I got through my first week at this school with no problems and I have been having a lot of fun with new friends. Those people that I don't care for don't matter. Why should they? I have cool people in all my classes and this term sounds like a good one. Going back to school is really hard though. I didn't get to do any of the usually things I would before school starts. All I did this year before school started was go shopping with Lyndsay. I know we are completely different but she seems to understand me. She knows that this isn't where I want to be right now. I'll give you one guess... if you don't get it then you gotta look at this diary one more time. Lyndsay has had the same home her whole life and she will never want to leave until the time comes. Plus, she does know what it was like with only one parent, her dad left (maybe a year) after my mom left me. She coped with it but it was really hard for Michael not having a dad. They are much better now that Kara married Brad and she doesn't have to do everything by herself. Now how is my dad doing? Still bad, I think I will be flying to stay with him over the whole winter break to see him and all my friends, but I am mostly there for him. I miss my friends too though... those people just stick with me no matter what and I would be nowhere without them.

But here is good, too. School is easy for me and I'm doing well in all my classes (including some accelerated) Most teachers aren't great but that's ok, I never really cared for "authority" anyway. They all think they know what is best and try to contol your life when most of them messed up theirs' many years ago. The only adults that are allowed to tell me what I should do are Kora, my dad, and maybe Brad.

I have classes with Lui and a lot of his friends, now my friends, so it's always hilarious. I'm never lonely when I have one of them around. But now, I have also noticed that there are a lot of wannabes here. They are like preps who realized that that's not so great and now they wanna be something that they're not. It's ok, you should do whatever feels comfortable for you, they are actually some pretty cool people.

My asian friends are the shit. Classes would not be fun without them.
