Today is September 07, 2010. In the morning, I attended my first computer science class of the 2010-11 school year. It was also the first day of high school! I walked in the classroom nervous and anxious. Who can possibly blame me? I am a pre-IB freshman with no clue what to expect!
At the beginning of class Mr. Arkin distributed our locker numbers. Then, he discussed the importance of having a good lock in possession. The class was then asked to copy down our homework for tonight.
"Homework on the first day?!" (Yes, that was I; however, I then accepted this fact and eventually moved on..)
For homework, as explained by Mr. Arkin in class and on the class website, we have to:
1. Review the class website (touque.ca) with a parent/guardian
2. Complete Wikispace assignment (www.wikispaces.com)
3. Preview the Super-power autobiography assignment
4. Create a Blogger account and write a blog.
So far, I have finished assigned homework number one to three, and I am on the verge of finishing the forth. (Writing this blog) Surprisingly, I am actually enjoying the experience of blogging! I find it a way to express myself and finish my homework. Who knew?
In closing: After my first day of high school, I feel that I am now mentally equiped for what challenges high school may present to me tomorrow, and in the next four years. I know I can handle it.
Wow, Lisa! Like your work usually is, this is informative and well-written! (Hmm, why do I feel like I'm talking about an essay?)
ReplyDeleteI was also nervous on the first day, so I can definitely relate to you on that. ;]
