The Rain

It rained today...I love when it rains. I call it a lullaby of gray. I like to think it washes our cares away, and then when the clouds disappear and the sun comes out we have a clean slate. Staring out the window, you feel sad. The rain, the clouds, the fact that you won't get to play mini golf after school. But it makes you feel calm, you know...gray, it's a calm color. The sound of raindrops is soothing, like a lullaby...At least, that's how I feel. It makes you sad, but calm and soothed at the same time, like a lullaby. Like God singing a lullaby of gray.

First day of school!

Well, it's official, summer is over...although I suppose it can't be official until September 21 rolls around. But, school has started. And it isn't all that bad...we have some cool teachers. My science teacher is the best teacher. ever. She's funny, super-nice, and is always teasing us. In a cool way. My language teacher is a strong believer in making writing fun, and no homework on weekends. She also proclaimed that she has a love for Guitar Hero, and might show up to school wearing fuzzy slippers. My social studies teacher is a HUGE Jets fan. Which disappoints me. And I honestly can hardly understand him when he talks. I think his mouth goes too fast and his brain tells him to slow down, causing a speech impediment that annoys the crap outta me. He's also new, making him likely to be one of those teachers that will not let you get away with anything for fear of being labeled as "that new teacher" who let's everything by. The one good thing about him, however, is that he lets us pick our seats. Thank God for that small gesture. Moving on to math...we have a new math teacher, who claims "the state will come after her if she teaches us anything extra." huh? I do recall being told last year that I would be in advanced math this year...so much for that. Oh, and she gave us homework already. Our assignment? to write a letter to ourselves about our goals and fears for this year. fun. And the worst of it all? I sit near someone who just won't shut up. He sings. all the time. I suppose it's not that bad, and sometimes can be fun...we got into an awesome rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody before lunch!...but if I have to hear "oompa-loompa, doopidy doo" one more time I'll strangle myself.

I have most classes with my friends though, which is good. I just can't believe that my wake up call has moved from 12:00 to 6:15 in so little time. Ah, well. It was bound to happen sooner or later...but why can't it be later?

New blog and end of summer...

Well, I like to write and I hate diaries. I also have a strong love for my laptop, so I figured I'd start a blog! By the way, the url and title of this blog do NOT have to do with Miley Cyrus, I'd like you to know that I'm better than that. Anyone who knows me knows that I, um, dislike her. with a passion. This has to do with that annoying song that goes "Sing a simple song! (everybody sing) Sing a simple song! (everybody sing) Open your heart, gotta make a new start. Just sing a simple song!" As sick as I am of that song, I agree with the fact that singing a song, no matter how simple a song, will make things better. And guess what?? I'm singing right now. Because my friends, school starts tomorrow. The minute I step into that building is the minute summer ends. And that makes me very sad...Summer went by so fast this year. I'll miss it! On the bright side, I'll get to see all those weirdos I call friends. That makes it a little bit better...OH, and my science teacher is the best teacher EVER! That's cool too.....so, Farewell Summer. See you soon!
