time for my monthly check in... sorry, i've been busy.. sorta. i started school again... this time im takin 4 classes... and all but one look promising. fisrt off there is art, this class is pretty serious.. for an art class... altho it doesnt hold a candle to Mr. Crukshank's (of however you spell his name) and his art write-up madness. other than the $100+ list of suplies that i HAVE to get, it looks to be a relatively fun class. the teacher is ok.. i guess she claims she is from out of state.. but she spent alota time in SF, i could tell. Next up is American History, the class its self is hard to judge (as are all my classes at this point.... save for maybe math) since weve done almost no work, we did however see a video (which was kinda disturbing) and of course i read the silabys (or however its spelled). the teacher says shes from the south, but she has no sign of an accent (at least a southern one) but she does remind me of melanie grifith (if youve ever seen a movie called "working girl" you know this is not a compliment) as she has sorta of a breathy whiney like voice that could make it difficult to endure lechtures. (not to mention the fact that i chose a seat next to a window.. wich is nice cuz since im on the second floor ive got a pretty nice view of the parking lot, some fields and sonoma mountain..... and yes the fields are grazing areas for cows... yes i can see cows grazing from both math and history... which i realized is sorta weird... i dunno i got nuthin. as for math, the teacher is pretty hard nosed... except he definetely has some redeaming qualities.. like how he doesnt grade homework... very good. and how he alows notes while taking tests.. also very good. and that he gives 2 tests at a time... one to take home for you to do at your leisure (kinda like hw... but still its 1/2 a test worth 1/2 the grade) and another to do the following class and to count for the rest of the test grade. i supose thats both good and bad... but i think its more good. unfortunately he also has a tendancy to randomly ask for volunteers to go up to the board and supply wrong answers for him to operate on, and while talking he sometimes sounds like hes pissed.. .but really he isnt, itll take a while to get used to (i guess he is very emotional about math). lastly i have a Photoshop class to be taken online. people have asked me how that works.. and to be honest i'd surer like t know to, cuz i dont know what the hell im supposed to do. i hope sumthin comes up. anyways, that covers my school life.

with the arival of the new semester i have classes that no longer alow for my mom to drop me off during her lunch break... wich is good cuz now i HAVE to drive myself. on the downside my dad refused to give up the car for the van, thus leaving me to fend for myself with a bronco that has a blown rear differential (containing me within the city limits of my fair town) that i cant really drive cuz its a stick, so i had a one day crash course (sorry for the bad pun) in driving... a stick. i eventually got the jist of it, but ill be damned when i leave a stop sign and the damn truck is in second or third gear... stupid truck! o well, after 4 days of stagering to and from school my skills are improving, but i still suck at it. speaking of driving, i wanna go to the city and visit my peeps.. if anyone knows how to drive from petaluma to sausalito without using a freeway im all ears. any ways, we'll see what happenes in the next couple of days, if anything interesting occurs, ill let you know, if not, ill tell you anyway :-)
