a new semester, a fresh start

I have noticed in this past week, that I don't dread going to school anymore. First semester, I did. I hated it to be honest...I didn't like my classes, or my teachers, and I found myself bored a lot of the time.

This semester has been so much better even in just the first (and most hectic) week of classes. I am taking Creative Writing, English, Algebra, and World History. I absolutely love my Creative Writing class. Writing is something I am passionate about (explains why I have a blog...) and I am having so much fun. I have never had any problem with English. I don't really like World History or Algebra....but this semester it is totally different.

I think the reason that it is different is because of the teachers I have. The teachers I have are passionate about what they do. Last semester, my teachers didn't seem to have a care in the world. And this semester I have great teachers. Even in my least favorite class, World History, I am learning something and having more fun than I ever have had in a history class.

The fact that the teachers are passionate about teaching means so much to me. They are excited about what they do....and don't just stand in front of you giving you tons of work that needs to be completed within a week, and you have no idea what you are doing because they haven't spent any time explaining anything to you. It isn't like that, and these teachers show that there is more to school than work.

I don't find myself falling asleep in class, or pulling out my cell phone to send a quick text anymore...which I did (a lot) last semester.

This week is going to be great. And my favorite aunt in the whole wide world is coming to town. So that will be tons of fun. Have a great week everyone.
