First Week of School

This is our first week of school and I'm exhausted! There's so much to do and so many things to remember. It seems that all we do is change classes, go to our lockers to get our books, then put them back and get other books. And the homework! Of course you already know about that.

I really like my teachers. I have Miss Parker for homeroom and math, Mr. Schlecht for Science and Mrs. Worth for language arts. Unfortunately though I only have my friend Rupert in one class and Willa and I aren't in any classes together. We all have the same lunch period though which is good.

Well, I have to get going. Mom has dad and me batting down the hatches for Hurricane Irene. I don't think the storm's going to hit us directly but we should get a lot of wind and rain. When you live on the marsh you have to watch out for flooding. Thank goodness our house is high off the ground so even if the yard floods the water shouldn't affect us. I'm not too worried as the house is over 100 years old and it's withstood a bunch of storms. But to quote mom, "better to be safe than sorry." Em
