So, in the tradition of others before me and those to follow afterwards, here's an almost blow-by-blow narration of my first day back in the halls of LVA.

English II H

Algebra II H
Chemistry I H
Visual Design II

Before school started sis and I waited out in the open middle grounds waiting for Wendy to show up. We met a lot of our friends from last year, said hi to a bunch of people, gawked at eachother's new looks, and tried to syphon out this year's freshmen batch... Which was quite hard seeing that they were, on average, taller than my class was and there for blended in better.

During homeroom, met up with Rica, Danica, Taiter, and others. Turned in the necessary forms, got more that needed to be signed, and then we were sent off to our first class.

In Japanese Bernau sensei (who now uncanningly resembles the female news caster for Fujisankei news) said how grown up we all looked. John wasn't in the class and neither was Valyn so that disappointed me; not to mention Kyle was there this time 'round. I was a bit surprised when I saw a freshmen in the class, but that means he must be exceptionally bright in Japanese to skip a class... a hypothesis that was disproved when he fumbled up speaking nihongo. Tomorrow we have to introduce ourselves to the class in japanese a la the "new student" style.

English promises to be a fun class. Got my old teacher from last time so I felt really comfortable with her. Wendy was in the same class along with Danica, Steph, Tiyahna, Gevie, and a couple of others. Nothing too remarkable about that class.

Photo class... BIG relief. The teacher from last year is gone and now a better, less-asshole-esque one has taken his place. She seems to be doing well for her first year at the school... have that class with Lauren and Leah's friend, but no one else in there I know very well.

World History... a.k.a. Queensville. I'll get to that part later. I have a feeling that this, next to art, will be my favorite class of the year. Lauren's in it along with Jen, Liz, Leilani, Claire, Eric, and Joey. Careers teacher from last year is now teaching the class which will flavor the period with her monotonous, "Daria" sarcasm. But... well, the level of sheer queer flamboyance in the room is staggering. Joey himself is a strong enough presence which is complimented by the support of his two best consorts in the room. Add Eric to the equation with his own set of "fag hags" and... you get the idea. It seems like fun at first, but I fear it'll become very tiresome.

Algebra has nothing of interest to say besides that the teacher teaches with puppet animals.

Chemistry promises to be interesting. Lauren's there accompanied with 50% of the room occupied by theater majors. Leah's there, but I couldn't find a seat near her to just sit and chat with. Jyl and Marcy are there, along with Brady. The teacher though... she can't teach worth shit. Taking the word of my classmates who had her last year... I have I feeling I'll be consulting my textbook far more often. As opposed to my last science teacher who, despite the backbreaking mountains of homework, worksheets, and tests, did manage to pound the entire textbook into my head. Sigh.

Art... not too thrilled with the people in the class. I can associate with Patrycka, Gen, Cassy, mi hermana, and Raven, but the other set of people like Mike, Dominique, and Melissa. Stupid hyper-attitude-sensitive egotistical artists... The new teacher's not so bad... but she does seem a bit apprehensive. Oh well.


And so far, no prospective freshmen. Damn.
