Headaches, and stomach aches...

As you all know, school officially restarted on September the 2nd, 2008, and by all means, I was content before this unfortunate date arrived... Anyway, let me explain the past few days to you, shall I?

On the first day of school, I woke up at 6:50 AM, to take a shower, soon my brother and father followed, (my mother had already left for work). After getting ready I ate 2 waffles with jam, and drank 1/2 a glass of orange juice, and ran upstairs to get my hair done. After that I returned downstairs and packed my bag, and soon, after a few more tedious events, it was time to got to school, although I was having my dad drop me off instead of riding the bus, it seemed efficient. Anyway, at school I had to wait a long time before I saw anyone I knew, but eventually Jessica S. came into view, and we started looking for our classes together. After a while of searching we finally found Jessica E. and Aisha and our class list. Both the Jessicas and I were in the same class, albeit Aisha, Harleen, and Sonia were not, we moped for a while but eventually it was time to go in. Before Jessica E. came to meet up with Jessica S. and I, we met our teacher, Miss Dias, who was very nice, but after an hour of class, the incident occured.

It was while Miss Dias was explaining the school protocol from the agenda, when Ms Jarvis, the band teacher came in to see how many students in our class were not in band, because coincidentally, once again I was placed in a band class, although I never joined. When she saw there were only 3 people, she said she would see what was to be done with us. I expected an alternate class like last year, but how was I to guess I was to transfer classes, to Ms Rashid's class in specific. Now, Ms Rashid was not bad, I liked her, she was very nice, only I did not know anyone in her class, except Natasha and Dhruvi, and ironically, guess who I had to sit beside, Dhruvi! For all of you who do not know, I do not prefer to sit with Dhruvi when I have the choice, because apparently she does not listen to music because she does not like it, and without offense, she is a little weird...

Anyway, the morning went by very slowly, and miserably, but eventually it was time for lunch, and guess who I was more or less stuck sitting beside, you guessed it, Dhruvi! Anyway, she did try making small talk with me, but I was too depressed to speak, in fact, I am sure Ms Rashid's first impression of me was that I was a very quiet and shy girl, when really I am loud and out-going, most of the time... Anyway, during recess I saw Jessica and Aisha, and Harleen, and Sonia, and I told them about my horrible day, especially the part when I met the teacher who would be teaching me everything, Mr Barrett, he claims the most important part of school is "Work, work, work, work!" Also, at recess, we met with Mr Borges and told him about my problem, and he said he would try talking to the office, (not the building, but the faculty). With great gratitude to Mr Borges he found a solution to my problem, I could join band if I wanted to, and I really did, since grade 6 actually, but controversy took up 1 year, and apprehensivesness the second, and that is what led Ms Jarvis to the opinion of thinking I was joining band only for my friends, an although I did say it was part of the reason, it was not all of it. The truth was/is, I have a passion for music, I have always loved playing the piano, (remember my song, The Forbidden Fruit?) and have adored playing the recorder all the 2 years we did, and for me to be considered a person who was to make what might have possibly been the biggest transition in her life to pursue a passion, be considered a shallow person, that was just insulting, but skipping ahead, eventually I did make it, and I am now in band, in Ms Dias's class, and once again with help from Mr Borges.

Anyway, you are probably wondering how my title correlates to my entry, well here is the reason, for every time this week I had to speak with Ms Jarvis I have had a stomach/headache of anxiety, mainly because I am scared she will hold a grudge on me, but on Friday when we had music, she did not say anything, but I would say it is still too early to make assumptions. Anyway, today is the first day of the first weekend, of the first week of school. I have no plans, but I am sure I heard my dad mention some sort of dinner at his friend's house, and it would be maditory for my brother and I to attend, although I don't see what role we play, they have no kids...

Anyway, I think that is all for now, and I am ever so sorry for not writing in my blog for such a long time, truly I am, and I will try to find more time for it from now on.
