Never Boring
So tell me, are things ever going to be boring again? So much is happening all at once, and even if it’s just a bunch of little things, good and bad, it really makes for easy excitement. I have yet to decide if I like it or not, because exciting can get overwhelming and scary, but boring can get… well, boring.
Things are still tense between Sarah and Janice. I haven’t mentioned this issue here yet. Basically it all comes down to this boy. And I’m trying to be diplomatic and I’m trying not to hear a one-sided story, but I can’t help but side more with Sarah on this one. In my opinion, she’s in the right. But what can I do to change things now? Nothing. And I’m not planning to cut off ties to Janice over this, because that would just be hypocritical, and being hypocritical is stupid.
Having Andrea around at school has been awesome. I’m so happy she switched over! I visited Janet very briefly after school before I had to bolt to the bus, which was retardedly full. Like, people hanging out the windows full. So I went to the other bus and was very lucky to get the last seat: beside Melissa. Muahaha!
I am so incredibly pleased with the seating plan in Computer Apps. Just the place I’m sitting in; head of the classroom; teacher on my left, and Aman sitting nearby. For once I really do feel like right-hand.. umm.. girl. I don’t know. It’s really hard to explain. Like, we’re taking Corel Draw right now, and next week we’re starting in on website designing. May I please go out on a limb and say that maybe I could help him as much as he could help me? Just give me a chance, you know? My teacher struck me as sort of impersonal on Wednesday when I met him, but I don’t think that anymore. I’ll bet he was just nervous, and he’s allowed to be nervous because he’s new to the school and boy do I know how that feels. I don’t think I stopped shaking once on the first day of grade ten. But because of the seating arrangements I got to talk to him a bit. And he complimented me not once but three times on my Corel picture.
I have a slight feeling that Bio is going to be a considerable stress-factor this year. How do I know? Because I’m already losing sleep over that class and I’ve been there two days!! My teacher is awesome but I can so tell that I’ll have to keep on my toes. Which I will, and therefore hopefully won’t be screwed over in her class?
Social is going to rock this year. Bring on the position papers! I had Mr. O’Brien last year. There is no way Mrs. Webber could dish out anything more absurdly difficult than the things he did. Paper written in class on a Friday—no notes, no drafts, no nothing. I got 80%. Yeah, bring on the take-home-for-one-week essays! Plus, Sarah’s in my class! Who better for your daily dose of hilarious sarcasm?
I said this already, but I have a good feeling about French this year as well. The atmosphere is really… relaxed. See, last year at the beginning, Madame didn’t know us, we didn’t know each other, and we were all kind of uneasy about speaking to one another. This year, Madame knows us, has inside jokes with us, and we more or less know everyone as well. It seems that my class is made up mostly of last year’s first semester’s 7/8 class, which I’ve heard was insanely funny. And that’s a good thing in a French class.
Creed’s really taken a new spot in my liking lately. Their CD Weathered has some really good songs on it. This morning I left home after just hearing the last track, with the repeated words, “Just give love to all.” I love how such a short, simple phrase can be so powerful and precise; it’s not, “Just give love to your friends, or love to your parents, or your brother or your enemies or your elders or your teachers or your cat,” no. Just give love to all. Twenty minutes later I was on the bus beside Jamie. Funny how things work out like that.
Just give love to all. Kind of reminds me of John 15:12.
