High School Thus Far

High school so far has been a bigger change for me than most of my fellow classmates. See, I have never in my life sat foot in a public school. Getting up and actually choosing my clothes is completely foreign to me. Seeing fellow classmates walk the halls with multi-colored hair, pants sagging bellow their hinds, its all brand new. With some it is hard to tell if they are male or female. I think off myself as an infant seeing things for the first, awe struck, but still shy and nervous about everything new.

As far as the specific education side off school, all seems to be normal. There are a lot more questions asked in classes then at St. Michael. Global Ed. is brand new. The amount of writing to me is beyond what Ive ever experienced. It is hard only because off how strict the topics are. Most prior writing assignments Ive had were pretty loose and a variety off topics were available.

I am continuing to play football, which I think was a good decision. Coach Gabel said it best when he you wouldnt be getting the full high school experience if you didnt play football. Football here is drasticly harder than at Mikes. I am not used to losing either. St. Mikes was undefeated since the fifth grade. "Second Stringers" were more like "Second Halfers" because we were able to march the ball down the field and out the game out of reach by halftime.

Lunch here is also different than at my old school. Although the cafeteria food here is delicious.

Im not sure if it is different for me because of coming from a public school or simply because its high school? I guess that in all walks of life there are changes to go through, and I hear high school is where the best times of your life are...
