Hello:

Gracias, Scott!  *The irony: I take French.*

> So tomorrow you start back to school, I *know* you're 
> excited.....

Watch me as I leap into the air with joy at the prospect of another 
year being dubbed "the brainy one", "the smart girl", and "the Misery 
Chick" (oh, how I would love to kill the person who wrote that 
line).  It's really a bit sad when your classes are a joke-- yet your 
GPA is the only one in the 10th grade that's *not* a prime number.

>Well at least I hope that you wont have to put up with

> Honors class doesn't know the difference between a noun and a 
> verb....and that IS NOT a joke!!!

I don't even have the luxury of Honors English!  *mutters about cheap 
school districts*  But I'm seriously doubting my classes' ability to 
differentiate between nouns and verbs.  AUUGH!

First period is my grace period-- band, aka Chill Time; the conductor 
is much like Dumbledore.  However, I'm pretty sure that my Honors 
Biology class is going to be hell (my reputation for destroying 
Bunsen Burners precedes me with my school's answer to Snape), as will 
my Algebra 2 courseload (McGonagall).  I'm praying for a reprieve in 
Accelerated History (AKA "Where the Teacher Who Resembles Lupin Grabs 
All the Kids With Half a Brain and Puts Them in the Same Period")...
 
> Well best of luck in the new school year....

Same to you, Scott, and to everyone else facing the horrors of 
academia!
