It is the most wonderful time of the year

No, not Christmas, but the pitter patter(or loud stomping at the stampede decibel)of little feet down the hallways on the way to their new round of classes. Yes, school has begun once again in the SVVSD.

The Freshman:
Night before-tears and fears.
Morning of-excitement and anxiety to the point of throwing up.
After school-smiles
She has the following classes:
Day one(red day)
Band-loves it
Algebra-loves it
Biology-loves it-just wait till you dissect a pig, you won't be feeling the love then
Honors English-teacher is a spaz(replacement for original teacher who took a year off to sell insurance-go figure)

Day 2(gold day)
Band
Health-longest class ever
French-thinks this will be hard, but payoff is a trip to France in year II
World Geography-teacher is outstanding, but she will have a student teacher who is like 40 years old.

The Senior:
Day one
Recreational Games-yes this really is a class
Suspense and Mystery-thinks he may like this
Food science-yes he is taking a cooking class
Living on your own-does not think he will like this-same teacher as food science. She is talking community service projects

Day two:
symphony orchestra-hates the music, he wanted string orchestra. tough.
Weight training-no real comment
Music theory-thinks it will be boring, but will help him pursue an education in music
Stage tech-thinks he will like this, but lots of after school requirements

He still resents me beefing up his schedule. too bad, last chance for learning something for free, unless you count the taxes I pay and all the fees for these various classes.
