Back to school!

Hi-hi everyone!  Lucy here.  Sorry for the lack of posts.  Last Monday was my human's (Bre/BuckinghamAlice, for those who don't know) birthday and she's been busy and whatnot, so you know how it is.  


Well, this Monday was the first day of school here, and I was super nervous.  I'm in the 6th grade and this was my first day at my new school in Bakersfield.  Not only that, but my new school is a private all-girls school, and I've only ever been to public co-ed schools.  Luckily, Keisha and I were both going to the same school (and would both be new kids).  She was just as nervous as I was, so we spent a long time in the days before Monday talking about what we would wear, what we would bring, and everything like that.


When Monday morning came, Keisha's mom drove us the fifteen minutes across town from our regular middle to upper middle class neighbor to the bona fide ritzy area.  Keisha and I are in the same class (thank goodness!).  Our teacher is named Miss Anne Demello, but she told us all to call her Anne.  She's fairly young and really pretty, but best of all, she's really nice.  Keisha and I both like the school a lot, but we haven't made any other friends yet.  Most of these girls have been going to this school since kindergarten, and it's a pretty small school, so they all know each other well.  No one has been mean to either of us, but they haven't been nice either.  One of the girls is having a birthday party this weekend, and Keisha and I are the only ones in our whole class who didn't get invited.  We're not too upset by it, but it would have been nice to get invited to a party.  We decided to have our own party this weekend.  A sleepover -- just the two of us, a bell pepper and olive pizza, and a huge stack of DVDs.  We're going to have a lovely time and not think about school.  =)


And since the pic at the top of the post is a closeup, here's a full length shot of Keisha and me on our way out the door on the first morning of school:
