The End and The Beginning

The summer is over. On the last day, my dad took me to the movies to see the Dark Knight. I never get any time alone with my dad anymore, so that was fun. AND I got to go out somewhere WITHOUT my little brother; that was even more fun. It was really good because we never go to the theatre anymore, they are far from where we live and they are very expensive. Usually we rent videos because it's easier to handle my little brother in the house. The movie was really good, one of the greatest of all time. I don't have any trouble staying still like I used to, as long as I'm entertained. If I'm not occupied while I'm sitting down, I'll get back up and pace around and be annoying. For those three hours it was really peaceful. I like having everything peaceful. I often feel cooped up in our little house, even though I know I should get out more, I don't feel like going outside. And I hate car rides.

Today was the first day of school. Some special arrangements were made so that I could have more years at school and less classes during each semester. Now I don't have so much work to do, my mom said I used to put in sixty hours a week. It felt like labor camp. I now have German class, which makes me very happy. I'm really excited about that. I also have the second level of Spanish, an Algebra math class, college prep composition, and a Career class. I'm dreading coming across something really hard, because I know it will eventually happen, but at least I will have more free time this year. The schedule seems very liberal. The best part is that I will have more time for myself, so I can do my own drawing, video gaming, internet surfing etc.

I have a resource teacher this year to help me, and I need all the help I can get. I'm not quite sure how it works. I never thought of asking for help before, whenever I want something done, it never occurs to me to do anything but do it myself. I feel a bit optimistic this year. The other years, I dreaded it. I feel like it will go fine. My mom is looking for a part time on site program for me, and it sounds interesting. I don't know if it will happen this year though. Cyber school is great. Home schooling is good, but it's frowned upon by a lot of people. Cyber school is frowned upon by a lot of the same people too. But if anybody is lucky enough to be cyber schooled, they should keep it. Traditional schools, some are ok, but the others: disaster awaits.
