First Day Of School

Normally you'd see something with that heading in September. In terrible handwriting on the top of a first-grader's first homework assignment. Ahh, well, such is life...

As you may have surmised, today was my first day of attendance at my new school, Kungsholmens gymnasium. It was...umm...wildly exciting. Yeah.

Actually, it was surprisingly bland, for all the hype. I met some pretty cool kids, with whom I hung out (read as: ate lunch, played chess, went to class with), but nothing exciting really happened. Probalbly the most interesting, or at least, notable thing I did was to participate in an english class trying to read Shakespeare's Othello, when for most of the class, english was a second language. It's still an amazing play, but that's aside the point. Whatever the point is. Ho-hum...

Probalbly the most exciting thing that happened to me today happened out of school, about half an hour ago. That being that I finally got over my writer's block of the past week and a half or so. I wrote a poem inspired by a pile of orange peels sitting on the desk next to me. This may not seem like much, but I'm very proud of myself. You can see it on my Facebook notes page, those of you who have Facebook. The rest of you...feh. If you don't have Facebook, you probalbly haven't seen my earlier stuff, which is better, so if you ask, I'll send you some of that.
