My Crazy Awful Beautiful Life

September 16, 2008

Finally Settled!!!

Well, we are finally settled!!! About time!!! My room is just about done, just need to get my desk in there and buy another shelf!! It's been quite a while since I've posted...poor blog!! :P Anyways, lots of stuff to tell.

How was the move?

Well to be honest, a pain in the butt!! But we are all happy to be back at "home"! We've gotten alot done in the past few weeks, but were able to take some time to relax and not think about unpacking and such as well. We found a few resturants that have become our favorite. Much different than Austin though, not much in this little 'ole town!!

How's School?

So far it's ok, much more challenging then Austin, as the teachers actually teach you instead of letting you do what you want, we are trying to adjust to this, much harder than before though. I'm taking a pre-college class, Geometry, not too bad, just get confused with some of the vocab and I'm taking a college level class, World History, the teacher speaks his mind, but is able to help us learn better this way because he gives us his opinion instead of just reading what other people say, I've gotten a better view on all of the things I am learning so far, having some trouble with note taking, I can take notes, but I don't seem to get enough information, he lets us use whatever notes we have written on our test, which makes it easier for some questions. My other classes are:

English 2, which I am working on getting the grade up in that class, once again having trouble with all of the vocab that is on the tests, but I'm doing good on all of the Essays and Reports, guess that's a good thing because it's a major part on the TAKs test coming up.

Physics, with Mrs. Davis, she is an awesome teacher!! Dropped out of Pre-AP Physics because it was too hard for me as I do not know Algebra 2. In my other school Chemistry was taken in 10th grade so that in 11th you would be in Algebra 2 and Physics at the same time so you would be learning everything you need to know around the same time, but not in this school. Luckily she is able to take the time to teach us this which is helpful because in Pre-AP Coach Hornback didn't have time. So far so good in that class.

French!!!! I totally love that class!!! Madame Van Hooser is another awesome teacher! I've learned to count to 100, learn which nouns are female and male, colors, how to ask your name, how you're doing, and how to say hello in 2 different ways, also the difference between a formal and informal greeting. We got to pick a French name the 2nd week of school, I picked Gisele because it was my moms French name when she took French in High School.

Web Mastering with Mr. Williams, he gives us a ton of free days.... who wouldnt love that teacher!!! Basically we learn how to well... master the web!! Right now we are working with HTML and other codes inbetween our free days.

Art..... Well I don't mind it but I detest the teacher!!! Mrs. Ing....... She always puts down your work and doesnt like you unless you are very artistic... umm HELLO NEWS FLASH!! This is Art 1 we are taking.... isnt this supposed to help us become artistic?!!! She told my table partner today that she hated her piece of work and thought it looked like shattered glass, she spent forever working on this project. She told me that I needed to add some more circles and "highways" to mine... meh oh well, not failing in her class atm and I'm doing the best I can....Although we do have to paint tomorrow, not sure how pretty that will be.

Well that's it with the classes, haven't made many friends yet, but I recognize alot of old friends I used to know, just to scared to go up and talk to them.... even saw my old B.F.F. but too much of a chicken to go talk to her!! I do have 2 classes with my brother which is kinda cool.

Scrapbooking?

I've gotten a few things done!! This weekend I took Sunday and did nothing but scrap! I haven't been feeling to good so I figure a day of that wouldn't hurt I took pics of a few of the things I did. I'll show them down futhur in the post.

Blogs and Scrappy Sites!

I have been so behind on visiting blogs I will try to attempt that tonight. Need to get caught up on the scrappy sites as well..
