Let's see here.

Um, Japanese seems like it will be fun and challenging. It seems that the book will last through Japanese III so I guess I won't have to get new textbooks for that... cool. I tried to get my sensei to call me Aki. She said no. I'm stuck with エリズベス。(Erizibesu, which is Elizabeth with Japanese pronunciation blah) But someone from class called me Aki after class so that was cool.

Math is going to be annoying but doable. College Algebra, y'know. The teacher says she can't require us to have graphing calculators but we'll do a lot with graphing stuff... I don't want a new calculator. Urg. I have graph paper. She'll have some graphing calculators so if I'm forced to borrow, I'm forced to borrow.

History will probably be relatively reasonable in easiness, but it's going to take a lot of time.

English Comp 2 will be easy. 8D

And Public Speaking, well, I dunno what to make of that yet.

I got my bus pass today and checked for a book I still need that the bookstore still doesn't have.

And I sat on a bench for hours reading history. There was an occasional breeze but I sweated and probably didn't smell so great.

I brought my own lunch.

My backpack was super heavy! I'm glad it has wheels. I felt kinda obnoxious dragging that thing around while people around me had like, one messenger bag or whatever but I have to have all my stuff with me all day on tuesdays and thursdays. Other people can leave stuff in their cars and change it out as needed, but sorry, I can't. I'm wondering if my backpack will even fit in the lockers at the testing center. I may just have to take all my tests on Mondays. Except for that one math one we'll have to take in the testing center...

I did discover that I don't need my laptop, so that's a few pounds of relief.

But I have to bring my math textbook, my japanese textbook and workbook, my history book so I can study during the middle of the day, and notebooks for all those classes for note-taking plus my English notebook and any printouts I have for that so I can brainstorm and stuff, and a notebook for public speech later on so that I can prepare speeches and stuff. Plus there's my phone and wallet and lunch and iPod... the iPod isn't strictly necessary but I have alarms and room numbers and schedule on there... Hehe.

Wednesdays I'll only have to bring math and history for before and after speech class. Mondays I won't bring anything extra since I can drive home right away and I may just take any tests beforehand by going early.

Anyway I'm still figuring things out. Goodnight.
