Brettia

Now there’s a title! “Not Happy”: one of my best ever! All right, it sucks, but at least it gets the point across. I’m currently in the worst mood that I have been in since before starting school. I got a random schedule shoved at me by some girl in Biology, supposedly from the office, which said that my third and fourth periods were switched around and the change takes effect tomorrow. Thanks for giving me so much time to adjust. Now I have to rearrange my binder. But that’s not really why I care. My friend Jim, who is the only person I know who has any of the same classes as I do, is in my current third period, which, if switched, I will no longer be in. So I’m only in one of Jim’s classes now. Not only that, but I actually know and like some of the people in my fourth hour, geometry, and now I’ve lost that block too. I wouldn’t have minded switching other periods, but these were my favorites out of all so far. I also liked Geometry because the teacher and students reminded me of what it was like in math last year, and I got that wonderful feeling of the good old days, when I was carefree and happy. But alas, my cheerful existence came to an abrupt end August 13th. And now the memories are all that is left of that time.

And this is only the tip of the iceberg: my biggest problem right now is that just about everyone in my biology class thinks my friend Kyle and I are Jedi, all because of some sarcastic comment I made. Kyle isn’t helping - I think he kind of likes the attention. The Jedi thing has spread to everyone except the teacher; we did a lab today and the two girls in Kyle and I’s group protested having to work with us because of our “Jedi powers.” I don’t get it. The whole thing is so dumb it would be funny were it not my friend and I who are getting shunned and made fun of. Eventually they’ll go too far and I’ll yell at them (or not), but until then I must endure the pain. And to think it was all started by some “Ashton” kid who I don’t even know and who also looks like a sixth grader, along with most of the other kids in the class. Combined with Miss Drechsler, who is the identical not-twin sister of a teacher at my middle school, I actually feel like I’m in eighth grade again. Hopefully the Jedi name will wear off; I really don’t want to end up being ridiculed like the “Star Wars Kid” whose humiliating video entertained the Internet community with its patheticness back in May.

In other news (I don’t know why I put it that way, it just sounds best), I have a ton of homework which I am currently not doing. Also, one of the few highlights of the day, I changed bus routes so I don’t have to be the third person in the seat every morning or the last stop in the evening. I just have to walk a bit farther.

The last item for today, Brettia has recovered from a near-death state to about 80% of its former self, with everyone coming back on except one major player who is desperately needed. Otherwise, things are going fine there. I’ve been trying to post, but the recent uptick in homework load has kept me from being able to do all I want to. I have to “kidsit” my friend Coleman from Friday to Saturday while his dad is out of town, so there won’t be much in the way of posting on Brettia or Organon for a while.

*I have virtually no money in my computer fund right now. It will be tracked as the amount grows (hopefully) in the side column.
