Golden leaves
outcast in a sea of green
Only to you
Is your magnificence unseen
Today was a really amazing first day. I flew to school in a spaceship while Hotel California played. Then things just got better and better. My French name.. it drives me crazy. Madame Holmes told us to go pick a name from the back wall. Being a complete freak, I went for Helen. Seriously, I don't even know why that happened. Something made me go back though. Why would I want to be someone else just because they have what I want? Hell no. Ew. So I went to put that shit back so I could get another. Turning around, I browsed through the names searching for something powerful, beautiful... something that felt right. One began to stick out significantly. I was drawn to it. My eyes could no longer search the sea of names, for Aurore called to me. Madame Holmes went about the class asking for names. At the mention of mine, and only mine, did she pause. A look of awe crossed her face, "What a beautiful name. It means 'sunrise,'" she informed me. It all made sense.
Sunrise. Much like the one that glowed magnificently in a bath of marmalade sky this morning. The one that made me believe it would be a good day. A new day, to let go of the past and start fresh.
This will be an incredible year that I will never forget. Maybe it'll seem dull at times, but I have 9 months here. That's enough time for a lot of things to happen. I'm ready for all of it.
