[Insert pretentious name here]

So my first day of school starts tomorrow. I will be starting high school at Colonel Gray or "the gray". Now the response I normally get after saying I'm not looking forward to school is something along the lines of "You are starting a new school though! It will be exciting!". I really don't like school though. I find it boring and repetitive and I haven't had a good experience with school since grade 6 when I had a teacher who taught things that I was interested in and actually challenged me to think instead of mindlessly repeating the same math problems. Since then, I have been given no reason to enjoy school, other than the social aspect of course. Maybe this year, since I have a bit more choice in subject (I say a bit more because I still have very little) I will like the subjects I pick. Actually, probably not because I will miss most of the second semester, where all of my chosen subjects are. Now there is something to look forward to. I rarely look forward to things with much enthusiasm, but spending three months in France is something that I am really looking forward to. FX, the person who I will be staying with in France and is staying with me now, is a really nice guy, which is good because I will be spending another 5 months with him :D We have more in common than I originally might have thought from the information I received about him. The courses I will be taking for the first semester are Math, Science, French and Band/Gym. I am not quite worried, I am...let's say "interested" at how I will handle the relativly hard course load. I guess I have been taking Math and Science at the same time for the past nine years, but who knows...maybe high school will be hard ;)

I spoke with a dear friend with whom I hadn't spoken with for a while this morning. It was good to hear from her. She seems to be doing fairly well as she heads towards summer break (??) although she is a little homesick. That is to be expected though, and it is all part of the rotary experience. I know she'll forget about us all soon enough ;)

As I am re-reading my post, I am realizing that I write in a style that must be very difficult for the average person to read. I write as I am thinking, and I can think a lot faster than I can type, so I tend to start something, finish it in my head then move on to something else, realize I didn't finish it on the computer so go back to it. It makes for very jumpy reading. Wow. That was confusing too. Maybe it would be best if I don't write what is in my head.

*Sigh* I confuse myself sometimes...
