Mum, Dad, and I went to meet with my councilor, Mrs. Lynn, yesterday to pick out my classes. Two seniors, Colin and Leah, gave us a tour of the school and told us what classes where in which building. There are a total of six buildings on the campus, surrounding a central courtyard.
I am going to take Spanish, Geometry, Chemistry, Honors Western Civilization, Photography, and Honors English 10. Because of the difference in how the History class systems are set up, next year, I won't have to take the same class as the other juniors. As a junior at Catalina, you take US History, which I already had this past year as a freshman, so I'll be taking an Honors European History class to build on my knowledge from 8th grade World History.

A Lot of News
Since I have not been able to post lately, there is tons of news to relay to everyone back in old Wisconsin. First of all, we made it here fine. Even the pets were content with 26 hours of riding in the car, though it was uneventful and boring (especially Kansas and Oklahoma).
Anyway, we stayed at a very nice hotel here in Tucson. $89/night, a 5 star resort! They also let Momo and Izzy stay there. It has a HUGE improvement over the hotel we stayed in when we were in Wichita... especially since that one had a "No Handguns Allowed" sign on the front door.
Anyway, on Friday we got all of our stuff moved in, and much of it is still in boxes. We don't even have a mattress for my bed yet... I'm sleeping in our guestroom downstairs until Wednesday, when my mattress is delivered. As well, we had the most hilarious movers ever. The head mover's name is Peter (pronounced Peh-ter). He brought along his son on their cross-country adventure, but he got sick and had to stay in the van with the air conditioning turned on full blast. Also, there were two other guys, Martin and Guse (pronounced Gooze, for those of you who remember Guse from Hamilton). Guze was a tiny guy who could lift my entire dresser (which was packed full of clothes) and carry it up the stairs. Apparently, his nickname is "LittleBigMan" after the Dustin Hoffman movie. His partner in crime, Martin, was deffinely the Alpha of the two. He would shout at Guze all the time, but it was obvious that it was playful banter.
During this whole escapade of stress and loud, funny movers, Izzy and Momo were locked up in the upstairs bathroom (which happens to be mine). And Momo found a very interesting spot to sleep:
And today we got our internet set up by this weird Bush-And-Glen-Beck-Loving cable guy. For those who do not know who Glen Beck is, look him up on YouTube and witness the horror. He is a wack job comentator for Fox News *shudder* and he is worse than Rush Limbaugh (Right-Wing Idiot Extrordinaire), Sean Hannity (Fox News Maniac), and Ann Coulter (Idiot-Right-Wing-Woman-Who-Told-the-9/11-Widows-to-"take the money and shut up").
So yeah... life sure has taken an interesting turn... Oh and I'm getting Mum's Mac!
