A Surreal Blur.....

What Up Peeps,

First off, I would like to wish my baby brother, Jabari, a Happy 3rd Birthday!!! His birthday was this past Wednesday!!! To celebrate, just yesterday, we went to a place called Amazing Jake's: Food & Fun!! Let me tell ya, Peeps, their buffet was AMAZING!!! Especially their pizza!!! It was delightful!!! And Jabari had a lot of fun as well!!! He had actually went on a carousel with my dad!!! (There's rides there as well!!) Of course, I didn't want to go on ANY ride!!! Between you and me, Peeps, I'm scared to go on roller coasters!!! Even the little baby roller coasters get me a little queasy!!! If you put me on a roller coaster, I will SCREAM AND YELL like Freddy Kroeger or Jason is chasing me!!! Seriously!! But, anyway, "Happy 3rd Birthday, Jabari!! Welcome to another year in this world!!!"

O.K Peeps!! So, the first day at North Canyon High School, was a blur....a surreal blur!!! First off, this school starts 10 MINUTES before Shadow Mountain High School, and yet, ENDS at the same time as Shadow Mountain High School!!! {Chuckle} So, basically, I'm staying in school for 10 EXTRA MINUTES!!! I like to learn as much as the next person, but, 10 Minutes can feel like a long time!!! Another thing I have noticed is that, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have Marching Band Practice from 6:30p.m-9:00p.m!!! (These are on school nights, may I mind you!!!) And, just this past Tuesday, I had gotten my Marching Baritone, and two, count 'em, two trombones!!! (One for home, and one for school!!) When I was trying to hold up my Marching Baritone on Tuesday, while outside, it was HEAVY!!! I know I had played a Marching Baritone last year....but, I don't remember it being THAT HEAVY!!! Which is making me nervous!!! Do I have enough stamina to pull this off?! I don't know!!! We'll see!!

On a positive note, this school has WAY MORE FREEDOM than Shadow Mountain High School!!! At North Canyon High School, you can go on YOUTUBE, check your e-mail, eat in the hallways or in classrooms, talk loud in the library, eat/drink in the library, and have 7 MINUTES PER PASSING PERIOD!!! (You can't do any of these at Shadow Mountain High school!!) When I told my sister, Hanifa, this, she was {playfully} upset!! She only has 3 MINUTES for her passing period time!!! The only bad news about this "Freedom" here at North Canyon High School, is that we only have 30 Minutes for LUNCH!!! And trust me, Peeps, 30 minutes is NOT long at all!!! It takes you about 10 minutes just to go freshen up in the bathroom, and another 10 minutes to get your food and call a friend/family member!!! See, 20 minutes has already past, and now you have10 minutes to eat your lunch!!! See how fast lunch period seems to come and go?! In Shadow Mountain High School, I think they had about 40-50 MINUTES for lunch period time!!! I know, unfair right?! But, in a sense, it is fair!!! Look at all of the "Freedom " North Canyon High School gets and compare that to Shadow Mountain High School!!! See, what I mean?!

I must admit, Peeps, that I did get lost on the first day of school!!! Not "Lost-Lost"...just "Lost"!!! (If you know what I mean!! I was close to my destination, just not close enough!!) During lunch this whole entire week, besides Friday, I sat by myself and ate my lunch while listening to the songs on my cell phone!! {Sigh} I know, sad right?! So far, I don't have a best friend like I did last year!!! I have a couple a friends in Marching Band/Band class, but, they've all got friends to hang out with during lunch!!! But, as of right now, I don't have a BFF where I can share my secrets to, or even say, "Oooo...that guy is cute!!" to. But, that's o.k...I guess!!! I also don't see any guys that I would be interested in, yet either!! I haven't seen any guy that would look like, or even remind me of Ben Barnes!! But, I guess that's o.k too!! Besides, Ben Barnes is the love of my life!!! He is my true love as of right now!! I just don't see myself liking another guy as of right now!!! But, I have seen this one particular guy, not naming names, {I don't even know his name!!} in several of my classes, and let me tell you, Peeps, this guy, from the SIDE, looks JUST LIKE Joe Jonas!!! I kid you not, Peeps!!! But only from the side!!! Every time I see him, I kinda have a smirk on my face because I keep thinking that he's Joe Jonas!!! LOL!!! He has the same bushy eyebrows and face structure as Joe Jonas!! Again, ONLY FROM THE SIDE, he looks like Joe Jonas!!! And his hairstyle is just like Joe Jonas too!! But, anyway, I guess I don't mind that I have no crush on any guy from this school yet!!

My main focus, this year, is on my school work!!! No drama, no fussing....just school work!!! All of my teachers are really nice in this school!!! I do have one STRICT teacher, but, he's pretty cool!! As of right now, here's my schedule of classes I have:
  • Honors World History/Geographic 1
  • Honors English 3
  • Concert Band 1
  • Honors Chemistry 1
  • Lunch 1-2
  • Honors Algebra 3
  • IB Spanish 3
  • Marching Band

These classes are all in order besides Marching Band!! I only have that on Tuesday and Thursday nights!! I know, right?! I'm a busy woman!!! LOL!! Believe me, Peeps, on Wednesday, I couldn't wait for the weekend!! After Marching Band practice, all I want to do is go to sleep!!! So, overall, this week has been a surreal blur!!! Which only makes me curious about how the rest of the school year is going to go!!!

Well, Peeps, I best be going!!!
