It's the Introvert Life

Don't freak guys, I'm still going to do those obsessive list thingys. It's just easier to space them out yah know? So anyway on to the topic at hand!

So lately I've been bored so I googled introvert. It's totally freaky. Like for one I've realized what a total introvert I am. Sure I don't come off like that at all on the web, but, like, that's because you can't see me. If you observed me for about an hour you would see how uncomfortable I am with being forced with people (Especially mum, she's a chatterbox). School is one of the most draining affairs that I'm required to do everyday. Especially lunch... I prefer to spend that time in the library instead so I can read or get stuff done. I'm also really reserved, unlikely to talk to anyone else unless I have to.

At my old school I got my first friend in a snap because we were rather forced together by fate. Lockers were by each others. Had most of our classes together. Our last names put us together in many classes (at least at the beginning, the teachers learned too quick...)

At this new school fate has decided to take a vacation off in some distant land... So for my first day I tried to do what I did at my old school. Make friends with the first person who's warm with you. Apparently that doesn't always work so hotly, because the girl wasn't really the type of person I should be friends with. So the week goes on...

Then with luck I notice that another girl who's in most of my classes (even sitting by me in a few) doesn't seem to be really outgoing. Well we clicked! She turned out to be a swell friend, and she was always willing to let me listen if I let her listen (that's right not talk.) Then after break my schedule changes and I only get to see her at recess, because everyone has that at the same time.

In this new schedule I'm kind of uncomfortable because the teachers are different with my new classmates (new to me.) In SS there are way to many group things, and everyone already has there own niche and I'm just screwing it up. In science it's ok, but that's because my teach does a lot of more independent stuff. Math was cool I like my teacher, but again the niches are made, luckily though, so far anyway this class is more of a do problems thing so that's good. Health was just awkward, but the tension broke up a bit when I said this guy's name was Robin instead of Robert, and everyone laughed... I'll admit that I did too.................. I've got more classes but these were really the stand out things of the day.

Oh wait, no! I forgot about our discussion in band. The directer didn't have us play anything, but instead talked about how this is the year of the rat and that this is going to be a bad year for him (he's apparently a horse.) This of course started one of his trademark way off topic 'Are you sure that you're supposed to be teaching band?' discussions. Class ended with him talking about how he wasn't sure he could rely on us tubas. Says we look shifty. Of course then he goes on to badmouth all the other instruments... as usual. I'm really going to miss him as director, he's very umm unique.

Yah so that's it for now.
