First Days of School

The first day I came to John Carroll in uniform was freshmen orientation day. On orientation day were showed all our classes and met all our teachers. It's weird having almost all male teachers because at my old school we didn't have a single one. So far so good. I had 10 people from my middle school come to John Carroll so I knew some people right away. I only still talk to about three or four of them but I made a lot of new friends from soccer. I have soccer practice every week day after school and I'm starting to get really tired. For example, I fell asleep today after practice and didn't wake up til 9:00 p.m. On the first day of school I wasn't really nervous at all. I still get nervous when teachers point me out in the class but I really don't know why. My face just gets red and I stutter even though I feel completely comfortable. First class was health and wellness with Mrs. G. Second class was Spanish 1 with Mr. Canter. Then I had advisory. I've never done a homeroom or advisory like this before so I thought it was already fun. The kids in my advisory are really talkative and like to include me in the conversation. I think I'll become friends with some of them cause we might have a lot in common. After that I had intro to bible and lunch. Lunch was probably what I was most worried about. I didn't want to get there too late and have no where to sit and have to wait in the really long lunch line. When I got in I saw one of my friends and stood with her while I paid for my lunch. The cafeteria was crowded with a lot of people and I couldn't find anywhere to sit. Finally my friends found a spot so we could all sit and eat there and eventually a lot more girls came over and sat with us so it ended up being all good. I had patriot transitions and human geography after that. Then my last class was biology. In all the day was pretty good even if it feels really long and tiring. I like hanging out with my friends and getting to know new ones. I'm proud to be a new patriot.
