Some Things Are Meant To Be

Wow. Today was my second day as an upperclassman...and my second day at my new school. One question has been nagging at me, sucking out my soul, and finding its way into my nightmares. Ok, just kidding. But seriously, I keep asking myself: Where the heck did my summer go?! It's crazy. I can't believe it's over. 

I like Trinity a lot so far. It'll be interesting to see how second term goes, though, because all of my hard classes (AP U.S. History, Algebra II, Chemistry) managed to find there way into that term *gulp*. It's really intimidating and slightly awkward seeing as I only know a few people. I like my first term classes a lot though (Honors English, Cooking, Creative Writing, and a free period to work on math because I suck at it - haha). The people, especially the teachers, have been really welcoming. It's odd though, because I've found that the teachers are completely different than all the ones I have previously had. My  English teacher is hard of hearing, so she knows how to read lips. Some people laughed at that and some thought it was cool. She smiled kind of mysteriously and then said "Yeah, it's helpful to me, but when I catch you saying 'Wow...she is such a b***h' you won't be laughing so much...nor will you think it's cool". I sat there for a minute and just thought ".....wait. Did my TEACHER just swear in a class?" I was stunned. I wasn't offended by it or anything, but it made me realize that I'm in a different environment. I do like it a lot though. My cooking/home ec. teacher is hilariously old fashioned. She cringes at the things people say about letting future babysitters drive their future kids wherever they want - which I don't like the thought of either. But again, it's a different place. People are really different. There are most definitely pros AND cons to the whole thing, but I'm having fun and I feel closer to God now than I did at the Lyceum...weird, I know, but since I was so unhappy there, it was really hard to connect to Him. That's all changing. Slowly but surely. And I'm really grateful for it. 

Hope you're all having a great night. God bless!!
