OMG.
So yesterday I was running errands with my mom and we ran into a girl I went to dance school with a few years ago. SHE’S GOING TO RIDGEWOOD ACADEMY TOO!!!!!!!
So that means I won’t be alone on my first day!
This is good, because I’ve realized just how apprehensive (this is my word for the day, did I use it okay?) I’ve been starting to feel about starting at a new school. I’d been at my elementary school since I started kindergarten a million years ago!
What’s it going to feel like meeting all new people? Are they going to like me? Are they going to hate me? All my friends at my old school know everything about me – that I’m really great at reading, that I won our first spelling bee and that I am super afraid of spiders. The teachers called me “Shane” – my last name – and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM taught one of my brothers. I hated that, but what’s it going to be like having a teacher who DOESN’T know an “older Shane?”
Am I going to love my teachers? Am I going to hate my classes? Are my classes going to be too hard? Or maybe, even worse, TOO EASY?????
I can’t wait! I can’t wait! I CAN’T WAIT!!!!!!
These next five days are going to be the longest of my life!!!!!!!
