Change of Plans

So they changed the sophomore schedule pick up to Wednesday- major bummer.

I'll check back in and post my schedule hopefully sometime that day.

School forms have come (via mail)!!

Greetings,

So we all know the boring forms our parents fill out year after year; emergency card, waiver for media/electronics/sex ed, etc. Then there is the bell schedule, which never changes, and the school year bulletin; which includes the date for schedule pick up- a week from tomorrow. Which works out great seeing as I will be at the school from about 9:30 AM- 5:30 PM anyway (for a mini-camp). So I'll just run by the commons during lunch break and snag my schedule for semester 1 of my sophomore year! I'll post my schedule when I get home that very day.

Much love.

School Supplies

Everyone needs a good school supplies list to start the year off well.

So, after some research I have composed a list of items that will help with organization and overall success.

• mechanical pencils and extra lead
• No. 2 pencils
• pens (blue or black ink)
• highlighters
• at least one sharpie
• colored pencils
• big eraser
• about six 3-ring binders; one for each class
• dividers
• folders (same rule as binders)
• planner (if your school doesn't provide one)
• single subject spiral notebooks (perforated, college ruled- same rule as binders and folders)
• loose leaf paper
• construction paper
• printing paper
• 3x5 index cards
• Post-It notes
• Post-it flags
• a few bookmarks
• paper clips
• flashdrive
• calculator
• glue sticks
• public library card
• stapler
• 3-hole puncher
• ruler with US and metric measurements
• aluminum or stainless steel water bottle
• sturdy backpack

It is also helpful keep an inventory of these supplies throughout the year so you never have to do last minute shopping for a project.

Sophomore Year

Welcome.

My name is Gina and this fall I will start the tenth grade, my sophomore year of high school.

Here's a little bit about me:

I am a member of my school's marching band, this is my 3rd season- I was a prefresh allowing me to be a member in middle school.

I do not currently play any sports, but have many friends that do; and who knows- maybe I'll wind up joining a team.

I am just an average student, not crazy popular and not a loner.

I have 6 siblings; 5 brothers and 1 sister.

My parents are divorced.

My dad has diabetes and is bipolar.

My mom is an entrance attendant at the local hospital.

I babysit frequently.

I am a member of the Royal Oak Vineyard church and head staff of the nursery.

I have my learner's permit.

Throughout this coming school year, I will post entries in this blog about life as a sophomore at a public school.

The point of this is to give readers something to relate to, maybe some advice, and an inside look of a teenager's life.

Enjoy.
