calcium-ized

Yo! School’s back, and I’m in 9-Calcium — just as I had suspected.

Well, I kinda like my Grade 9 life at the moment, but I’m sure I won’t like it much months after. Hmm… I don’t feel like I’m in the 3rd year of my high school life now… Woot. Time flies by so fast. Haha.

I don’t like first days in school. Nakauumay na… sobra… All we students do is the same: introduce ourselves, introduce ourselves, introduce ourselves! I most especially don’t like the thinking parts of these first days, “Tell something that your classmates don’t know” is an example. At least they’re over. Almost.

The elementary people have infiltrated the high school building. :P But, don’t worry about them, cause they’re going back to their nook when repairs are done in about two months.

Hmm. I hate Mondays too. Flag ceremonies are going to be held an hour earlier than the start of the actual classes: 7 AM. Ehh… That’s too much! I swear I am still sleeping during that time. :P Also, the Ca people’s sked during Mondays (and Thursdays too) is boring. Wow. Filipino after Algebra. 3 hours straight of boredom. I wish I can survive. Wish me luck.

Oh. Filipino. We’re going to study Rizal’s life this quarter, then the first 34 chapter of Noli the next, then the remaining part of Noli Me Tangere during the third quarter, and El Filibusterismo during the last quarter. Wow.

Music is going to be okay. Western music is our course for the year.  Last year, we focused on Afro-Asian music. We did Philippine music during the first year. Sadly, there will be no Music 10, as Music 9 is the last year that we will be taught. In Grade 10, Music is just an elective.

Oh noes. Journ. Wow. I thought I escaped those balitaan sessions in Social Studies, but no. They had to be incorporated in Journalism. Well, kinda. We have current events quizzes in Journ. Every meeting, I think.

English 9. I think it’s going to be fun. I bought almost all of my HRR books already: Merchant of Venice, House of the Scorpion, and Lord of the Flies. The only book I lack is the one we need to have had by this quarter: The Crystal Cave. Jeez. That book is soooooo rare. I haven’t found a copy yet, in all of the times I have scavenged through book stores.

Chemistry. Well, I’m about to relearn the stuff that I studied during vacation. I hope that I understood well.

Oh. P.E. Eww. Basketball. No. I don’t do basketball, sorry.

All I can say that Grade 9 is going to be an interesting year. I think that I am actually looking forward to this year. Optimism. :P
