So today..was not what I expected. Surprisingly not once did I feel nervous to get to school. I had no idea how the day would unfold, I was scared about where to go in the morning, and on top of the fact I had to figure out the bus schedule which I wasn't so crazy about.
Well first off, the bus schedule turned out fine. Of course I had to leave earlier than I had the previous years taking the bus to Westminster, just to get on the 117 in front of Jasper Place where the bus was completely empty, the driver looked like the Hunchback of Notre Dom, and I only traveled a few stops before I got off just to get on the 710 School special.
Basically, it was a bit ridiculous but I had a talk with Chris on the phone and figured out that the Transit website actually was just fucking with my head, and I can take the 710 from the same bus stop I always have. When I woke up I had blurred vision, I literally couldn't see because I was so tired and my head felt like someone had poured molasses in my ears. I wasn't even a tiny bit excited to get to Shep, I didn't even care to be honest. I felt unsure of the bus routes, and unsure of the day but it all turned out.
So, My conclusion of the day and highschool is this: The day is what you make of it. Of course, the day was super incredibly boring. I had my fair share of embaressing moments but none that I really expected. The first one was that I was playing an improve game in my drama class, and bent down into a 'freeze' position where I had my mouth open. And of course being the dirty minds that my new class mates had, they burst out laughing and even the visiting grade twelves had some nice things to say. And when I tried to laugh to hide the fact that I wanted to cry because this drama class was not at all supportive like Westmin, my drama teacher told me to hold in the emotions. And I wanted to say "it's hard when the people arn't laughing with you, they're laughing AT you"
Then of course, I screamed "AUGH" In the hallway and some grade eleven girls walked by with smirks on their faces. My classes are all 80 minutes long, I didn't recognize many people in my classes and the people I met were all really timid, probably like I was anyways. So, I hope that Highschool gets a bit more exciting. That I actually talk to the people in my classes, and that I get to know people as well as I did at Westmin. Who says I can't love shep as much as I loved Westmin?
Lunch time was pretty memorable as well. Shep reminds me of that highschool in the movies with all the students and the run down halls. Shep is kind of falling apart and is stuck in the 70 and 80's era. Rebecca and I went to the Cafe which is in the basement but is so massive. And there is a huge store with a booster juice and hamburgers and cooks and what not. And I bought a burger, and it felt like a food court it was very convienient. After we bought our food we were carrying our trays looking around the room for a table and I started laughing because there was a 'Jock' table, a table full of stylish Asians, and etc. Tomorrow Rebecca agreed to eat outside with me in the courtyard with some of the Westmin girls because we ended up sitting with Sara Bezansen at a table with two of her new friends.
It was awkward...
So, I bussed home, got back. I felt really exhausted and bored with the day since the classes were so long. And I am seriously regretting not taking gym in the summer time because I would have got it over with and now I have to survive the wrath of many different activities throughout the year including swimming at the pool next door. And I know this is a girlish thing to say, but I don't want to have to deal with my hair for three weeks. But I'll have to. Augh.
There will be more highschool Diaries tomorrow. ;)
