Me...

I don't know how interested anyone would really be in my defining exactly who I am...I mean that might be kind of creepy, but no big deal. I'm Hayley and yes I am a junior. I'll enjoy being the outlier for the year, yup I did just try to connect my life with this class. Pathetic maybe? idk.

Anyway, I'm on poms and it basically takes over my whole life. I've considered that this class will probably show me how bizarre sociologically my team is. We're kind of obsessed with each other. I love being on VP, and it's taught me a lot about myself. I've been dancing since I was three years old and I love it more than anything else.
I have an older sister who is a junior in college and an older brother who left for college this morning. My family is really important to me and without them, I definately wouldn't be the person I am.
I'm completely OCD about a lot of things and definately a perfectionist, but I'm usually laid back and having a good time. I don't know what else really there is to know about me. I wake up come to school go to practice come home eat do homework and sleep. Then I wake up the next morning and start it all again. Yup. That's about it. Peace :]

First Day

Our first day of class was unlike any other I've had in high school so far. It was very out of the ordinary to have a teacher sit silently in the front of the room instead of an enthusiastic welcome. I was already uneasy, knowing I wouldn't know very many people in the class because of my age. The added awkwardness of complete silence wasn't very helpful; however, it was interesting to see how people reacted. As the year continues, it's far less awkward in class, and I am looking forward to the rest of the year.
As for the electrocution experiment, I would like to say I know for sure that I wouldn't knowingly shock another person, but I don't know myself well enough to know what I would do in that situation. Hopefully, it would never arise. I don't think my conscious would be able to handle that scenario. I'm excited to learn why we do what we do, our interaction with society, and what kind of impacts society has on us that we may not even realize.
