Happy Monday, World.

So, my week is off to a great start. Not. I've been looking at my school and biting my lip about it. I'm not sure if I'm excited or not to go. Here's a list I've put together.

Cons (notice they're before the pros, because I'm a pessimist):

• There are only fifteen kids in each class.
• I'm probably one of the only kids at the school to transfer from private school. I hope they don't see me as a heathen.
• No snacking (which is a pro, also), but I'll get hungry.
• Only two days a week.
• Starts a week after my siblings go to school, so I'm home alone. Yaaay.
• Uniforms! Yikes! Khaki pants and polo shirts...tucked in!

Pros:

• Michael Newman, Sara, Ryan, and Christina do not go there! I don't have to worry about running into them!
• No orchestra.
• Two days a week.
• No gum.
• No snacks.
• Christian.

I'm nervous. Like, really, really nervous. What if the kids don't like me? What if I sit next to the wrong person on the first day? What if I wear my uniform wrong (or as wrong as khaki can go)? What if I have the wrong school supplies? What if someone has a cold and is sniffling? What if my backpack is too dorky? What if I go to the wrong class?
These are the questions that haunt me. Did I mention I have to wear khaki??
But, what was cool this week is that my family can't afford to go to Bird Watched High* for three thousand a year, and my grandparents called on Saturday and told my mom they wanted to pay one thousand a semester for it! How cool is that? And my mom got a job offer! Thank you God.
On Saturday also, I forgot to mention, I went to Heavenfest with my youth group. Basically the largest Christian event in Colorado that you can attend. It had seventy bands, seven stages, and went twenty-four hours. Crazy, right? So, I got a chance to watch Disciple, Kutless, BarlowGirl, Thousand Foot Krutch, Hawk Nelson, and The Devil Wears Prada (which was my first screamo band experience. It was surprisingly awesome). It was really hot most of the day, and even though there was free water, you had to stand in line for about twenty minutes in order to refill your water bottle. On the plus side, though, you got to listen to music anywhere you were; even in line. I mean, what more could I possibly want? It was a really fantastic day, although we were all sweaty, dirty, and tired by the end.
Yesterday, a band called The Ineloquent came to play at my church and lead worship. They have some really cool music! We bought one of their CDs, which unfortunately didn't have the song that I liked that they played called "Gravity". It talks about how we can't see God, we can't hear God, but we know he's there; just like we can't see gravity, but can feel its pull; or how we can't see wind, but can see it shake trees. I thought it was a really cool way to disprove the accusation that God isn't there because he doesn't have a face. Anyway, feel free to check them out or maybe even invite them to play at your church! They're a small band looking for places to play, and they're on tour.
Well, tomorrow I have another doctor's appointment with a doctor who goes to my church that I've know all my life to see what he can do for my back. I also have to shower and eat something, because I'm starving. I'm always starving, no matter where I am or what I'm doing. I think there's something wrong with me, which wouldn't surprise me the least bit. I'm a rolling ball of issues.
