Oh no... registration.
I had registration for school yesterday.
It was rather boring, other than the fact that I went with my friends Eden and Jessica. I saw a bunch of people from my classes last year that I didn't get to see over the summer.. ahhh.. everyone's changed so much. I feel so short now compared to everyone else (I'm 5' 4''). Natasha is now fluent in French after her summer exchange to Switzerland, though I sort of feel bad now because I never got to meet her exchange partner, Thomas (who works in a circus!!!).
Registration itself was pointless, and involved a whole lot of waiting ( number calling and ipod-a-listening). My schedule itself seems pretty good... I have:
French
English
Science
Art
... in the first semester and:
Math
Gym
Music
Geography
in my second. It seems pretty balanced out, so I don't have any complaints. I have homeroom with at least one person I already know (Marcus), and English and Science with some of my closer friends.
And haha... I think I probably looked uber-stoned for my ID pic. I can't wait to see that one *cough*. I'm pretty glad that our first day of school is a half day (ahh.. next Tuesday), since that guarantees that I'll be able to watch the House MD premiere that night (which I'm so excited over).
Ohh... the school seemed to have messed up the bussing for my area (second year in a row supposedly), and I currently do not have a bus, which sucks because I live way too far to walk to school, and according to the transit website it'll take an hour to get there by public transit (and 26 mins of that hour is walking on foot). I'll most likely will have to go to a farther stop on somebody else's bus though.
After registration, Eden and Jess came over to my house and we made a really good pasta for lunch (well.. more like Eden made the food, I washed the cookware and found ingredients, and Jessica watched Arthur). Then I made them watch Garden State (which I absolutely adore), and made them fall in love with it (and the soundtrack which is inexpressibly amazing). Then we took a movie break, went on MSN, compared schedules with random people, went a webcamming, played with Eden's hair (bows are fun), then settled down with ice cream to watch Saving Private Ryan.
I've never actually seen the movie till yesterday, and I'm amazed by it now. We were supposed to watch it in class last year, but never had the chance. Tom Hanks was so believable in the role as the Captain, I think it was probably the best job he's ever done in a movie. The whole movie seems so epic, with so many parts, and though it felt sort of lengthy, I can't imagine it being any shorter.
I have a orthodontist appointment in half an hour. Hopefully, my braces can come off soon. :) And I must remember to make icons for this journal.
