First Day of School...

Today, September 6th 2011, marks the first day of ME being a SENIOR! Scary, right??

I woke up at 6:10am. My alarm was set for 5:45, but it didn't go off even though I tested it last night. Turns out, I had it set as "follow profile" which means if my phone's on silent, so is my alarm. I changed it, don't worry.
I took a shower, got all ready for the first day of school, and went downstairs to get my coffee. I had set the coffee maker to go off at 6:10... it wasn't ready. Of course. I still can't figure that thing out.
Can you imagine my mood after waking up late, finding out my coffee wasn't made, and being cold? (Not pretty, in case you don't know me very well.) I was wearing jeans (still slightly damp- didn't have time to dry off from being washed last night), purple v-neck shirt, black cardigan, and black ballet slippers.  Mascara and foundation, silver dangly earrings, and hair down.

We left the house tired, cold, and coffee-less at 6:38am. The bus was supposed to come at 6:44am. I spent the next 35 minutes whining about the cold, slapping mosquitoes, enjoying my nice icy feet with freezing water squishing between my toes, and complaining about how late the dumb bus was. After a few minutes my mommy came out with coffee for us (which helped brighten things up a bit). At 7:15am the bus came around the corner one mile up the road. School starts at 7:30. Yeah.

To make a long story short, I got to school 15 horrible minutes late, found another bus full of late kids, walked to my school (they decided we should be dropped off at the middle school instead of the high school, because of the construction (which will continue until an estimated December 2012)), found my drivers ed teacher and Ashley, skipped signing in, and walked towards the cheese-wedge car.
I got to drive first (only because I begged). I got in, drove through town and over side-roads to the Lyons (eeew) high school. I got out, the next girl got in, and we drive (shakily) back to the school. I have been driving since July 29th 2010. This girl has been driving a couple months, only in her little neighborhood of car-less streets and yield signs. 'Nuff said. It was scary. We were forced to have to think about whether we would have to get out and pick up cones around a truck on the side of the road if we happened to "bumpbumpbump" over them.
We got back alive (no, I'm sorry. she wasn't that bad. The teacher only had to grab the steering wheel to help her get around a corner once), went to study hall, choir (~89 people- eek!), advanced child psych, lunch (in the choir room), and finally physics.

"You're gonna introduce yourselves. Along with a super power you've always wished you had!"
Easy! Invisibility. So I could go anywhere and do anything.
As we were listening to a story about why we really need the lab safety contracts, the fire alarm went off. "beep!" then stopped. Then went off "beep!" then stopped. Then went off with no stopping. We evacuated to the parking lot (next to our new and improved tennis courts- we're so cool, we have more courts than people on the team! We sure know how to use our money!) and stood there, enjoying the cool air and the loud people. After a little over an hour, the teachers grouped together, decided not to tell us what was happening, and moved us to the middle school auditorium. For over an hour. Yay.
Apparently, the construction guys blew something or something... Whatever. They almost killed us all... almost. They almost killed my phone. I put it in my bag for drivers ed, and never took it out. Poor thing!
I missed the rest of physics, English, and PIG.

That was my big first day of school, how was yours? :)
