Well, since I wrote my last blog, things have all sort of calmed down! :)
I've decided to retake grade 11. And not only am I retaking it, but I am [B]finally[/B] switching schools! The school I currently go to makes me really unhappy: it's mostly rich kids, so everyone is very materialistic. Being a poor kid at a materialistic school is not easy. Not to mention, the cliques/social circles are very black and white. There's the [rich] drama kids, the rich farmers/jocks/popular girls, and the people who do drugs, go to 'special classes', are all sort of strange. I fit in nowhere!
So the new school I am going to will be AWESOME. I guess it has a reputation for being a haven for druggies, and whatnot. This kid I talked to on MSN, who goes to the big school in town, said that I would probably be stabbed there [due to being a homo], and the people who go there are all really creepy. At first I was kind of thinking that I didn't want to go there anymore, but I remembered how much of a snob he was. >.>
So in the school I want to go:[*] it has free breakfast & lunch[*] some kids live on their own, so it's definitely not going to be a materialistic place[*] you can download music[*] you don't have to show up every day, but you have to get your work done[*] there aren't cliques - there are definitely people who hang out with each other more, but certain cliques don't ignore certain people/cliques[*] smaller class sizes - similar to my old school[*] lots of councillors[*] you can play pool, foosball, watch TV, and sit on couches at lunchtime[*] the teachers are really approachable
The school sounds really cool to me. Most schools don't have these sort of things on hand, and since I was sick most of this year, if I get sick again, I can actually handle it!
There a few other schools in town I could go to. One has extremely small classes - very hit and miss, clique-wise. You're either popular or you are a complete loser, which is what my elementary school was like.
One is [B]very [/B]big. It has a lot of cliques, and a lot of bullying. It would be very hard for someone like me to survive there.
Other than school, I've also hit a break in town! Someone close to my age is finally moving in! I talked to about 4 people driving by the other day, and they said they were moving in! I'm not completely sure if all of them are, but the ones I am sure are, are around 21. There were a couple teenagers in the back too, so I hope they move in as well! :D
Maybe I won't be on the computer 23/7 anymore. >.>
My only problem as of now is work! I always have one job I can go to. But, the work is boring, and there is always [B]a lot [/B]of office politics. I suppose I can apply to work at Zellers...you get accepted easily, and the work is not that hard. I sort of want to work at Booster Juice, though. But, it's very hard to get accepted, and I doubt I would meet the look requirements either, lmao....
