New Experience = More getting used to than i expected

High school is really different place than from where I’m used to. I think that for practically all of my first day I was in shock from all the changes. The first thing that fully put me in a daze was all the people. When they told us that there were 2,000 kids here, they weren’t lying. Ever since that part of the day, I felt like I was in a dream. I seemed to be floating, not walking, and when someone would bump into me I would go back into reality for a second. During the few brief moments of reality I had, I felt like I wanted to cry, go home, and never come back to this strange place we call a school.

Well, since then, I’ve gotten more used to the idea of high school not being what I had expected before it started. It’s sort of embarrassing to look back on that day now and how I told everyone who asked how the first day of high school was I don’t know. Now when someone asks me how it is I say its okay, it’s really different. People tell me that I’ll get used to it. I sure hope I will.

Since up until now, everything has been negative, I would like to say something positive. I like that you can wear any clothes you want, no uniforms. I also like that all the teachers are nice and willing to help if I need it.

Okay, now back to the negative. I don’t like getting up at 6:00 every morning. I used to get up about 40 minutes later than that last year. I also don’t like that my classes are far apart from each other.

To put my experience into a phrase: so far, so good.
