I now go to Merlo Station High School! I like it, its fun! On Mondays instead of giving you more work they give you a chance to get caught up! Today I was all caught up with my work around 10:00 but a kid in my Personal Development needed some notes for a test because he lost his. So I was done around 10:45.
On a basic Monday I basically do the same thing getting up at 5:30 catch the bus at 6:30 go on the bus route the I go to Five Oaks Middle School and switch buses, then that bus goes to Merlo Station. Then I go around and check in with all my teachers. Then when I'm done Mom comes to get me.
They prefer us to call them by their first names so I do. I have four classes this trimester, Personal Development with John (it is like homeroom.) Then I have a Reading/Writing on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have Writing with Karen. Then on Wednesdays I have Reading with Ann. Then I go back to John's room for Focus (study hall) and he has you do get a head start on homework. After Focus is lunch (Yummy!) Lunch is 30 minutes. Then I have Horticulture. Its cool I like it, we have been learning how to identify some plant and are going to have a test on it sometime. We also do little chores around the school. I have trimmed the rosemary bush, but I think I'm allergic to it so I'm not doing that anymore. But I have planted some plants, and watered them too. After that I have Health/P.E. The girls and guys are split up. (the teacher explained it was because students participate more in P.E. if they aren't worried that they will look like in front of the boys/girls) Us girls have P.E. first and its easy and fun, on Thursday we played horseshoes and I realized i am HORRIBLE at it! Then we go to Health we are getting ready for a test. so that is fun.... NOT.
Field Trip
On Friday we went on a field trip to Mirror Lake. It took about 2 hours to get to the trail. It was freezing cold and I was out of breath while going up not to mention I was wearing 2 tank-tops with a t-shirt over that and then 2 sweaters and I was STILL cold!! My legs stayed warm thanks to my jeans. The trail 2 miles it was very windy and up hill. We spent a few hours up there eating lunch and walking around to keep warm. One thing hat happened is that my hands were frozen or really cold that it was getting hard to move them when I popped some of my fingers it hurt ALOT. So after a few hours we headed back down. (just so you know it was 2 miles up to the lake and then if you wanted to you could walk another 2 miles up to a ridge) So we started heading down from the lake and kids started to get stung by bees. ( Later a teacher was saying that he went up to the ridge and it was snowing up there and he hears through the walky-talky that kids are getting stung by bees.) I got stung at least 2 times (on Sunday I noticed that is was all red around where I got stung so I think my sweater was irritating it.)
The End
