When I went from being home schooled to going to the private Christian school, I made a pros/cons list about them. Perhaps I should do the same here? I think I'll put it in a post right after this one, that way this one doesn't get completely swamped, because there's a bunch of stuff I would like to cover here.
If I had continued attending IBS, I would have to take Algebra 2...because for some reason, my Freshman year, I was forced to take Consumer Math, yet it was counted as an elective, although I had no choice in taking it, therefore, it was not recognized by IBS as a math credit. Here at this public school, they recognized it for what it was: a math credit. Therefore, I do not have to sit in Algebra 2 every day this year. Which really leads to a much less stressful school year!
I am also one of the lead roles in my school musical, which is called the 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. There are some parts of it I don't care for, some parts that are going to be changed, and some parts (many parts) that are funny. My name is Olive and I am very shy and my only friend is a dictionary. One song that I sing for the Musical. Please feel free to come watch! It's the 20th and 21st of November. If you need directions or anything, contact me! And just a heads up, any cussing in the songs I post on facebook or on my blog, will not be in our production. The cussing is in the original/"professional" version and will not be used in the highschool reproduction that we are doing of it.
I may not have a ton of friends at this new school, but thus far, my experiences at this school can be summed up in these two pictures that my stepdad posted on facebook:
I had a pros/cons list written out, but then I copied something else and completely lost it, so I'll have to rewrite it later on.
I also had found out that a teacher (whom I admired) told the principal, in front of my stepdad, that I would be back after three weeks at this public school. This is the beginning of the fourth week and there is no way I am going back. I was also told by a fellow student, when I visited before my school had started, that I would hate public school. I love it. People don't know me as well as they think they do. And I hate that they think they do. But too bad! :D
