It was 5:30 AM and I could barely open my eyes and I just did not want to wake up… but I knew I had to, so I crawled out of bed and began choosing what to wear for school. I walked into the dark-empty hallway, it was freezing and lifeless. I walked into the kitchen and turned on the lights, shuffling my feet I slowly made my way to the pantry to pour myself a bowl of Frosted Flakes. They were very stale from not being eaten since last June but I still managed to eat the entire bowl. After I was finally done I turned on the television and watched the morning news at 6, which was boring but it was the only thing on that early in the morning.
When it came time to leave 20 minutes later I rushed out the door and into the empty world, everyone was asleep and my street was so dark… I felt like it was the last man on earth. I slowly made my way down to the end of the street, to be met with a bunch of sophomores; they did not talk much since it was so early in the morning… When the bus finally arrived at our stop I climbed up the steep staircase and sat in the nearest seat to the two kids who were on my bus last year. We talked about our summer and looked for other kids we knew on the bus.
When we finally got to school I was surprised at the amount of people at the school it was like the entire population of Michigan had gathered at the school. When I got into the school I slowly made my way through the people talking in the hall and found my locker. I put my books away, grabbed a random pencil and went to go find some friends. I found a couple people and talked about how our summer went and what we had done exciting. I was so tired I didn’t really want to talk so I just said “It was good” and listened in on what the others had to say.
When the first bell had rung I rushed to my first hour and was ready to officially start my school year at Stevenson, I knew it was going to be a great school year…

Highschool
My first two weeks in Stevenson so far have been very fun. The first couple of days I was still trying to get the hang of the school and get to know the physical layout of the school still. I caught up with a couple of friends and met a few new ones too.
After those first couple of days of finding my classes and barely making it to class on time I had a set patterns and a set route to get to each class and it became a lot easier. Also after my first week of school things have gotten to be a lot tougher than the first week, since the teachers and students are getting into the groove of the regular school schedule. My school assignments have gotten a lot tougher too, I usually have about an hour to an hour and a half of homework every night compared to what I had last year back in middle school of about half an hour to forty-five minutes. Also the difficulty of the homework… I used to breeze by all of the homework and now I really have to try and think hard to get full credit for my assignments and tests.
The extra schools activities have also been exciting…last year the only after school activities we had were little parties now we are having many dances and meetings to get to experience the school in a whole different kind of way! My first outside school activity I went to was the Freshman dance which was very fun. There were many people I haven't seen in forever and many people I already knew!
Overall my experience so far at Steven has been a blast and I can not wait for what the rest of the year has for me.
