School work with a twist of rejection...

The poisonous mixture which i can say is almost breaking me at this present date. As i sit here typing away ever so freely i cant help but fear the worst for this new school i have moved to. I expected some good things from Mandurah Senior Campus but alas have not seen one thing i can call a complete positive for me. I honestly thought this could be a good change for me. I dont know what to think so far but maybe im being a premature with my thoughts and should give it more time. Time will tell..


Feb 1st (The First day of my New school)


I hadn't previously had any worries as to what the new school would be like. I was assured there were many other new students to year 12 in the campus and that i would be fine. I still couldn't help but stress. I woke up in the morning at 3 i believe out of my sub-concious worries of starting school today. I couldn't seem to calm down so i went for a shower and was fine. I was awaken at 7:30pm. This is a luxury compared to the time i would wake up for leeming high school. I quickly ate my breakfast and chucked on the school shirt with me denim 3 quarter length pants on. I headed for the car. It started to hit me that i was finally going to start my first day at a completely foriegn school. The only people i knew were the few yr 11's that i had worked with, but didnt choose to talk to them as i felt it could of ruined my rep before i had got some. I walked into the greeting assembly late. Everyone tends to look at you when you walk in all gobsmacked at how many people there are. The amount of people here shit on the amount of yr 12's in leeming. I just quietly made my way to the side as there were no seats left. To my utmost joy i wasnt the only one late as about another 20 people flocked in afterwards. The assembly was short and sweet and i was eager to get into a comfort zone of a class.

My first and only class for that day was Structured workplace learning (SWL) and it was just listening to the contracts and inductions talks of the whole course. All pretty straight forward but i knew noone, so i sat on a chair behind the semi circle of desks and just completed my forms from there. I then went to the library to fill out a worksafe certificate. I had to pass a quiz on the computer. It took me 3times but i finally passed it. It turns out the guy next to me liked radiohead so i used that as a common topic of interest during conversation. Dominic Spear i believe his name to be. He and his friend seemed pretty kewl but for now they were just aqquaintances. We broke for lunch, and it all became a bit overwhelming. I couldn't see one recognisable face amongst the vast mixture of yr 11 and 12 students. I decided to just txt my friends at leeming in a bid to forget i was at the campus. I even txt my mum teeling her about my day and reassuring her all was well. After about 10mins i was really feeling uncomfortable and decided to just sit in my class i had next. The teachers talked to me in an effort to make me feel at ease. I just wanted to sit down and relax though. The day ended and i thought it was pretty average for a first day... I thought to myself 'Don't worry liam, you have media tomorrow.. there are bound to be people who share the same interests in there.. But as Feb 2 had it, no there weren't any.



Feb 2nd (I know where the english block is at the school now)

Worry is kicking in but i still got a better night sleep. I woke up in a cheery mood, which is unusual compared to the normal scarcastic mood i usually wake up in. I decided not to eat breakfast as i wasnt starving or really that hungry and the fact i was already running late of schedule for school. I arrived at school with high hopes. People might of known i was new by now and make an effort to talk to me. I was hoping anyways, i just waited and seen how the day progressed. I go to my english class. I arrive kinda on time but still one or 2minutes later then i should have supposedly done. I sat down next to some preppie girls as all they boys were shunned off by surrounding patrons of the class. A girl rockd up late called daniel. She had the choice of me or a very wierd nervous like girl. She choose me thankfully. The nervous girl had friends beside her though so dont pity her too much. BUt she was also new to the school. Daniel her name is, she came from south fremantle high school, where my mates jayde and tanya 'studied'. We ended up having a good conversation and thought today was going to be a good day. I ended up having a 2 hour break before my next class. I wasnt sure if i didi so i went to my class to check. I accidently walked in on a year 11 class whilst doing so but hey, better sooner then sorry. For the whole 3 hours break i waited at the front of the school posing as if my mum was to pick me up. This made me seem less lonerish but it was really hot during the process. I thought atleast one person would have talked to me being new, you know someone to show me the ropes.. but no. Its very pretentious At MSC. As there is no dress code people usually dress to impress and tease others about what they are wearing. IM sure i will get to the stage where i will venture in with my placebo shirt on.. Maybe this monday for music in society but meh.

I got sick of waiting for 'my mum to pick me up' so i decided to grab a bite to eat. I must say the food is many times better then the shite people have at leeming. Coke, Vanilla coke, powerade, lasagna, beef rolls, sushi, pasta's it was a buffet. but not for free unfortunately. I was wondering around looking like a lost puppy when a workmate Sam seen me in strife and hung with me for a brief moment. I was really thankful he did, he is a wonderful kid really. I love working with him, very polite and never wrongs you. He is also a bit of a looker ladies so lemme know :P (you will have to take a number after me ahaha jks)

Media started. There was a 1:8 boy to girl ratio. All the guys seemed really quite 'geeky' except for one who was wearing an 'At the drive in' band shirt. i thought of mustering up enough courage to start a conversation but i put it to rest. Well seemed noone in the class shared any common interests. I sat alone again and talked to absolute noone. Its a very good way to put yourself in a neutral position between dickhead and alright guy, so i used it to my 'advantage'. The day was long and boring. Thinking about BDO kept me going. As i get in the car and tell my mother it was good i relised I seriously miss my old school.

Why did we move?, we had it all...
