Megan, I can't wait to see how your first day went!!!! Is your schedule crazy? Is your school huge making it hard to get from one class to the next? How many minutes to you have to make it to the next class? Honey, you make the most of it, get those grades you're talking about and have fun....you'll remember these years the rest of your life! You sure have grown up on us here:luvu:

Best wishes to you Megan!!!
Have fun, study hard, and get to bed early on school nights!;)
Time is going to fly by, it might seem slow at times, but you will see,
one day you will ask yourself where did all the time go.
High School is as fun as you make it. You will make many new lifetime
friends. You're a star Megan, go show them your shine;)

:hearts-xx

=] I hope you like high school. Today was my first day as a sophmore! I love it.. As long as you put yourself out there to make friends you should be okay.. the only part I hated was getting lost once.. Thats it.. ithese four years are going to be the best of your life.. make sure you enjoy them. JUst don't do anything stupid!

How was it, Megan???

Megan these are some of the best years of your life!!! Make some great memories!!!!

oh I couldn't wait to get home to tell you all about it. :)

Sooo I got there in the morning and the freshman all went into the theatre to be assigned to our home room classes. Let me clarify that I go to a VoTech school, but the theatre/dance program is the only one you have to audition for and it's not on the same schedule as the rest of the shops. So my acting teacher called all the freshman theatre kids together (there's 7 of us) and we introduced ourselves. Then we went off to our homeroom classes. I have Algebra with the same teacher the next period, but we didn't do any of that today.

After that I go to the next hall (our hallways go A,B,C,D,E,F, and G). My science teacher is awesome. She is very sarcastic which I love. We also had to figure out a math problem for something we were working on. My school is VERY strict about cell phones, we can't have them out at all. but she was like "You guys can take out your phones to use the calculators." and we just looked at her and she was like "I'm serious! What, do you think I'll wait for you to take them out then go 'Psych!' and take them from you?" Which was pretty amusing.

Then after that I have gym. we didn't do anything today. I went right from there to lunch. I ate with Gabe (from the theatre program) and some other boy. After that I had Spanish. I've taken Spanish for the last 7 years, and I haven't learned much of anything because my teacher sucked. but this teacher is awesome and she is actually spanish. she's very funny and I think she's gonna be an awesome teacher.

After that, I have English. I have to walk from hall G to hall A. fun. :rolleyes: My teacher is very weird. She's just...odd. I don't know what it is about her. She spent most of her time going over classroom rules and complaining because there aren't enough desks.

Afterwords, I have US History 1. the theatre kids and dancers are mixed in the Juniors' class because of our scheduling. It's SO weird being mixed with older kids. They're very interesting creatures. They wear all black with chains and one girl has a bar piercing right between her eyes.

then finally, I have theatre! SO much fun. My teacher is incredible. The class is very laid back (we sit at tables not desks, she doesn't really mind cell phones, etc.) But she's also very professional and brutally honest when she has to be. the freshmen are mixed with the seniors because we have to help them with their senior showcase, and they have to direct and produce our freshmen showcase. I love being mixed with them. They're a lot of fun and very nice.

We had to take turns getting up in front of the class and telling about ourselves and why we wanted to go to that school. I said how I had planned on going to the regular high school, but the people from VoTech brought some of the performing arts kids. I said how one of them did a monolouge, then one of the seniors stood up and went "That was me!" and when I told her that it was her who made me want to go there, she ran up and gave me a hug. Everyone aww'ed. and we looked over at the teacher who was like "...I think I just threw up in my mouth a little." it was SO funny (she's very sarcastic lol). I need about $100 worth of shoes for when we combine with the dancers. We're doing pilates (sp) with them sometime next week. My teacher said that by the end of the year we'll have abbs of steal whether we want them or not haha.

I think I'll be alright. :) The bus stop was very awkward, but that lasts for like 15 minutes then we're there. So no big deal!

Yay Megan....I'm glad that you had a good day! I just know that you will have a whole year full of them!

Awwww that's sounds so good. Your teacher for your 'theatre' class sounds so cool and my kind of person too. Nice that the Freshman and Seniors get to work together and help each other with their projects.

I don't think AlaskaYorkie better hear about the black leather, chains and piercing LOL

So glad you had a good day sweetie, I bet you are every teachers dream.

Good luck, Megan! I'm so excited for you!!! These will be the best 4 years of your life.:)

Sounds like you had a great day! I am so happy for you,enjoy these four years that fly by.

WOW- Someone is EXCITED! Good for you, I'm glad you had a great day! :thumbup:

Best Wishes in your high school years Megan!
I sent my baby off to high school this year too.
I will say I think I was way more nervous than
she was.

Aww Megan Im so happy that you had a good first day!!!!! Abs of Steel huh??? Wow Maybe I need to come to your school!!!!!

I am so glad you had a good day, I know you were nervous. I am new here, but you seem very sweet from the posts I seen and from the one on my thread, so I am sure you will make plenty of friends at this school. I know you will have a great school year.

Wonderful!
 

I'm so glad your high school years got off to a good start. Enjoy!:)

Woohoo! That sounds like a great first day. I'm pretty sure I got lost every day for a week before I settled in as a freshman. Thanks for the update.

Megan enjoy everyday, because it will go by so fast. Join everything you can while still keeping your grades up. This will be the best 4 years of your life.

I wanted to report in that I don't have much of a choice now when it comes to grades haha.

Yesterday in theatre, our teacher wrote on the board "Honor Roll Students." and she said "Whoever is going to make the honor roll this semester, raise your hand." and a couple people raised their hand. Then to everyone else she was like "If you're not raising your hand because you're scared you won't get it, shame on you. If you're not raising your hand because you don't care, get out now." So then like everyone raised their hand. If we don't get honor roll, we are going to be subject to public humiliation. haha.

I got my "blacks" today. Thats what she calls jazz shoes, black pants, and a black t-shirt. we need them for dance and when a professional comes in to teach us. Her husband is an actor or something, and on monday he's coming to work with us on Improv. fun!

Boy that theatre teacher is my kind of teacher. Now you can't let her put you through public humiliation.;)

Starting with the black stuff already, huh:lol tears

Way to go Megan!!!!!! Now, just cause you're in with the older kids wearing black and chains with odd piercings, don't be getting any ideas!!!!!!!

If you have any questions about pilates, just let me know!!!! You'll work like you never have before!!!! School sounds so fun, I hope you keep loving it!

You sure you're not just into Goth?

LOL, sounds like a great school, Megan.

You're right, you caught me. :rolleyes:
