First week of High School, Doctor Who, and FARMVILLE.

My first week of high school was this week. It was pretty good. So far, it seems bearable, but I've only been through one week, so we'll see.

The schedule is set up so there are four of the eight classes on each day, and they're 93 minutes long. Much different from the Middle School schedule with all classes every day and only 45 minutes long. The time change is going to take some getting used to, but I think I'll be able to do it. My teachers all seem nice, but it's only the beginning of the year! So far my favorite classes are Biology, English, and Latin II. Speaking of English, I think I wrote a KILLER essay on Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. I hope the teacher thinks it's as awesome of an essay as I think it is.

A lot of my friends are talking about this facebook application called Farmville, and OH MY GOSH it is AWESOME. I'm at level 4 or something, and my farm is really small, because I just started, but it's SO ADDICTING! My strawberries are almost done growing! SOOO, you should all get a farm so I can become your neighbor and I can send you STUFF. It's some pretty awesome stuff.

There was a Doctor Who marathon on SyFy Friday, but I was at school when they showed them. However, I recorded them all and stayed up a good portion of the night watching them. They were all around the time with the 10th doctor and Rose Tyler. I hadn't seen any of the episodes they showed, which was good. A really good episode I watched was the one called "The Doctor's Daughter" It had Martha Jones and Donna Noble instead of Rose, and was very interesting and you should watch it because I'm not going to tell you about it. Another good one was one about a High School that, after a UFO sighting, seems to have imossibly brilliant kids. The Doctor is reunited with two of his old companions from when he was his Third/Fourth incarnation, Sarah Jane Smith and K-9, the robotic dog. Very good episode that you will also have to watch. Oh, and Queen Victoria, she's a WEREWOLF.

Insert excuse about not blogging HERE

I really have no excuse for not blogging for almost a month. I've been on the computer pretty much all the time, but just never blogged. SORRY!

Anyway, my friend introduced me to this show called NCIS about a month ago, and I've been watching it pretty much constantly. I've seen almost all the episodes all ready, and am VERY excited for the new season September 22. Also, the spin off NCIS: Los Angeles looks awesome too.I never really watched a lot of T.V. until this summer. I've been watching a lot of nerdy shows. Doctor Who, Torchwood, Warehouse 13, NCIS, are the shows I've mainly been watching.

I really haven't been reading, like, at all because I've been watching all this television. I have to read for school (which starts next week) and then have to write a paper on the book the first week. I picked a good book, Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. It's REALLY long though. A bit over 500 pages, with small print. I chose it because not many students in my grade would voluntarily pick Dickens. I'm hoping to start with a good first impression on my english teacher by choosing a somewhat harder book than other students. I have until Monday to finish it, which I KNOW I can do.

I start High School Monday. I'm not super nervous about it, because I'm staying at the same school I've been in since Kindergarden. I'm only nervous about my grades. This is where it COUNTS. I need to do well so I can get into a good college and get a good career. It's rather unnerving...

On another note, I went to my friend's family coffee shop and got a smoothie. We talked about school next week, NCIS, and some other stuff. It was pretty fun. Hopefully I can go there more often in the future.

Anyway...I promise to blog more. Well, I promise to TRY to blog more.
