Gone In 60 Seconds

By Ryan, August 14, 2006

Dang, that summer went by waay too fast!! I still managed to do a lot, the highlight being a car trip to Canada with two brothers who don’t know the meaning of quiet.

Well, maybe they know the meaning, they just didn’t apply it.
Whatever, technicality gets me a lot. Today was the first day of school, which most of my audience probably knows by now. Man, the “first day” stories flow in abundance! Here are a select few I’ve picked out just for ya’ll...

First period, PreAP Pre-Calculus... my teacher (Mrs. E.) made me laugh out loud, a feat that even Leno fails to achieve sometimes. I discover that she also speaks German, my “other” language. Ihre Klasse macht viel Spaß!

Second period, US History... My teacher is amused by my sense of humor when she calls roll... the last two people before me went by something other than what their real name is, so when she called out “Ryan” I made a point out of the fact that I go by Ryan. (Tomorrow I’m gonna tell someone to pronounce it ree-AHN.)

Third period, AP Computer Science II (as if I wasn’t geeky enough)... we learn Java instead of VB, which is what I know really well from CS1. Geez, the teacher won’t even allow us to eat Skittles or Doritos or drink Cokes or listen to iPods. I miss Mr. Benschneider (my CS1 teacher) so much!!

Fourth period, early release... I spent fourth period in my mom’s classroom taking attendance papers to the office... or “doing her bidding” as I explained to my Geometry teacher from last year. She was amused.
So I guess I started the school year on the right foot, although tomorrow I have four other class periods to report on... I get to be a lab assisstant* for my former Chemistry teacher, then I go to PreAP Physics*, then English III*, then PreAP German III*.

They say that nobody gets a second chance at a first impression, but the good (or bad) effects of a first impression can be wiped away like Expo markers from a whiteboard. I hope my first impression with my new teachers is a good solid one. However, nobody ever made a “first impression” on God. Nobody ever had to. The impression that God has of us is found in our hearts*. No matter how good or bad we act, God knows our hearts, so we have nothing to hide. And if we have nothing to hide from Him, what must we hide from the world?

So August 14th of 2006 is behind us now. Life continues, but how it continues is up to us. It’s our duty to be who God intended us to be. Show the world what God wanted to show when He created you. And even if you execrate school as much as I do, it’s one of the best places to be yourself. See? I can be myself anywhere... a nerd who knows how to correctly use the word execrate.
