Well I haven't been here in forever. With the recent closure of the MJ thread at H2F, and how this seems like a more laid back community, I might come here more often now. Plus, the amount of shit that goes on at school, it'll be nice to vent, or hear about your problems so I don't feel as bad. As well I wouldn't mind hearing good stories, posting them as well when I have them. So bitches, I'm back

So I was just wondering how everyone's first semester went by. I still have another couple of weeks, and exams are at the end of the month, and that's how we do it in Canada. But since most of you guys are onto semester 2, write up how semester 1 was. All the good and bad times, and everything. I just want to compare mine to yours. I just started high school. I'm in grade 9, and, the almost first half has been a wild ride for me, so whether you're in the same position, or laid back in grade 11, I want a story!

__________________________________________

So as for me, high school started of AMAZING! So many new things, that comparing it to middle school, is just a joke. First off, the freedom. Getting to go wherever at lunch, instead of being boxed into a lunchroom, and then forced to go outside, when it was like -10 outside. The different classes. I mean I've been pretty lucky with the people I've had in my middle school, but you never know when all your friends are in other classes. Plus it gets you to become better friends with a whole different bunch of people. Another good reason, is that a bunch of different middle schools came into one big school. So I was lucky. I knew everyone from my school, and people from another school too. So it would be cool talking to some chick, and then seeing someone from my school, and they'd be like, "OMG who was that?"

After a month, I hooked up with this girl. Couple days later we're dating, 2 weeks later, we're really close. So from October, to December, I had the best time of my life. I didn't realize it back then, but I look back at it now, and how happy I was, and I'd do anything to go back. But I know I should be looking at the future, but so anyways.

During the 3 months, all the different people from different schools, obviously ended up meeting, and now it's just one big happy family. Everyone knows everyone and no one is a stranger. It's even hard for me to say who's popular. Like there's is the large population of kids who hang out together, and I have no idea who they are, and don't really care about em, cause they mind their own business. I myself was never really popular, I just knew the popular kids. But now that so many people are friends, and since I'm friends with them, I guess I'm kinda in the group too.

So the 3 months were the same for me. I'd come to school, meet my girlfriend, say hi, hug, kiss, and talk with some friends. Bell rang, we'd walk up to the second floor, say goodbye, and I'd go to the third. After first period, since she had my French class next, I'd wait for her. Have like a minute to talk, and then I'd go downstairs to English. After English, I'd go upstairs, meet her, and we'd walk downstairs with some people, and chill. I'd either chill with just a couple of friends, or we'd all be together, and I'd be sitting with my girlfriend. Then math class we had together, and then I'd see her to her English class on the second floor, and myself go up to the third for Business. Then meet her after school, say goodbye, and repeat.

But then, December comes up, and everything starts going downhill. Which is understandable, because everything that goes up, must eventually come down, but you know you hate it when it does. It starts of right before December, when some people broke into our house. My 360, Wii, games, a bunch of electronics, all stolen. Luckily, the TV's and computers were still there, and nothing was broken, so it was obvious that some teenagers did it. Especially since no jewelry was stolen.

So, thinking, it's just a bump in the road, I keep living life. But of course, it only gets worse. Me and my girlfriend started drifting apart. During the break she went down to the states, and I just chilled with some friends, got high, and just kinda took it easy. It wasn't really fun, cause I just wanted to spend time with her again. But she comes back, and things get worse, we break up, and now I had school a couple days later.

So now, since I was so used to the same pattern everyday, it's hard to go back to a different one. And since everyone is friends with each other, it makes it even worse. My now ex, and me, pretty much avoided each other all day yesterday. And it's hard, when the same group of people you talk to, she does. But I'm really bad at hiding emotions. If I feel bad, I show it, and it's obvious. I can't lie to myself that I'm happy, and go around with a smile on my face. She on the other hand, somehow can. She talks, laughs, and has fun with friends. Me on the other hand, I really don't feel like starting conversation, and don't have the will to laugh, etc.

