Failed to mention when I first wrote this blog. But myaffie, Chynna wanted me to let everyone know that she’s recently been hacked and so she cannot access her website. She’s not sure when she’ll be back, but she wanted me to let you all know (since our affies are the same for the most part).

So I have several comments to return from the last blog. I haven’t had time to be on the website, or even online for that matter. Yes, a big part of my life is online but I’ve decided that I need to cut the internet out of my life. Or at least until I finish homework, which means I’ll rarely be on. Homework kind of becomes your life at my school. O.o

I’ve only had 2 days of class (We started on a Friday) and I already am falling under a huge pile of homework. I see this year will be a tough and challenging one, what with all the chaos my teachers decide to pile on.

However, I am exceptionally psyched for this year. Every day since the beginning of last week (before school started) has been amazing. In fact, summer was amazing as I concluded several blogs ago. Life has been great. Really, I’ve never felt this good about myself and life in a long time. Kuya probably is rubbing off me, his good ol’ optimistic side.

Because despite how intimidating this coming year is, how scared I actually am, behind all of that… I’m psyched. I’m truly ecstatic over this year and pretty much jumping up and down everyday because of it. Maybe I just had too much sugar over the summer.. (Halo halo perhaps, for those Filipinos who know what I’m talking about?) but I really have been all smiles, inside and out.

I’ve hit some minor bumps along the way, my dad and I came into conflict the night before my first day. He pretty much hated me that night. And usually, I would just wallow in my pain. (As sad as that sounds…)

But this time was different, sure I shed a few tears but they were more of tears for my father rather than my situation. This time, I decided to see what would make my dad get so furious so quickly. Okay, yes I arrived late, but he usually is laid back about that. So I knew that wasn’t the issue. It was work and family issues in the Philippines all piled high onto one huge plate.

Since then though, my dad’s been better. And thank goodness, I’m having issues “getting back into the swing of things.” It’s been two days. I’ll give myself a week or two before I start worrying about not being able to adjust.

Moving on to what’s to love about this year. Firstly, my teachers. Perhaps I haven’t said so yet, but I LOVE MY TEACHERS!!! They are simply amazing, they’re some of the best teachers at the school, the kind that push you to your limit.. but for the best, not for stupid reasons. The kind that bring out the best in you without you even realizing it until the best is out. (If that made sense…)

Math: He’s hilarious. This was actually one of the classes I was worried about. But he’s hilarious, in a way that doesn’t involve being everywhere at once (like my teacher last year who I love and miss but only because he was hilarious…good teacher wise…ehh?)

History/English: I’ve heard mixed things about my History teacher but he doesn’t seem so bad right now. Of course, listening to him talk for so long can get really tiresome but I’ve survived. He’s like my frosh History teacher except he seems to know what he’s talking about which is good.

Theology: LOVE HIM. I haven’t had his class a second time yet (it’s tomorrow on B-days) but I’m really excited for his class. I’ve heard great things and I just know him from liturgies (he’s a priest) and really, he’s great. At least right now. TBA?

Choir: YESSS. The class is epic period. I’ve taken this class three years in a row now (well Frosh year it was an elective) but yeah, I’ve always loved Choir and always will.

Chem: MY TEACHER IS INSANE. In a good way of course. You know how in the movies, chemists are portrayed as crazy insane frizzy haired Einstens? Well, she’s not EXACTLY like that but similar. I mean, to some extent she does fall under the chemist stereotype. But I love her. She gets really hyped up and she’s like me (when I’m hyper), extremely talkative and hyper and yes.

We had a conversation about Mr. Sketch markers, those good-smelling things. Well my Chem teacher went on a long rant on how those are bad. “So I was testing a bunch of those markers that were lying around and they happened to be Mr. Sketch. Well then I started sniffing them, like this -shows class huge sniff- And yes, it smelled good! But you know those things are BAD for you. BAD. You know what they have? Toxins and Carcinogens. What does the word toxin sound like to you? BAD. Yeah, toxins.. bad file! Now what are Carcinogens? Yeah, they cause CANCER. Cancer, bad. BAD FILE.”

-wipes eyes from laughing- So funny. I can’t wait. It’s going to be one interesting class.

Espanol: I got the teacher I wanted! And I have a super small class (11 people?) One of my friends transferred out (stupid schedule got switched around because she switched math) but a bunch of my other friends are in that class with me.

Which reminds me, I have friends! …in all my classes. Haha, that first bit would sound pathetic alone huh? But really, I love this year so far. And I’m actually ready for whatever hits me, be it good or bad. I’m excited. Here’s to a bright new year!

If you’ve started school already, lemme hear about it? Have a job, then tell me what your high school days were about? Or if you have yet to start school, tell me about it? It’s late I must sleep now. Love to you all.
