In two weeks I am officially a high schooler.  Man, only a few days ago I was so stressed about what classes I need to take, what classes I shouldn't take, how different it's going to be, the whole thing about high school.  But last night my mom and I sat down and figured out what classes I'll be taking and now I'm so excited to start!!!

So, my first semester I'll be taking these classes:
Creative Writing
Math
Life Skills
Drama

Drama takes up all of after lunch, so it's like two classes.  But, drama only lasts the first semester.  So, my second semester is going to look like this:
Lit (in place of Creative Writing)
Careers 1
Health
Math

And because there aren't any classes I need to be taking after math for the last hour, I get to go home!  This year is going to be awesome! 
Oh!  Then logic/debate is being taught on Tuesdays, so I get to take that class if there isn't too much homework involved.  (Even if there was, I would love to take that class!). 
My favorite teacher is teaching Creative Writing and Lit, and he's written a book or two.  I can't wait for him to teach me writing! 
DRAMA!!!!!!!!  I fell in love with this last year when we practiced for the play "Did Someone Say Murder?"  That year of drama wasn't the best.  We made TONS of mistakes in the three performances we had to put on, but we had a blast learning it.  Hopefully this year, though, the people that didn't really put much into acting and learning their lines have learned their lesson and will work harder this year.  I REALLY HOPE SO!!!

So, for high school, you have to have a certain number of credits for each class.  My mom and I have figured it so that my electives are saved for Running Start, so I can do anything I want for at least some of the schooling.  (By the way, Running Start is a program where you can start your two years of college your last two years of high school, so you're doing both and you get your AA when you graduate from high school). 

That's it for now.