So today, I went through the whole day again, avoiding her. Same as she's avoiding me. And it's not that I wanted to, it's cause she looked like she didn't want me talking to her. So then math class, she walks by my desk and drops of a note. Tells me to be happy and whatnot. Business, goes by, my friend tells me that she told me that I give her dirty looks, or something. So I knew that I had to talk to her and try and make things a bit better. So I did, and we talked and it got a tiny bit better. But there's still a lot I have to tell her, and I asked, and she agreed to spend a bit of time tomorrow at lunch, just to talk, with no rush.

So that was my semester up till now. From the top, down to the bottom, and now trying to pick myself back up. My first part of high school was all based around my girlfriend, so now without her, it's really weird.

I know I ranted a bunch, but I seem to do it a lot. You don't have to respond to mine, but I wouldn't mind hearing your stories.

So how was your first bit of school?

I hope you patch things up with your girl, and getting your house broken into sucks dick.

My first semester was pretty awesome. The majority of my teachers were really nice, and I was working my ass off so I was rarely behind. I also have tons of friends everywhere I go. I would have to say that my PE teacher is the only thing from making my semester stellar. What a bitch. And they changed the school schedule so the final exams are AFTER the winter break for some reason which pissed me off a lot because before the break I was on top of my game and now I have to get my gears turning to remember everything that we did pretty much.

Good luck with your girl man.

We are on Tri-mesters so I have already have my exams and things are going good with my girl right now and I plan on gaining like 20lbs in muscle by May so it should be good.



Also this place is chill and laid back so you definitely should come here more often.

Yeah the exam thing is pretty fucked for you. We are gonna start reviewing for exams soon, to get our brains back on track. But I have a gift with school. It never was a problem for me to get good grades. From math, to gym, I'm always getting 80%+. Maybe not French, or at least not anymore. So school work is never really a problem for me. I leave shit to the last day, still finish it, hand it in, get perfect. Hope you do good on the exams though. When you say stellar, what's the definition behind it? My ex made that her "fake" last name, said it meant cool. I'm confused? What's your gym teacher doing?

Tri-mesters. LOL never heard of that before. Hope things work out with your girl, and the workout plan. I the new years revolution to work out again too. I've been doing it for about 2 weeks. My 6 pack is back, and better than ever, and pushups are easy as fuck again. I'm ready as fuck to kill gym next semester. And yeah, I think I'm gonna end up staying now. I mean Haloforum, but wait no more Halo. Or a school forum, I go to high school, we're all dealing with the same shit, I found my home

Well no, it's been a great start, and couple months. It's just now things suck ass. But I'm sure they'll get better. It's high school, I'm trying not to stress over it too much, but it's gonna take time. And I got a Touch too. I love it.

_____________________________________________

Anyways, yeah. I'm sticking. And yeah, girls. Love em, and hate em at the same time. (sigh*) I'm gonna talk to her, and tell her everything. I still want to know how you loose feelings in 1 week, when you've been going out for 3 months, and sacrifice so much for your boyfriend. There has to be something I don't understand. But hey, keep my head up, life goes on, it's high school behavior.

If you understood the past 3 references I made, yes, music is my life.

I was always under the impression that "stellar" was the descriptive form of the word "star". When I said stellar I meant like cool, awesome, star-like. but I could be wrong with my definition.

Oh, and you dont want to get me started about my gym teacher. the whole year shes been on my case, never off my back, always getting me in trouble for shit. But thats not even the worst part. A few weeks back I had a Geography AP test and a puny "Volleyball quiz" on the same day. So I'm like fuck gym, my Geography is way more important. So I studied for my Geo test and decided I would just get the answers for the PE quiz some other way. Yeah well I get to PE and we start taking it and I ask two of my friends all the answers to the quiz and I get them all. Cool. Then my teacher calls me and my two friends and tells us shes giving us zeroes because we all had the same wrong answer on one problem. GREAT. Thats the only quiz grade we get for the entire semester except for the final exam so I have like a 60 in PE now. Its a bit higher now, but now whenever shes being a bitch and we give her suggestions and tell her to stop being a bitch (we didnt really say that but) she just threatens to dock our grades again. So she like made us her bitches.

