to sneak into the stevie wonder concert at humphrey’s. it sort of worked. we got into the hotel but then they kicked us out, probably because we looked like a whole bunch of “no good kids”.

so my day was good. and hopefully this year will be too.

end.
