Early this week, we received my orientation package from my new school. In addition to my whirlwind social life, I have started preparing for school. I have a new sleep schedule to which I am adapting and it has not been easy for anyone. I am not napping now but I go to bed early . . . sometimes as early as 6:00pm. I start to fall apart around 4:00pm so my mom has moved my dinner to mid-afternoon so I have lots of healthy food in my tummy to make it through the night. This all means that 1) I sometimes don't see my dad in the evening and 2) my mom goes to bed when I do but wakes up for the day at 1:00am. Quitting the nap was my (BAD) idea but I will need to be well rested for a rigorous academic schedule. According to my school's policies, I must get at least 11 hours of sleep at night. And only have sweets twice a week . . . and definitely not before school.
Before school starts, I have supplies to gather. I need an entire new wardrobe to fall into line with the dress code. And I desperately needed a haircut. Here is my golden mop of hair that I sported until this morning.
And here is me afterward. The best part of getting my hair cut, other than looking so handsome, is playing with the toys at the barbershop. I arrive early and stay late. I learned today that I have the same barber as Lance Armstrong's kids.
More about school: my mom went to a meeting tonight to visit my classroom (it's beautifully bright and airy and there is a drinking glass with my name handwritten on it!) and meet my new teachers (well-versed in a variety of educational philosophies). I visit my school three times next week and then I start on August 29. I am so ready.
