Hi everyone! Sorry for not updating. If you read this, I hope you don’t blame me!
I started school. It. was. so. scary. I didn’t have that many classes with my friends, as I got to change into gifted and talented classes right before school started.
It’s been good though. It’s hard. I’ve had homework every single day this week. My teachers are super nice, and I’m starting to get back into the routine of everything going on. I miss my friends I don’t have classes with.
So as follows, school has been driving me insane. Insane. It’s really fun though, I have to admit. It’s still scary. My locker always get jammed, and it’s really starting to bug the crap out of me. Every single time I get a book, I have to get a screwdriver from my teacher and pry it open. I don’t know what the deal is, but I hate it. On the plus side, I have lunch with my friends!
Speaking of friends, you might know my friend Jessica. I’ve posted about her a few times. Well, she has a friend named Ali* and I knew Ali, but I haven’t talked to her much. Anyways, Jess became super close to Ali. Ali plays volleyball. Volleyball tryouts were Wednesday. Getting the picture?
Jess tried out for volleyball, and me being her best friend got dragged along. I am very accident-prone, bad at sports, suckish at gym sorts. :P Tryouts were fun. I really couldn’t walk the next day, I was so sore.
The next day, I went to check the cut list, really seeing if Jess made it more than me. She didn’t make it, which was a bummer. But I did. So, I was super confused, because a. I really sucked. and b. I’ve never played volleyball before Wednesday. So I went to tryouts today (Friday) just because I really had nothing to do after school, and Ali was still on the cut.
It was less work today. It wasn’t half as bad. At the end, they all called us over to tell us if we made it. There were some really good players trying out. Really good. I truly didn’t stand a chance. None. Zip. Zilch. Nada (is that Spanish?
) So, now this is kind of obvious of what’s going to happen to me.
Yes, I, accident prone nerd, made the popular volleyball team.
This has changed everything in about 8 hours. It’s really weird. The list of players gets around fast (Facebook, Twitter, texting, etc.) so everyone knew who made it pretty much an hour after tryouts ended. So, changing the subject a little bit, it was the High School’s first football game tonight at 7. This is like a huge deal for everyone who lives here. People were painting their faces, wearing school shirts, the whole thing.
It got rained out. Seriously, 2 hours before the game, it started pouring. So, the game is rescheduled till tomorrow, and everyone went to the movies tonight. Guess what everyone saw? Vampires Suck. God it was so funny! Seriously, whoever made that video is seriously a genius. Go see it. Anyways, everyone at the movie knew I made the team. I was automatically the person everyone was talking to, everybody suddenly knew who I was, just because of making a sports team. It’s weird how popularity goes, huh? Some of the most ‘popular’ kids in school suddenly sat next to me in the aisle. What the heck is up with that? Just weird.
This is really random, but my English teacher gave me one of those stupid book orders you always get in Elementary school, and it has the book ‘Mockingjay’ by Suzanne Collins. It’s the end to ‘The Hunger Games’. Has anyone read them? If you haven’t, they are really good. Please, read them. I’m not giving anything away. Really, it takes forever to understand them, but they are just amazing.
…sorry, that was random. Anyway, I’m going to sleep a little bit early. It’s been a super long day!
Goodnight, readers.
