Yes, that is an exclamation mark.

So for school this year, which just started for me on Tuesday actually (I thought it was Monday, but that turned out to be for 9th graders and some Juniors there helping them out), I have seven classes;

- English II Honors

- Geometry (I should've been in Algebra II, but I'm not very good at math << >>)

- U.S History (First half this semester -- would have gone for AP Human Geography, but the workload from that class would have been too much with everything else this year).

- Newspaper

- Chemistry (I hate the notebook set-up thing... honestly, I'd prefer keeping handouts/fliers in a folder and not scrunched up in a book of notes)

- Drawing and Painting (The teacher is amazing, so much fun. However, I'm a bit depressed that Creative Writing filled out so fast )

- French III (I never liked foreign language class...)

Also, Wednesdays/Thursdays are "block" schedule, meaning, that we either have even or odd numbered classes on those days and each class is roughly one hour and a half in length. On Thursday, we don't need to get to school until 8:35 AM -- meaning, I can sleep in until like, 7:00 AM (I have to be there at 7:30 because my mother can't be late for work, so yeah).

Most of the work this week is; sign papers, organize notebooks, get supplies. In Geometry, we have an Algebra Pre-Test thing, but I find the Algebra to be easier this year than last year for me (It's the same thing, my mind is just clicking with it faster --- again, I'm terrible at mathematics).

I've also noticed something odd; I go to bed on time and I wake up in the morning all tired and lazy feeling. I go to bed an hour or two later, and I'm awake for -practically- the whole day. (I always get tired around 2:00 PM).
