Ascend...

School has offically started. I am now a senior in high school. Yes!
I'm taking 4 classes this year at the school. The rest homeschooled. My classes seem wonderful this year. Then again, we haven't really done anything yet. Mass Communication was nothing but defining terms for a quiz next week. English was learning our new teacher's "rules of respect" and discussing the patriot act. And creative writing was learning Mrs. Olsen's vision for her classroom. So far so good.
I tried out for the choir today. And, dispite my hideous audition, I am the newest 2nd. saprano for the concert choir. yay. I have gobs of friends in that class, which really excites me. And once I get my schedule down and really enter into the swing of things, I think I shall have a wonderful year.
And with the beginning of the school year comes... SEE YOU AT THE POLE! A wonderful prayer time for our beloved school and our peers. My youth pastor asked me to represent my youth group for SYATP this year. But, all that really means is I get to plan and recieve a free T-shirt. Even so, I'm terribly excited. I have the sense that God is going to do something really big in our school this year...and I want to be a part of it. Too bad nobody seems to share my vision. Everyone is depressed at can't wait for the year to end, but I think God has something wonderful in mind. The best is yet to come.
