Once again I have gotten to the point where I am sick of looking at my family's blog and seeing the same thing that is has been for the past month/s. It seems like my mom will do this to me on purpose just so I will take the initiative and write a new post. I don't know if she actually plans it, but whether she does or not it has worked and I AM WRITING A NEW POST...

A terrible thing occurred last Wednesday... that's right, school started. Ilah and Henry being as naive as they were, were actually excited for it. They had gotten their backpacks all filled with their school supplies the night before. They had packed special lunches and picked out their cutest outfits for the first day back. And the whole night before all they did was stay up and talk about how much fun school would be and how they hoped that their teacher would be as cool as they had seemed at the open house. The next day Ilah and Henry woke up early to get ready, eat breakfast and get to school on time. Needless to say, they were very annoyed with me when I caused them to be only twenty minutes early to school instead of thirty... I know I am a very cruel person. They came home beaming and claiming that it was the best first day of school ever!

I'm not sure how Tucker's first day of school was, seeing as after football practice he only makes the occasional grunt or two, but i assume it went well because he had no homework.

However, I am now a junior taking 3 college level classes, chemistry, and french 1, and you can only imagine how different my day was...

The night before I set a notebook, the 2nd work and the glory, and a pen in my purse. I made sure i had my tennis gear in a bag, and I went to sleep. The next morning I awoke to my alarm clock five times (I had pressed the snooze button four times), before deciding to go take a shower. I then waited for Tucker to get out of the shower. When I finally had gotten "ready", (My hair was wet, I was wearing older clothes, and I hadn't eaten breakfast yet) Ilah and Henry pushed me out the door and into the car.

When Tucker and I had arrived at the high school, I was greeted by a guy named Chris who had been in my orchestra class the year before. And I know what your thinking,"ooh, a guy was waiting for Taysom!" No, it wasn't like that at all, you see my friend Chris is a person who can NEVER stop talking. So, for the next 15 minutes I had my ear chewed off. I tried to introduce him to Tucker, hoping to draw his chatter elsewhere, but before I could Tucker had walked away to go put his football gear in the locker room. But even though that plan didn't work, I eventually explained to Chris that I had not had breakfast yet and was able to depart from him.

After having the nutritious breakfast of a chocolate muffin, I made my way to the library and compared schedules with my friends. Unfortunately, I did not have many classes with friends. (This didn't surprise me because I am taking three dual credit classes, and who else is crazy enough to do that as a junior?)

Throughout the rest of the day I collected five syllabi's, 2 hours of homework, and 1 big head ache. Don't get me wrong, I am very happy to reunite with friends and to have something to do with my day, but I am not overjoyed with my new weekend homework and not being able to sleep in. Growing up is so much fun! lol

To all of you starting school, I do wish you a happy first day of school! And I'll be crossing my fingers that you don't get homework :)
