First Day of School... And more!

Well, I haven't posted for a while, what a slacker I am. I have so much to catch you up on, so let me get started. This is set to be a super long entry, because I have had so much happen to me these last few days!

Since posting last time, I had a lot of firsts, and one of them including getting pulled over. In my year and a half of driving experience/stupidity, I'm surprised it hadn't happened sooner. I was SOOOO scared. Well, it was for nothing. When I was pulled over, the officer (whom I have named "Walker Texas Ranger") asked to see my license and then he said "mam, do you realize that your rear license plate is hanging on by one screw?" I of course did, but I just hadn't fixed it. The head of the second screw had been sheared off, and so I couldn't put another one in there anyways. I was freaking out though. I didn't know what I had done wrong, and I think that's part of the reason I was so scared. He let me off the hook though, so it was all good. Let's hope I don't get pulled over- ever.

After that, nothing else really big happened. I got really nervous for school the day before it started. I think that was because I didn't know where any of my classes were at and I didn't know anyone. Well, those nerves were only strengthened upon entering the school for my first day. I didn't know where to go, and I felt like the loneliest fish in an ocean of people. That's the only way I could describe it. I didn't even know who the principal was! I knew literally no one. Luckily, I found someone who was also a senior and she helped me find my Homeroom and I felt a little more relieved after that. But even still, I still get those nerves.

Well, my first day either had not gone as I had planned. I picked out this super cute dress to wear my first day of school, and I was so excited to wear it and show it off. I wasn't very familiar with the dress code, and it doesn't help that the dress code is really vague and not specific. My third period, I'm a Student Aide for the Counseling Center and I just deliver papers pretty much. On my way to deliver a paper, a Vice Principal found me and pulled me aside. Well, my dress was too short apparently. I had packed pants to wear underneath just in case this did happen, and I had told that. She wouldn't let me change though. I had two options (neither counted against me, thank God), I could spend the rest of the day in ISS or she would give me permission to go home. I chose to go home, and was thus suspended essentially. I was really disappointed that's how my first day of school in a new school and new state had to go down that way. But oh well! I was really nice to the lady about everything, and she sees me in the hallway and calls me Sunshine and stuff. It's weird, but at least she doesn't give me the death glare or something.

School had got better and better after that. My first full day of classes was wonderful, and all my classes rock. I have at least one person in every class that talks to me and that's nice. As far as friends go, English is by far my favorite. Two girls from the Drill Team are nice to me and talk to me, and they even let me walk with them to our next class period since our classrooms are relatively close to each other. There's also two other girls in there that I talk to and they are both super nice. I'm feeling really lucky that they treat me so nice. In Economics I sit on my own table (which kind of sucks) but there's a guy who also sits on his own, and we talk a lot. There's a football player in that class and the class that follows (they're both taught by the same teacher, are in the same classroom, but are different classes) that is super nice to me. He's a bit of a flirt, or at least that's my first impressions of him. I'm a little awestruck that these kind of people are talking to me, seeing where people who played the big name sports never even so much as looked at me back in Utah. I'll take what I can get at this point though!

Well, I've been flirting it up with Patrick, and though the kid in Statistics/Economics has been flirting with me, I haven't really reciprocated. I've felt really guilty seeing as I still have a boyfriend and everything. I was little mad with Tyler because I didn't found out that he got his phone back from him, I found out from my best friend Tylee. I was really upset that he wouldn't tell me, and that I found out from my best friend. if I had any doubt about breaking up with him before, it was all but gone after that. He kept texting me and texting me and I just ignored him. Like I said, I wasn't very happy. Finally I texted him Friday asking if he could take phone calls. He said yeah and I called him later that evening. It was a very clean break, and I later learned that he was thinking too that maybe it was a good idea to part our separate ways. I'm a little sad, but mostly excited to get back at the dating game. As a matter of fact, I really haven't even cried! That's not bad is it?

I'm also really happy to announce that after being in and out of the hospital and not seeing the walls of home for the past month that Grandpa O. has finally come home! I really hope he stays here for a while, because a hospital is not a good place to be spending week after consecutive week in.

Well, that's all I have for right now. I think I got us all pretty much caught up! Until next time...
