Woot! I'm done with my first week of my senior year in high school, another... *Counts on my fingers* Thirty-five weeks to go! :D
Thus far, my senior year seems to be easy, despite the fact I stink at math and I'm taking FST (Function, Statistics, and Trigonemtry) and I have an old hag as my history/government teacher who "thinks" she says something, but really doesn't and then yells at us that we don't know the answer to it, basically, alltimers! Other then those two things, I think my year should be really easy.
I mean, I'm taking culinary (sp?) arts and I'll basically be learning how to bake things, as in cakes, donuts, cookies, etc. Taking Intro to Photo, which wont get good until second semester, when we actually start taking pictures. Why we're learning how to develop pictures before taking them is still a mystery to me. Then there's film studies, which is a really easy class. You just basically become a movie critic, plain and simple. No test, no paperwork, no homework, nothing but watching a movie on a movie screen the size of one of our scienece classes whole.
I do have core classes of course. I have no science! Thank whoever you believe in! FST is of course killer within the two days I've been in there, and government is already boring. I have a pretty laid back English teacher. I want to be like him to be honest. We were talking about him being "Wasted away in Margaritaville (sp?)" on the first day. He's a Rock Band guy which I had no other option but to love. Fifty-nine years old and still rocking out, why not like him? And last is creative writing, which is more reading and analyzing then it is actually creative writing.
I did talk to Pam, Lexi's mom, for two straight days. Her best friends husband, who was basically like a brother to Pam, hung himself two days ago, the day I was going to apologize about being an inconvenience to her for a while. So I had to put that on pause and try to make her smile. The funeral was yesterday and I wasn't able to go because she wasn't on my emergency contacts (which is something someone needs to be on if they plan on signing you out of school). I went over there yesterday to make her smile after trying Green Grass and High Tide twice on expert guitar (first one was an epic fail, second one, I got like seventy percent into it and then my hand just gave in).
I did of course do that, making her smile, but in the process, she reminded me that college was literally right around the corner. I told her I was going to take a year off and then go to college. Take the year off to gather some cash to go. She then told me that that wasn't a good idea, because regardless of how much I work, debt was still going to be used after I finished college.
It literally is around the corner, and the most recent classes that have graduated from high school are basically screwed because look at the economy we've had to encounter. It stinks and I know our president Obama is going to have some fun trying to get us back on the right road.
I've been flipflopping (sp?) for weeks now about what I've wanted to do, and when I talked to Pam, it looks like I'm going to be going to OCU (if they admit me of course which I'm sure that they will) next fall. I'm really not looking forward to being a freshmen in college only eating Mien, Ramen, Easy Mac, and White Castle (yes, I plan on working at White Castle when I go to college, it's like five minutes away from OCU). Debt by the looks of it is going to be used for about five years after college. It'll take about six years to get my PhD in English, which I'm happy isn't as long as, say for instance, a history degree, or even a doctor.
I strongly doubt anybody will read this lengthy thread, I literally have no idea why I posted it. I don't know, maybe to see what some seniors in high school this year have to say. Show some other teenagers in high school what there is to come. I honestly can't tell you why I wrote this thread. Lol!
