Okay, to explain the title of this post... For one thing, there's the whole "OMG, I'm an EXCHANGE STUDENT." thing, in that case the 'start' would be when I got the phone call saying that I was accepted (though I'm still waiting for a letter or e-mail about my placement...). However, the 'start' could also be seen as today, since I get to go out with my Japanese teacher for dinner and have some real Japanese food. It's sort of pitiful, with how I've been learning Japanese for more than 3 years now... But, yeah. I'm going to go and try all sorts of new things. 

Sure, it's not for certain that I'll be in Japan yet. But that's what I'm hoping... And my Japanese teacher has been offering to take me out to eat sometime for quite a while, so... Yeah. I hope I end up liking it. And I always have German class to try German foods, if I end up getting Germany. My German teacher is amazing. She brings in all sorts of food. Haha.

Now! Time for my school schedule for the next semester, just in case anybody is wondering. Haha. Then my comments on things that have changed.

1 -- German (still)
2 -- Web Authoring
3 -- Modern World History (still)
4 -- Biology (still)
5 -- Pre-AP English (still)
6 -- Algebra II/Trigonometry (still)
7 -- Theater 2

Web Authoring -- While I'm looking forward to this class, I'm also not looking forward to it one single bit. I already know HTML, and some CSS. I don't know whether Mrs. Spotts will let me skip ahead or not... If not, I'll be stuck 'relearning' HTML. I'm not that patient. So, hopefully she'll let me skip ahead. I suppose I'll have to prove it to her, but that won't be a problem.

Theater 2 -- The epitome of fun classes. While Theater 1 is more about learning about Shakespeare and writing styles of specific playwrites, Theater 2 is actually learning how to do a lot of fun stuff... Like stage slapping someone, or other fun things like that. You also get to write your own play, so... Yeah. Fun. Mr. Rob is amazing, too. ^^

School starts back up again next Monday, and I feel sorry for the people in some places who had to go back today. Well, I'd be fine with it, because I like school (for the most part), but it seems like many people are upset about it starting today for them, so... Yeah.

Around a month and a half until the weekend orientation is supposed to be. I can't wait. Haha. However, that's still a month and a half away... First and foremost at the moment is actually doing my homework (haha) and getting into the 9th grade play. I'm not going to get to direct the 7th or 8th grade plays, because I forgot to turn my application in (bad Shelbi...), and that sort of stinks... But maybe I can offer to do tech for them? Or props... That would be fun. Though tech is always the funnest.
