I don't know 'zactly how long it's been since I last posted... probably sometime during early September would be my guess, as that's just before school started for me. At any rate, I'm just popping in here to either A) Reassure you with news that I'm still alive, or B) Dissapoint you with news that I'm not dead yet.

Basically, thing's've been really busy, as this is my first year in high school. Granted, I've only got four classes a day with intensive scheduling, but I've got each of them for an hour and a half each, which means lots of stuff to go over at night, lots of tests 'n quizzes to study for, and, mainly in the case of Science, no shortage of homework.
I'd say I've adjusted to the fact that the new school is bigger. And the fact that there are two of them. (Long story short, a year ago, they split into two schools, and you're required to have a classes in each of them. Crazy stuff.) But, well, I'm used to that and where my classes are, but that doesn't mean I'm not very busy.
Right now, in addition to basic homework, I've now got to practice my cello, (you actually have to try now, because it's a major class that you get a grade for T~T) work on stuff for Forensics, (not like the CSI stuff, like debate stuff) work on a newspaper article when I have one, (I'm on the school newspaper - hooray for me!) in addition to whatever else I have planned in my life, like piano on Thursdays and tennis on Sundays.
Bored yet?



And, to continue my story, if that weren't enough, I'm getting braces on soon. At 14. >.< Much bleh. I'm getting spacers on in probably around a month, or whenever we scheudule it for, and then I'll have 'em on for a year and a half, or until mid- to late-10th grade, when I'm 15. Wow.
Oh, and, also, not so important, a medical problem of mine involving my kidneys has recently gone into a relapse. It's nothing too major, but it means I have to take a large dose of immunosuppressents every morning, which means my immune system isn't doing quite as well, plus, it's got weird side effects, like possibly weight gain, occasional insomnia, etc. Also, for some reason, my face swells up if I have too much salt while it's happening, so I'm on a low-salt diet.
And, that's my life in a nutshell. So, how're you guys doing?

And... now I'm getting called down for dinner, followed by which I'm going to synagogue for Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement. Yes, I'm Jewish.
Byez!
