Day 2

  My second day of high school went smoother than my first, luckily. Like the school enthusiast that I am, I have become increasingly excited about the year to come. Only one thing in particular has been bothering me all day long.

  Earlier in the summer I auditioned for a theatre program that is a part of the public school system. Basically, I would leave school for two hours a day to go to another school and take a drama class. The program boasted all sorts of amazing opportunities, and hey, let's face it, who WOULDN'T want to leave school and take a drama class?

  So, receiving my schedule a few days ago, I noticed that the program was NOT on my schedule, and I sort of panicked, but the administrators at my school calmed me down and informed me that I would eventually receive a new schedule WITH the theatre program included on it.

  phew.... Relief. All will be okay.

  No, of course not! I took a look at my schedule and found that I was in AP U.S. History, and since history is indeed my favorite subject, naturally, I was thrilled! But, if I take the theatre opportunity, you guessed it, I can't take AP U.S. History. So, I have a pretty big decision on my hands, and I'm not sure what to do. I'm sort of split between two passions, and I don't know which to choose.

  But, enough of that. I want to tell you all about what happened yesterday at an ice cream shop. That morning I was handed a $10 bill, but by the time I was on my way home I had less than a dollar. With only 97 cents in hand, I was dying for ice cream. I was dying for it, seriously, I needed soft serve more than I needed oxygen. This was SERIOUS.

  So, I walked into the shop, with my bubbly personality in tow, and brightly asked "Is there anything I could buy with 97 cents?". For the record, I figured he would say no, and I would just sample myself to death. But, he didn't say no. He chuckled a little and said, "Don't worry I'll cover you!", and voila! I poured out all of the change in my pocket onto his hand, along with a cough drop wrapper, and he gave me a cone of ice cream. You better believe it.

  The lesson for today kids: Smiling gets you ice cream! But, make sure you don't smile ALL of the time, because then we'd all get diabetes.
