Stephen is a verb.

My stomach and my throat feel all blah right now. Ugh…..It’s being back in school, surrounded by the germs of people. Usually I get real sick within the first week or two, but I think since I’m at a brand new school, it doesn’t have 60 years worth of diseases hiding everywhere. Theres also not 5000 people walking around sneezing and coughing in your air. There is just a mere 2300 now, less than half of what it was.
Maybe I’ll get sick less, since my immune system doesn’t have to work as hard anymore.

Anyway, breakfast at Denny’s was fun. There were 13 of us there. I knew a few of them, the other few I knew mutually, and about 3 of em I’d never even seen. I was glad I wasn’t the only one worried about getting back to school on time though. We all agreed we’d leave by 9, to make sure we had time to get back. To tell the truth, I wasn’t expecting that. I expected me to be quietly begging Pat to leave while they all sat around and chatted, without a care in the world. Because yea….I hate getting into trouble. I’m a good person

Half of them still go to humble, so they were telling us what it’s like there. God it sounds horrible. No air conditioning in the annex, and you have to walk outside to get to any of your classes if theyre not in the annex because, of course, they are all in trailers. Each and every person that I have talked to described it as a "rat maze". They say you’d be walking, turn a corner, and a wall would be there. So, you’d turn around, walk some more, hit another wall, and then have to follow your footsteps out to where you were in the first place and start all over again, only to realize the walls have been moved again and now you’ve got to walk around the entire trailer park/school. No one has lockers, and they’ve got 7 classes a day like we do, so they’ve got to carry their books everywhere because the trailers can’t fit all the classes books.

So yea, I am very grateful that I was granted the opportunity to go to the new high school. I couldn’t imagine still being at Humble, and I feel sorry for everyone who’s still there. And I miss everyone whos still there But I really am fortunate. My parents went and bought a brand new house just so my brothers and I could go to the new high school. Yea hundreds of other parents did too, and some are now planning to since they’ve seen the state of the old school now, but I’m glad mine were one of them. Sure, the original reason we moved was because my parents were getting divorced, but whatever. The point is, I’m here, and I’m happy.

I’m also happy about this weekend . Me, Pat, Ellen, and Samantha are going to Splashtown for my birthday, which is on Sunday. I suppose I could invite some friends but, I don’t want alot of people over there. I would ask Kirsten, but she’s got a habit of changing plans at the last minute, and I really don’t want to deal with that. Besides, she doesn’t know my cousins so it wouldn’t be as much fun for her. Okay Pat isn’t a cousin….but, the 3 of them know each other well, so he’s just as good as one.

Ew I have a physics quiz tomorrow.

Oh well, I <3 physics. Because Stephen, Michelle, and Michael are in there <3 so its fun <3

Stephen is my walking canvas.

And later on in the year we get to make large-scale trebuchets and get to try to shoot water ballons at the teacher <3
I think I’m actually going to enjoy this school year..
