The Trail to Nothing

Well, as some of you may already know, this week marks the first week of the school year. And now, I'm a sophomore. And I don't know if it's the transition after summer vacation, but it is way harder than freshman year.
Picture
The first week has been a lot to handle, and if you ask me, teachers should not be allowed to give homework on the first week. The way it goes is, no teacher wants to give homework on the first day, and appear mean. But then what happens is, all the teachers give out homework on the second day, all at once.
There's also been a new development in my house. For as long as I can remember, We've been using a really old box TV that's older than I am. It's a giant capacitor, its color screws up periodically, and still makes that weird noise when it turns on.

But yesterday I walked in and I saw a HUMONGOUS HDTV sitting there.

This is pretty awesome. Now I can play my games much better, and I was amazed to discover that you can't see the individual pixels.
But getting back, on the first Friday of every school year, my school has a tradition of taking a charter bus to go hiking on the Billy Goat Trail. I remember last year, the bus was making a turn, and sideswiped a car that was coming out the way we were going in.

The ironic thing is, I was asking Zachary if any memorable things had happened at Nora while he was there.
This year, my mom gave me a waist strap with a place for a water bottle, which I guess is better than carrying around my entire backpack.
The Billy Goat Trail is especially arduous for me, because I'm not exactly what you'd call athletic. I prefer to think of myself as an intellectual. 
I was out of breath in the first fifteen minutes of the hike. I was following Zachary, or trying to, but it was pretty hard.
Picture
Somehow, with the help of frequent rest stops, I crawled my way through the rest of the Trail, after which I promptly flopped onto the ground. then my dad drove me home, and I emphatically hooked up my Wii to the new HDTV.
And oh yeah.
My birthday party's tomorrow.
