Week 1: Welcome back! Sophmore Year :]

It's "back to school time." Summer's over; classes are in session. In my oppinion, school is...boring. Classes are way easier than i wanted. I'm currently in Trig 1, Social Studies (yeah, I'm in social studies. Get off my back!), and English 2 (obviously). Also, my favorites, band and chorus.

Anyways...school is so much easier than i expected. I figured Trig would be really hard, and i actually understand more than most of the upperclassmen. It's weird. My little group of sophmores and I are understanding everything and the juniors are falling behind.

Social Studies is even easier. Just a lot of work to do...yeah, it is a freshman class and i am a sophmore. You didnt misread that. I'm only in Social Studies this year because 1.) it's a required class. and 2.) I had to drop it last year and take Drivers Education and PE. But it's just a lot of homework that i really dont want to do. Joy. Plus, i never realized how dumb and immature freshmen are. Especially when they are trying to sound cool, because you are older. (I think part of the reason I think the boys are so dumb is because I hang out with a lot of older guys. Like juniors and seniors and freshmen in college. And girls are naturally better :] just kidding!)

English 2 is my favorite class right now. I really enjoy reading and writing. These kind of things come easily for me. I was almost the fastest reader in grade school, and I started writing poem kind of things around 6th or 7th grade. I personally think I'm pretty good, and so do some of my friends that have been given the opportunity to read them, but friends are going to lie to you if it's going to keep them from hurting your feelings.

Band and chorus are a close second since I ABSOLUTELY love music. My life is never completely silent. Either I'm talking or listening to music, or sometimes even both. Band is amazing since all my friends are in the band nerd clan. I love it cause I actually have an excuse to spend all day with my friends, and there's nothing my parents can do about it. Chorus is also fun, because I enjoy understanding music theory, and if we had a music theory class I would take it, if there was another class period to fill, but with Block 5, there isn't time with band and chorus in the way. (Which is one reason I really wish we had 6 class periods instead of 5.)

In conclusion, sophmore year is fun, but school is boring. I enjoy being with my friends everyday, I just wish some classes didnt have so much homework...oh well. Going back to school this year was just like "Oh yeah, another year with no perks or exciting events. The same thing as last year only this is round two instead of one giving me more experience." Honestly, what is exciting about sophmore year? 1.) You get your class rings. Yay. Not really something I'm too pumped about, but it's still kinda cool. 2.) Higher level classes, in some cases. 3.) You get freshmen year yearbooks. I'm actually looking forward to that...but it's not enough to get me overly excited about this year.

The things that I'm actually excited about are homecoming, football, band, speech, prom, my lisence and more freedom/later curfews. They dont have much to do with school, but without school I wouldnt do these things, ya know?
