Thoughts on Labor Day

My thoughts on Labor Day are... mixed. Don't get me wrong. I like to have an extra day off during the weekend, but it just seems like something is missing during Labor Day. Not to mention the it passes by EXTREMELY fast for me. Honestly, I don't like national holidays that much. Not that I'm against my country (if anything, it's the opposite), but I like holidays that allow me to be free, and to have all of the stores and restaurants closed makes it just a complete bummer. Labor Day is no exception. But, since this one is about giving all of the workers in the world an extra day off for all of their hard work, I guess I have to let that slide. So, in my opinion, Labor Day is a good holiday, and it's a great way to show appreciation to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country, and I'm thankful for that.

First Day of School

 It was the second Thursday of August and I was at Christ Episcopal Church with several other people. There, I would see which classmates would stay, return, leave and be introduced to school. We did usual church stuff and rode the bus to school after that. When we made it to CES, we got to find out our post-lunch classes. Mine were Speech II (Dr. Fox) and Studio Art (Mrs. Sparkman-Boyd). The next day, we found out about our pre-lunch classes, mine being Chemistry (Mr. Soto), Geometry (Ms. Burkenstock), English II (Mr. McElveen), American History (Mr. Henson) and PE II (Mrs. Dessaur). I was worried about some classes that I haven't heard of, but they weren't bad at all when I went to them for the first time. And they are still great classes. Last year was sort of mediocre. There were good classes, some even great, but they were all usually in separate buildings, so the traveling from one class to another was quite repetitive. This year, it's mostly at the high school building, and I was fine with that. I had little to no idea on what to expect this year, but I guess it met what little expectations I might have had. Overall, this year looks like it's going to be a good year!
