Moms With Cake are the Best Types of Moms (week 2)

     Hey there. 
  So this was originally going to simply be a first day of high school post, however my first day was awful, so I figured I'd supply you guys with an overview and afterthought of the week (just so that it wouldn't be depressing :))

         A little background information before I begin: I went to the same school from kindergarten to eighth grade, with mostly the same people, and the same group of teachers. My high school has 1,500 kids in it, and Ash isn't one of them (insert my saddest face here). That already sets me up for the unavoidable fate of, "I don't know anyone, and everyone already has friends." Although it couldn't be that bad, right? Wrong. 

          On my first day I had to get my schedule changed twice, missed two classes, and basically stressed out more than I needed to. I sat with some girls I didn't really know, and I already had loads of homework by the end of the day. I'm going to be honest here, I got really upset and became so overwhelmed that I didn't want to go back. The positive note is that my mom is amazing and got me bundt cake, almost as if she knew I would need it...

          After cake and a few tears, I did homework, and told myself to cheer up. So much easier said than done.

          However things got much better after that. On day two, I finally found a girl I had been friends with in elementary, and she was with one of Ash's friends, who happens to be incredibly nice. We sat together, and I think we're kind of a little group now. It's a lot nicer than sitting alone.

            I've also made a couple friends in other classes, and I've managed to memorize my schedule and locker combos. (Don't laugh, it wasn't easy) I'm beginning to get the hang of things. My only problem is my bio teacher, but please don't tell her I said that. :)

          Overall, I learned a really valuable lesson. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not trying to sound like your parents, but when something doesn't go the way you think it will, you can't just give up. You have to keep trying, because things will get better. If you work towards something, you'll achieve it. 
If not, buy yourself some cake. It makes everything better.

          Thanks for reading, and I'll see you guys on Monday with a tip! I promise that these posts will get longer, I've just run out of time and I'm too exhausted to write more. Oopsies.
