Since I don't have anything better to do I might as well write something here I guess. :P
So my first day of school was yesterday... I was kind of nervous because I had to change my schedule, and the only way I could make it work was if I took AP Calculus instead of the super-easy math I wanted to take. But it hasn't been too rough so far (though it's only the first few days), and the teacher actually seems kind of cool. That helps. :3
Anyway, first day I did a whole lot of nothing in the morning. I had treble choir (which isn't much of a class, we just go and sing XDD), and then three study periods in a row. Beginning tomorrow I'll be using two of those periods on Monday, Wednesday and Friday to take a class at the uni in this town, Allegheny College. I'm taking Beginning Latin I there, so hopefully that should be exciting... I got on ratemyprofessors.com and looked up the professor I'm going to have, and all her reviews are positive so yay. :D
In the afternoon I have calculus, and then Spanish V... Spanish is going to be rather interesting I think, seeing as there are only two other people in the class (other than me). Hopefully it will be "interesting" in a good, lots of individual attention way. After Spanish I have AP English, which was the only class I did coursework over the summer for... luckily the teacher just graded the worksheets we had to do on completion, which is good for me since everything I wrote was pretty much rubbish. And we have an in-class essay tomorrow but she hasn't told us what the essay is going to be about.
Last period is AP European History... we got four books on the first day which got a lot of people whining and saying they wanted to drop the class, but the teacher said we aren't going to be using them all at once so I'm not too stressed out about it. And I actually think this may end up being one of my favorite classes, if not my favorite class. History classes can be pretty boring, but today the teacher was saying some really interesting things and I was actually kind of disappointed when the bell rang and cut him off. It's a rare occurrence when I'm sad a class is over. He was describing some really sad events in history during class and I actually felt myself tearing up a little bit. XD
Anyway, I think lunch is going to prove to be interesting because there's really nobody I usually talk to who has lunch the same time as me. But perhaps it will be a good thing... I was talking to a girl, Nadia, I used to be in marching band with in eighth grade but who I've never really talked to since... and I had a pretty nice chat with her and at the end of the period she said that I seemed like a much happier and less shy person than I was in eighth grade. And I was flattered really because I was thinking wow maybe I'm not quite so much of a social tard now. |D I'm improving!
Well that's all I think. ^^ The end?

Apologies for being so inconsistent. XD It's hard to blog regularly, it is!
Anyway, I think I mentioned before that I was about to start my hotel maid job. Well, it didn't last very long. :3 I quit after two days. It was really too much; I couldn't stand it, and I think if I had worked a full week I would have been out of my mind by the end of it. It was just... gah... so much work. And it was also a full-time job: five days a week, eight or nine hours a day. While I would have made a lot of money that way, I wouldn't have any time to enjoy it, so. :\ Figured it wasn't worth it. Especially for a crappy job I hated.
So I got another job, at an Italian restaurant in town called Chovy's. I'm a busperson, which means I clear tables, wipe them down and re-set them. There's also some other sidework I do like wash windows, change trash cans and sweep floors, but the majority of it is busing tables. So far I've worked 2 days a week and four or five hours at a time at most. It's a much more tolerable schedule, and while the work isn't fabulously fun, it's much less grueling than cleaning hotel rooms. I'm only a high school student, I don't want to work full time!
Probably needless to say, but, Ryan is living here now. ^____^ I'm really glad to have hiim around, and I hope we don't get too sick of each other. I hope he can find a job here, too; he's at an interview now for a position as a nurse's aide in a nursing home. (He has to get certified first, but the training is free.) I think it must be kind of strange to have your boyfriend living in the same place as you when you're sixteen. At least, I've never seen it happen before. XD Not that I'm complaining. I suppose I should be grateful to my parents, though, for being willing to let him stay here until he can support himself and getting along with him and such. I know that a lot of parents, if asked to be put in the some position, would say something along the lines of, "You want your 23-year-old internet-boyfriend to come live here with his sixteen-year-old girlfriend!?!? No way!"
But, speaking of my age, my birthday is on Thursday. My mom suggested that I have a party and while I'm not a big fan of parties, meh, I figured I might as well since then I'll get more gifts. ;) I know I'm awful for saying that, but it's true. XDD I created a Facebook event thing for it, and while most have declined so far, there are actually several people who have said they will come, so that's cool... Maybe I'm not completely unloved by my fellow Meadvillites?
Heh, I dunno that I have anything else interesting to say (if the above can be considered interesting). Just a bit of an update I suppose.
