The last I ever wrote on here might as well have been 3 months ago. So lets start with a recap of each special moment over the last few months.
Later in August
After the vacation was drawing a near close and the time was coming for me to move, I stayed with my mom the last week up until we moved. Besides waiting because it ended up being delayed, we pretty much was indoors, most of it because of Hurricane Irene, which, I have to say, was a weak hurricane. It's like using a Magikarp in Pokemon. Just...sad. Very, very sad. There also wasn't much damage around us, which I pretty much was forced to expect, so yeah. I thought a tree was gonna fall atop us, but nothing did. Nothing but a lot of rain. And some leaves. And winds.
That. Was. It.
Arriving in September
My mom and I took a Greyhound to Atlanta because everyone wanted to be a little bitch and not help us get down there with our luggage. I, personally, felt embarrassed because here we are, a mother and daughter, travelling by Greyhound, carrying our clothes and what-not. We didn't carry anything like actual boxes of our belongings because, if we did, I would die. It's bad enough having three suitcases and such.
Then, a family friend arrived at the bus stop, in which we were driven to our new home. I like it, because it's spacious, but I still don't have my own room and for that, I'm very mad. And, we didn't move to Atlanta like mom kept saying. We live nearly 45 minutes outside of Atlanta, in a place called Lithonia. I expressed my anger about the fact she kept on saying "Atlanta! Atlanta!" when it should have been "Lithonia! Lithonia!" to her a few times.
Then, we spent about a week or two trying to enroll me into school because, down here, they started school the beginning of August, while I was still on my summer vacation. Yeah. My mom got mad because it's a very long, aggravating, and seemingly unnecessary procedure to enroll into school. I then started September 22.
Now that it's October...
I broke a few barriers in my classes; when it comes to me speaking, at least. In band, a few weeks ago, I spoke, back-talked, and what-not, which, in return, had the class saying "We should throw a party!" just because I was mostly silent, so they felt that was a time to celebrate. Then in English, just last Friday (10/21), I was giving a presentation on the island the Lotus-Eaters lived on (because we are in the Odyssey unit and are about done.), which we called "Lotus Island", in which I said "Hi." and my class said "HI." back and I, in return mumbled, "I didn't ask for a reply" in which the class burst into laughter and my teacher was in shock because I hadn't spoken complete words since attending. Or, words like that. That then was another cause to party, in which I am still waiting for about 7 cakes, one for each barrier I broke in each class. Then, in math, a week prior to my English class fiasco, I made a few friends. And I'm not the only new girl because once I started, another classmate (also a girl) started which was (and is) pretty cool. Anyways, 10/14, we had a substitute because our actual math teacher was absent, so we had this male sub. I believe he has an attention disorder because that day, we were having a paper-ball fight and the sub wasn't saying or doing anything about it! And I also made a few more friends that day, (both guys, In which I will cover soon enough something crazy I keep getting asked.). Yeah. That was a nice day. Then, on the Wednesday after, she wasn't there again and my math class had the same male sub and it was much calmer that day than the previous Friday, that's for sure.
Now, I made, somewhat, two guy friends, in which I don't know how I feel about the situation. All I can say is that his best friend asked if we were going out and two of my classmates (one another friend of his, one a friend of mine) both asked, on different days, if I liked him. I said no to all of those questions, but couldn't exactly stop my mouth from going into some psycho girl smirk. Honestly, I would like to know why people think I like him. If I did, then why does it exactly matter?
Anyways, I now have a project to make a newspaper about the Odyssey, with a group, due Monday. We're pretty much done for everything, all we need to do is put everything together.
So, THIS is EVERYTHING, well, a recap of all my favorite memories over the past few weeks I've been in this school.
Adios, and until next time, do not drink and drive, smoke and drive, or drive if you can't drive.
