But can I do anything about it? NO. I need to go to school whether I like it or not. Which kind of sucks, no offense.
And so there I was at school, greeting old friends who sound pretty much excited about speaking Spanish but complaining at the same time. The only Spanish word I knew, besides the numbers, is Exploradora. And it doesn't even count, since everyone who watched Dora the Explorer in their childhood knows that.
But what really pissed me off at the first day of school was the flag ceremony. We stood there in direct sunlight in summer EXERCISING. The people around me and I started grumbling and complaining about the heat. The exercise lasted for about 5 MINUTES and we were sweating like pigs. And then after that was the speeches. Yes, that's right with the S. And I was like....
I'm pretty impressed my schoolmates lasted that long (last year was full of fainting and drama).
And of course comes the hard part: introducing yourself. I kind of like introducing myself because I'm more of a self-centered person, but I was not talking about the "Class, please introduce yourself" kind. I was talking about HOW you introduce yourself and HOW you act at the first day of school. I really tried to shut up and stay quiet and serious but my gut kept telling me to make jokes since my classmates were so nervous and silent. You see, I kind of trusted my gut since it saved me a couple of times.
Personally, I really want to make my classmates laugh because it makes me happy. What is school for without having any fun, right? You could have just chose homeschooling. I just wanted them to feel comfortable and happy, and I feel like that's my job (or fate, to be dramatic). But I think I really made a bad impression about me being a noisy and troublesome kid. I just wish people would try to learn who I really am and why I do things before judging me. (I do admit, my voice is a bit loud. But how would they hear it if its not loud?)
Okay back to the subject... So the day was going fine and then this happened:
It was very hard to think of something COOL (I live a legacy of coolness. One lame move and you're out). And then I chose Phoenix as my name, since that is my CODE NAME and my gamer friends call me that. Another reason is that when I choose 'Maysa' I can't think of any cool adjective that starts with a letter M. I decided to go with 'playful' but then my other classmate chose that. Then the teacher said that we need to memorize the names of the ones before us. Everybody lost their minds. I scrunched up my mind for an adjective because I don't want to memorize all that names and I'm not good at memorizing.
I ended up with "Powerful Phoenix" because it is sort of true since I can SOMETIMES manipulate people to do what I want to do. And I'm really a tough player to beat in some games.
We had lots of fun after that since my classmates were starting to calm down and relax. The teachers were okay too, since we didn't get scolding for being noisy at the first day. Except for that silent boy who never EVER talks, everyone was cool. Even the new kids.
But at the end of the day.....
It was very stressing since we had to put margins on some notebooks, buy some new notebooks, buy a specific color of something, and bring something for activities. It was a good thing we had a diagnostic test the next day because we would have lost our minds over those stuff. But of course most of them doesn't care at all and they kept telling....
So I kind of figured out that they wouldn't even bother to do ANY requirements. That leaves me and a couple of concerned students.
I kind of expected that the first day of being a Junior would require too much maturity and discipline, like NO FUN AT ALL. But, like every first day of school............................

Well, every first day of school is extraordinary.
