Here is my first day of school four weeks ago! :) I just felt like writing it down so I can look back on it two years later!
S1 Assembly[]
Missed the bus. Was driven over to my old school to pick up the next one.
Assembly. Thought I'd left that behind. Oh well. So the Deputy Headmistress walks in, tells us to stand up and be quiet. The actual Headmistress walks up to the front and stares at us wickedly for a while. Then she tells us to sit back down. We are then lectured about the "importance of school uniforms". Yeah, I get the black sweatshirts and trousers/skirt part, but the shoes and ties? We're not even allowed to wear black trainers if we don't want to have to go and get something signed by the SMT (I know what it means now; Senior Management Team) and the ties are apparently "to bring a splash of colour to our uniforms". What? Yeah right! You can't even see the ties unless you have them on so tightly that they are strangeling you!!
Then there was the usual. Boring monotone drawl, "We hope you enjoy your stay at BlahBlahBlah Academy. We wish you a lifetime of excitement on your road to success. Remember to be ambitious."
French[]
Forgetting about the corridor inside, I had to run all the way up the main corridor, out the door, across to one of the huts and up the millions of stairs just to get to my French classroom before the second bell. To make things worse, the F section is set up in a bizarre way. F8 is opposite F10 and F11 is down stairs. Fortunately, on Monday's I don't get an evil French teacher and most people got there after me.
Anyway, we did a mini test thing (I think) and then this boy called Ben asked what "manly words" were. Turns out he meant masculen (I have no clue what-so-ever how you spell that but you get the picture) words. Mrs Barclay then went into a long explanation on what masculin and feminin (yuck, not how you spell them, I know) were. Then I kinda lost the discussion 'cos she began to talk about roast pig, sheep chops, beefs running about in a field and a field of mouton. Yeah, did I tell you she was ever-so-slightly mental? That's what my dad and uncles told me. My mum's family loved her.
Yeah I know! It's so weird thinking that the teachers that are teaching me also taught my auntys, uncles mum and dad!
Maths[]
Phew! Only one period! But I'm quite envious of Jessica. She gets the bonkers math teacher that throws beach balls at you and we're stuck with scary Mr Shepherd. He's not mean or anything. He just was creepy, puffy eyes.
English[]
One period with Mrs Shearer. If it was two periods then I would have fallen asleep for sure. Poetry surely isn't my thing.
Lunch *phew!*[]
But not "phew". Did you know that lunch lines and plastic ustensils are my new worst enemies? See, because I had English last thing, I had to walk from the F side to the A side and by then I was about last in the line. The queue was actually out of the door. To make it worse, I was so hungry that it hurt and the people around me weren't really making it any better. Eating they're delicious foods, "mmm"ing and picking things with nice smells! How dare they? Anyway, on the up-side I managed to eat something before I fainted. Though just by an instant. Did you know its impossile to eat fish and mushy carrots with a plastic fork and spoon? (By the way, I don't think the carrots were actually supposed to be mushy.
Something[]
Yeah I did something next with Mr/Mrs Something. We did something. It was something.
Science[]
- Shudders* We got an evil science teacher!! These were Mrs Evil's actual words;
"If I don't think you know the answer then I'll ask you the question."
And by doing so, Mrs Wilkie made the girl beside me cry. Yes, she made a little first year girl, on her first day of a new big school, cry! Horrible, ain't she? My mum wanted me to get Miss Kaura, her faviourte teacher ever who is still teaching there.
Yeah, I caught the bus! And went home!!
