Mitch’s First day of High School by Mitch and Mom
It all
started this morning when my mom took the wrong turn and got on the freeway
instead of Woodscross where the bus was supposed to pick me up. She let me out on the freeway entrance
and I started walking to the bus stop as fast as I could. I got a ride by the only person I knew going to NUAMES.
We missed
the bus and sped as fast we could to Bountiful High School where we also missed
the bus. We then drove at mach 5
to the next pick up which was Viewmont.
In the mean time, my mom was driving at mach 5 to the next freeway exit,
ran a red light and sped back to find me.
She saw the NUAMES bus leave the highschool as she was still on the freeway
trying to get to me. When she got
to the school I wasn’t there and she couldn’t figure out where I had gone as
she saw that I had missed the bus.
She sped to Viewmont to make sure I was on the bus. When she got there she was shocked to
see me waiting for the bus. She gave me
my lunch and all was well.
On the way to school I
had a sound track of odd kids making pokemon noises and talking about World of
War Craft. All of the other kids
on the bus were talking about Mind Craft or Star Craft. I was entering alien territory.
When we
arrived at school I was about ready to shoot myself. We started with period 5, English, not much to talk about
there. Next I had Digital
Photography. I am very excited
about this class as we are learning everything about Photoshop. I have an assignment to take 20 pictures of specific items
for next weeks.
Next came
lunch. It is weird to have only two periods and then lunch. I ate with the girl that gave me a ride
to school, Witley, which is the weirdest name on earth. There are lots of people with strange
names at that school, one girl (im not making this up) her first name is Demo
and last name is Lition. Only at
NUAMES. She is a weird girl, so it
fits ish.
After lunch
I had math, gotta love math. It is
taught by a Russian lady who spells everything wrong on the board as she can’t
speak the language too well. We
are guinea pigs in a new math class that has never been taught before. Wish me luck.
Next came
Engineering. It is cool, we have
an assignment to make a paper bridge to span between two boxes with no other
materials than paper. I am
excited.
After school
we had our First Robotic club class.
I am way excited the last group that did it won the state championship
and went on to the world championship that is held in St. Louis and got 81st
out of 83! It was U.S. and then all those Asian countries.
After First
Robotics the fun began. First I
couldn’t find a bus to take me to the Front Runner Train. I called my mom but she didn’t want to
drive all the way to Layton as they told her there was a bus that left from the
school and I needed to figure it out.
This was about 3:15. It
took me a long time to figure out where the bus was. So… the first bus took me in the wrong direction. I stayed on the bus to loop back
around to the school. On the way
back to the school we as we were driving along (I was the only passenger) a truck
with a trailer on it was trying to turn and didn’t see us, we tried to swerve
out of the way but it bashed into the back of us and we did a 180 and almost
tipped over. My neck still hurts.
After all police in Utah came and I had to fill out 1000 forms about the accident
(they wont be able to read them, have you seen my handwriting?) That took about
an hour and a half. Then I got on
the same number bus and had to go all the way back where I turned around,
waited another hour to get on a different bus that took me the front runner
station. On the way to the station
we stopped at a train crossing and watched my train leave. I was about 30 seconds late : (. I had to wait another hour for the next
train.
In the
meantime (since I never called or texted my mom), she was calling the police to
see what had happened to me. She
got a call about 6:00 from a police office who told her that my bus had been in
an accident and he had my Park city ski pass. That’s all he told her. If that police hadn’t called she
wouldn’t have heard a thing from 3:30 until 8 when I finally got to
Woodscross! Lets pause and feel
sorry for my mom who was going crazy wondering what happened to her little boy
on his first day of high school! My
phone was dead and I didn’t want to use the little bit of batteries I had. I wanted to save the battery so I
could call when I finally got to Woodscross. Poor mom
So at 8 I
arrived safe and sound ish…, 5 ½ hours after school was out. We went for ice cream and are now
writing this note as not to forget my first day of High school!
