It is too crowded at school! Mayn! Just getting out of that place is like....aaaaaaahhhh!
Theres just mobs of pple crammed into the hallways. We all are trying to get to class, or at the end of the day leave school, and u can't move cause there r too many gosh darn pple!

NEwayz, school was pretty cool. I love AP Psychology!! Howie is soo cool! Its so funny in there!

AP English Lit. teacher was acting...odd....again. lol. its just so funny! lol. Though, he never fails to mention Oxford....what the heck?? Do WE care about Oxford??? Are WE from England?? no....leave it alone....gosh...he is so pressed about that!

I tell u...the tech teachers have been havin some serious pms lately! Yesterday, Frederick went off on his class, then went off on this one boy in my class. My teacher also went off on the juniors in my class (read last blog entry). NEwayz, today, my teacher got pissed cause someone stole a lock off one of the lockers, and he slammed a door and beat on the locker door. Everyone was like...ok... And then Frederick came in pulling a t.v. And this boy comin into the classroom starts pushing it too. And Frederick just went off! He yelled at him then reached out and grabbed him, but the boy pulled away and was like...get off me. And Frederick was like "If I needed ur help i woulda asked for it!!!!" Then he slammed some doors. mayn....angry pple.

My Calculus teacher came today. First day w/ her. She seems nice, though i've heard she's really nice but really hard. Though, she said that she encourages you to ask questions, even if we think they are dumb, and she will always help us through it. ha. haha....she hasn't met me yet....she don't know how many questions i ask! lol. But thats good...cause i need some serious math help. Hopefully ill catch up in this class.

I got an A on my "Pride and Prejudice" test! I got 44 of 50 right, but my teacher graded on a curve so i ended up w/ 50 of 50! yeah!
Speaking of "Pride and Prejudice," i gotta post my summer book reviews on my site. I'll put them up over the weekend...now, for homework....


o yeah! thanx danelle for the Tiger!! it so cuute!! And Happy Birthday Alanna and Jacki!!!

~Third day of Senior Year in School~

How is it going, u ask? Its okay. My biggest issue is that i dont see alot of my friends at all....they dont have class with me...lunch w/ me....and i havent seen them in the halls yet. So thats a huge blow. Espeacially since i keep remembering...there is no next year. This is it. aww....

My bus is still always late. Today i was 5 minutes late to school...the day before was also about 5 minutes late. I wanna be there early! Last year we'd get to school about 40 minutes early, and would walk the halls and talk w/ friends. It would be fun. This year...i havent been able to do that yet. and i want to. I also wanna say hi to some of my old teachers. come on bus...get it together!!

Classes were pretty cool today. RP i did nothing...talked to Hope, Brittany (sp? i dunno how she spells it..) and Paul and Ricky. Then i went to AP psychology. i love that class! Its my favorite one. The teacher is so funny! And it really makes u think about different things. It is just hilarious.

Next i have a double period of AP english literature. Thats my second favorite class...lol. The teacher is so gay!!! lol. And he was talkin about all this stuff today. He was like...."O..M...G...if you have never experienced tea....NOW is the time!!!" we all were crackin up!! and he was talking about his cat or somethin...and was like "oooohhh! I get chill bumps just THINKING about it!" lol...hes hilarious w/out tryin to be... Though we had a test on Pride and Prejudice today. I didnt think it was that bad...i predict a B. Though, he said he'd grade it on a curve, because alot of the questions were circumstantial. Its all good.

Lunch was cool too. Sharis was there again...naughty naughty...and we talked w/ her, Danelle, Tempest and Antionette (sp?). After lunch i went to productions and structural systems. Mrad went off on the class today....too many damn juniors. They dont shut up and they act so retarded! geez...so that was sorta crappy today. Then in Calculus we had a pre-test. omg...i am so scared of that class!!! I hate math...i can't do math....and i got a very hard teacher and its 7th and 8th period. I knew nearly nothing on the practice test. I know we learned most of it...but i forget! i hate my bad memory! I can't wait til our real teacher comes...i will be comin to tutoring for sure this year....i can't get 2 bad grades. This year is important.

