Okay, here's the scoop, or, What I've been doing

The new semester started on monday. I spent the day fighting off tears, because on every "first day" I become "that girl" the completely insecure, scared, (same generally temperament of an abused dog.) I sit in the front and count the minutes until I can go home, curl under the blankets and cry, eventually sleep.

Last semester was very successful, it appears that my, "ok, I'm not really going to put much effort into anything" plan worked. I got everything about 80% which is nice and cushy.

(First period) Comm Tech, proves to be just as slack as last year. We are modifying the newspaper format, and we have so far spent three days reading newspapers, and writing practice articles on our exam break. The teacher is just as spacey as ever, and despite asking to print photos on Monday, I have yet to do so. Gears are broken or something.

(Second Period) Sculpture 10. Another almost entirely brainless class. I've done four of the six projects at an earlier time, so, it seems stupid. I'm done one already, working on most of them at home, and hoping to finish them all soon and have a spare.

(Third Period) Third period began as the most hideously boring science 20 class in existence, with a teacher who resembles the father of Full House. It became my Pure Math 20 class. The teacher, has an interesting sense of humor... she doesn't quite understand why she's funny, and she's mostly scary funny, as math teachers tend to be. Scary. I feel like I'm drowning in the class. It's like swimming lessons and I just can't float. I've been telling people all day I might as well be in a German 30 class for all I understand. No one is listening, it doesn't look like I'll be switching to Applied any time soon. I spent roughly five hours on math today, three in class, two for homework. This seems insane to me. But whatever.

(Period 4) Science 20. This was originally a math class, in which the teacher talked faster than I could write, and I'm guessing her goal was to get through the entire unit in one day. I was in tears at one point. It became a decent Science 20 class, in which the teacher is nice, and speaks clearly and is very very calm, and the rest of the class is full of rather interesting people. I'm sure it will be fine.

Meanwhile, I've been looking at this school. I'm sure my unhealthy obsession is highly unlikely to develop into me switching schools, yet again. However it's not completely unlikely, because this tends to be a pattern with me.

All outside of school projects, including mailing, have been put on hold. I will send the zines I promised by Friday. Everything else might take a while.

I believe that is all.