Shes a dirty bitch.

First off, welcome back to SHW, just leave H3F and chill here, it's way better. As for the whole girl friend thing, don't worry about that shit, your in high school, stay single, it's way more fun. I made the mistake of going out with some chick for almost 4 months my freshmen year and it was just a bunch of drama; I'm a Junior now, and I have way more fun being single, and I don't get caught up in the boyfriend girlfriend bull shit.

Yep, I see that. I think I'm gonna stick around. I mean I don't play Halo anymore, so most of H2F is pointless to me. Plus no more MJ thread. So just off topic, and regulars, and I can't really spend too much time there. But I go to high school, and what's this? A high school forum. I found my second home.

(I love the old school smilies, like we used to have on H2F, way back)

Okay, then I'm pretty sure you guys have the same definition, or at least close enough. And your gym teacher, sounds really does sound like a bitch. Do you have her all year, or just for half? I have gym next semester, but I'm pretty syked for it. I'm in great shape, and it's like an hour and fifteen minutes of fun (depending on sport/activity that is)

Yeah, like I said, I'm gonna stay here. I won't leave H2F, but I see myself being more interested here than there. As for the girlfriend thing, right now GF>single, if you find the right person. I mean, when you have a girlfriend, you can do "stuff" and it's normal. But in grade 9, most girls aren't really looking to get hit on, or get it on at parties or anything. I mean, half the girls, are just starting out with weed. Not to be cocky, but me and my friend pretty much run a lot of the drug dealings in our grade, and we've also gone a lot farther with girls, than a lot of people. But I agree, once I get into grade 11, 12, I'm gonna go wild with dem girls.

Anyways, if any of you care about what happened today with me and my ex. It turned out to be a great day actually.

I go through the first 2 periods, and they were pretty chill.

So then finally lunch time comes, and my ex was supposed to meet me upstairs by my locker, where her period 2 class is. She wasn't there, so right away, I'm like "what now?" So I put away my stuff, pop a pill, that my mom said calms down nerves, and is completely natural. I feel like a fucking sick addict, popping pills, but whatever.

I go downstairs and I see her, she smiles at me, and walks over. Says that they got out about 10 minutes earlier, and she didn't want to wait upstairs alone. So I'm like okay, we can talk right? She's like yep, and suggests to go outside. It was windy and cold, but I really didn't care, cause I just wanted to get through with everything.

So I talked for about 5 minutes straight. After I get through, she explained to me truthfully why we broke up, which turned out to be a far better, and understandable reason than the last fucked up thing she said to me, when we broke up. So after about a 10 minute talk, she's like yeah, well I promised that I'd eat lunch with some people, and I'm like yeah we should head in. So we get up, and smiles at me. I could easily feel the tension between us dropping, and that our talk helped us a lot. So I say, what are our chances of getting back together, after a break. She says she really doesn't know, and that it's too early to think about it.

We go inside, and she gives me this push, the kind of like teasing push, girls or guys do to fuck around with each other. Then later me and a couple of friends go to where everyone else is, and she sits beside me and smiles, and I felt a hella lot better, and was talking and laughing with people.

So I guess things are gonna be different, but not terrible. I left her a message online today, that when she said "maybe" if she was actually not sure, or just didn't want to hurt my feelings. She hasn't replied, but than again her name says she's sick and sleeping or whatever. So hopefully, that after a while, we might get back together. I'm not counting on it, but I'm hoping for it.

I mean, the main problems we had, that broke us up, could have easily been avoided. She should of just been honest with me, when something was up. So if I get the chance to flirt with her after a while, and connect again, I'll drop the bomb, and "wow" her hopefully. I already had the perfect Valentines gift planned, but I doubt we'd get back together by then.

But yeah.