That was my day. mayn...getting out of the school is sooo hard! Theres too many freakin pple! Our school is over 125% overcrowded. There are always crowds of pple at a standstill trying to get to class or out of school. There better not be a fire, or all our @sses are dead. I wanna see exactly how many students we have. Last year, our website said there were like...2,500 somethin students; though all the teachers said the real number was 2,700 somethin. Im guessing we've passed the 3,000 mark. And we're all crammed into a building made for 1,700 people...

First day of school. First day as a SeNiOr!!!! o yeah!!! lol. It was a pretty good day. I likes seeing people again (though I still haven't seen alot of people). Heres how my day went along my schedule:

First off, my bus was SUPPOSED to come at 8:59am, and school starts at 9:30am. Well....my bus didnt come til 9:20am, and so i was 10-20 minutes or so late for 1st period.
1st period I have RP engineering. nice teacher...i kno everyone in the class (though i really am only close friends w/ like 2 or 3), and the class itself is b.s. (though the rp project isn't...).
I walked w/ iris to 2nd period, which is AP Psychology. I don't know many pple in that class, and i really only talk to sarah cause she sits near me...but the teacher and class so far seem fun.
Then I have AP English Literature as a double period. lol. I love this class so far!! omg..first of all...i know and am friends w/ alot of pple. Secondly...lol...the teacher is gay....and it was just soooo funny today! I can't really put down all the funny stuff in class today, cause u really had to be there...it was so funny! ima like this class i think.
After this is lunch. The cafeteria is SO PACKED!! I mean...LOTS of pple had to stand around cause there weren't enough seats. I sit w/ Tempest and Danelle. it was cool tho...i was happy they were there. And 5th period is a good time for lunch. They have added a 7th period lunch, so now pple have lunch at 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th periods. wow. thats like...breakfast AND dinner!
Then i have Mrad for productions and structural systems. This should be a fun class, though i dont really have any friends in there. There are only 9 seniors and alot of juniors. None of the pple i am real close w/....so im sorta blown at that. This is my b.s. class and theres no one to talk to! o well...hopefully that would get better...cool teacher.
My final class is a double period of AP Calculus AB w/ O'Neal. She is nice, but real hard....but shes a good teacher (all from what i hear). I know lotsa pple here, so thats cool. Though, our teacher wasn't here today and won't be in til about thursday, so i cant tell you how she is. im afraid of calculus...i hate math and i am really, really bad at it. Not to mention, this is the last class of the day...not good...i get real restless....and its 2 periods long...i dont think i can take it...

Lets see....any changes w/ the school? Lots of teachers are gone...either retired or they left. There are TONS of pple...the school is REAL crowded. i mean....its alwayz crowded...but i think there is definately more pple here than last year. I was at a stand-still trying to get to class several times today. And some pple push alot! OMG!! this one guy thought i was a freshman!! Ive seen him b4, and i know he's either a sophmore or a junior...im pretty sure a sophmore tho. And its all crowded, and the guy is all pushin and swinging through the hallways. And he sorta shoves me and some other pple to the side... and i turn around and glare at him. Ane he looks at me and is like..."There's too many f*ing freshmen!!" and im just like uh....hello! "Im a SENIOR!" get it rite, buddy. I hate pple who push and shove through the hallway. it doesnt help the problem, it just pisses pple off and makes u hot.
Anywayz, the feshman class is real big this year....ill find out a number later. But not only are there alot of new students, but over 200 of last years freshmen got held back and have to repeat 9th grade. Over 200!!! That is laughable. its so sad. Thats the problem w/ Oxon Hill.....too many come in...and not enough go!! Its a vicious cycle....you come in...and u stay. but not me! noooo siir! Im not on a 5-year plan! This is my LAST YEAR!!! o yeah!

O! There is a good change though! We finally have a gym! For those of u who dunno, our gym was condemned the beginning of my sophmore year. They tore it down in the summer of my junior year and began rebuilding it. Now, it is DONE! the outside looks nice! It will open in about a week, so im happy bout that. Only thing is, the gym looks a 100 times better than our school does! The gym is all nice looking...the school is a piece of crap! im like...it looks bad, standing next to such a crappy school building!! o well...one more year...ill make it.... :)
