The First Days Pt. 2

This was my second first day of school. So I had three classes today.
English, French and Math.

Pro: I saw more friends!

Con: I still didn't see everyone. Our schedules conflict.

Pro: My English teacher seems really cool and our theme is pop culture and art!

Con: I had to state interesting facts about myself.

Pro: I got out of class 20 minutes early.

Con: (This will be be a future problem). I only have ten minutes to get from opposite sides of campus. Ugh.

Pro: I made it to French early.

Con: I'm worried that will be one of the last times.

Pro: It seems like a good class.

Con: There's another Scott in there.

Pro: Break with friends and Panda Express!

Con: Too short a break!

Pro: Math, easy day.

Con: Boring and there's a quiz this Friday. (gulp).

Pro: I got out early today, 1:50.

Con: Umm I actually think that's a good thing haha.

First Days are always hard and exciting. I love and hate them. Growing up every time there was a first day I spent the night before tossing and turning with anticipation and excitement. Having more of a romanticism view on life I always imagined that something exciting and awesome happened the first days. Did it ever? Nope. But that doesn't mean I wasn't able to enjoy the small moments. The moments I treasure. Like these past two days did something life changing happen? Not at all. But I got to see people I hadn't seen all winter break. We shared laughs and moments and caught up on the 411s. The classes were a nice start. And those although not huge and life changing are still really good moments.

First Days are also those days where I always get looks when teachers call my name and a brown Mexican kid raises his hand and says, "here" to indicate that he is named Scott. I see people look and I can see their thoughts flash through their eyes, "his name is Scott?" Am I exaggerating? Maybe a little, but I know it does pass by some peoples' minds.

I don't like attention to be on me so that's usually why I hate when I have to introduce myself. I wish I was more social and open but I concentrate so hard on what I want to say and I always stumble and usually blush, well "blush" just means my ears turn red. My face can't really get red, haha.

Anyways, I know I still have plenty of first days ahead of me. And I look forward to them. And I don't look forward to them. All in one.

Ok not gonna lie, I've done that before and even plan to wear my UNR hoodie Friday.
