School

Terribly sorry this post is so late. I didn't remember we had a blog due until after midnight this... morning, so I decided that I'd wait and do this later after I'd gotten some sleep and was capable of forming coherent sentences.

Anyway: I am currently in 9th Grade and attending Anderson High School in Austin, TX. Maybe it only seems like this because it's the only high school I've ever gone to, but I think that Anderson is a fairly average school. Maybe a little better than average. It isn't in a really wealthy area, but it isn't in a "poor" area either. It seems to be a pretty good school when it comes to academics and the fine arts. I don't know about athletics, though. I only ever go to the football games (and only because of marching band), and the football team is pretty bad.

I guess I haven't mentioned it before, but I'm in marching band. I play the trumpet, which doesn't match my personality at all, but whatever. I'm not great at it, but I'm not bad either. Marching band is really fun, even if it IS ridiculously time-consuming. Yesterday was the first Saturday in three weeks that we hadn't had marching contest, and we have UIL on Monday.

I'm not really in any clubs at Anderson (actually, I'm supposed to be in German club, but I don't go to any of the meetings), but I thought I'd mention one of them anyway: the Gay-Straight Alliance. I think it's great that we have that, and I'd join it if they didn't meet on Wednesdays. You see, that's when German club meetings are, and I'm supposed to be going to those, so I don't want to join another club that meets on Wednesdays. For the record, I'm straight, but I fully support gay rights. If you disagree with me, please argue with me. That should be fun.
