First Days
There's always a first for everything...first steps, first words, first job, and of course, first days of school. I have absolutely no recollection of the day I first stepped foot in Hawthorn Christian Academy. Actually, the only memories I have of that school are running around on the playground, being in a one-room schoolhouse, and making deer stew with a friend. However, since grade 4, my memory has served me better and I will try to write down some memories before they leave my head completely!First day of Grade 4: I walked into the class in my oversized jumper. I was with my mom and all the students were already sitting down. Class had already started and I was introduced. During break, I was waiting for my sister or Natasha or anyone I knew to come outside when a girl named Morgan introduced herself to me. We played during recess and we've been great friends since
First day of Grade 5: Lots of new students...during break, Mrs. Yeomans asked me and Morgan to befriend a girl named Amarea who was by herself by the swings (I think...correct me if I'm wrong). We enthousiastically ran toward her, probably scaring her to death with our friendliness.
First day of Grade 6: Can't remember.
First day of Grade 7: We had lockers! Obviously, that was what was important in my life at the time.
First day of Grade 8: Lockers again! I shared one with the new girl: Jessica Christian
First day of Grade 9: New students were Chris and Carol Wong. We all thought they were twins.
First day of Grade 10, 11, 12: Can't remember...I remember lots of things from during the year, but not specifically the first day.
First day of 1st year at Dal: Mom drove me to the McCain Building where I had one class - Biology with Megha and Jessie.
First day of 2nd year at Dal: I was wearing a pink American Eagle shirt. Apparently clothes were the most important thing in my life at the time!
First day of 3rd year at Dal: I was wearing...jk. Found out I shared Physiology with 4 different girls I met last year - Alison, Alley, Mallory and Maki. Ran into Megha filling out an interesting survey....all for a feather boa :)...got a feather boa for myself, helped out with the Campus for Christ table where I saw Jessie and Morgan and I helped give out FREE STUFF for 20 minutes, and on the way to evolution, I saw Amarea! What are the chances of seeing all you guys on the first day? I miss you all so much! Oh, and I also found out my evolution prof was bitten by a vampire bat...so maybe in the middle of class he'll suddenly transform. That could be amusing.
Well, I'm done for the day. Bread machine kept me up half the night! Do you remember YOUR first days?

I remember my first day of primary because I have this cute little picture of me wearing my new backpack on my first day of school. I was darling ;).
Hey Jeana! My mom makes bread with a bread machine instead of buying it from the store...so we always have fresh bread! But she programmed it to go during the night so it kept me up for like an hour!
