Hello High school!

Guess what? I'm a freshman!

So the first day I realized that high shcool was waaaaaaaay different than middle school.

I walk in and no one is there.....apparently school doesn't start at 7:30. School completely empty except for a few teachers and maybe five kids. So that was a low.

Within the first week the difference was extraordinary. I walk into Spanish 2 and it was surprising. He came in and I couldn't understand anything. I finished quarter one with a 79. Did I ever tell you that I hate grades with a 9. 79s, 89s I hate. So that is my only C on my report card so far.

So in middle school I would not study and get straight As, now i study and manage an A B honor roll. So fun times for me.

Also my social life in middle school wasnt great in middle school.....so high school's social bottomless hole. Not a walk in the park.....I am lost.

So fast forward to now.

I can understand my Spanish teacher and am pretty good with my ability at Spanish.

I am still horrible with being social.

Wish me luck

All I Want For Christmas Is A Bike

I'm so sorry I haven't written in a while. I'll explain why later.

I LOVE Christmas so much. I went to bed knowing that I wouldn't have anything under the tree but knowing I would go on a shopping spree. 

I woke up next morning knowing there would be nothing under the tree and I didn't care but I cared....does that make sense? So I got ready and walked to my mommy and daddy sitting down on the couch. Daddy told me to move the trash bin and recycling bin to the street.....so I did. When I got back, I realized i dropped a few things..But I went inside anyway. Then later that day, daddy told me to pick it up. I did and I went inside.

They told me and Brooke to go to our room....so we did. We went out and BAM! Lincoln Logs, chocolate, candy, and an apple! He then told us to go outside and the best bikes I have ever seen! My reaction was running around the yard (And yes i realized later that a freaking bike was sitting right in front of me). 

So yeah..... best Christmas ever. I will say that every year.

Will write when I can.
