First day of school and a chance to travel to the UK!posted Aug 31st 2006, 8:59PM

Well, to start off, today was my first day of school. I got to go in at 9:30 instead of the usual 7:30 because the freshmen had to go in early to learn the new building at the high scholl and a bunch of other crap. Anyway, I started the day with Advance Chemistry I. This class sounds pretty cool but looks like it is going to be hard. Next, I had study hall which was very boring because I had no homework yet. 3rd period was Math. This year, I am taking Advance Precalculus, which would definately be hard. Next I had college prep english. I can tell that this class is going to be quite boring. Anyway, I got to eat lunch next which was alright but the chairs at the cafeteria suck because they are attached to the tabble and spin and are hard to sit in. Whatever. Next, I had gym. We didn't do anything because it was the first day but this year, I get to choose form a bunch of things what I am going to do in this class which is awesome. Following gym was college prep US history. I think that this is going to be better than last year because I know more abou tmy history than the rest of the world, plus my country is young so there is less history. Last class I had was Advance Placement Computer Sciences. In this class, I am going to year how to use java script which is going to rock. This was really the only class that I got homework in.
Anyway, on to the part that most of you decided to read this for. When I got home, my dad showed me this letter in the mail that said that I have a chance to goto the United Kindom and Ireland next summer. I think that would be totally awesome. I have never left the counrty before so this would a lot of fun. This is what the letter says:
