I learned something today: sixty-five percent of the drama club at my school are devout Whovians. How fortuitous that I happened to attend the first informational meeting today to find that out. One of the juniors I met even hinted that she and a friend would be initiating a Doctor Who club as soon as they got a sponsor. Finally, a place where my ample supply of nerdy t-shirts will be appreciated.
So that makes three: marching band, drama club, and anime club. Three extracurricular activities that I have gotten involved in at my high school. Perhaps now all of the sermons about the importance of getting involved in as many activities as possible will cease. Technically, anime club hasn't had their first meeting yet, but I plan to join in. I've been a proud otaku for about a decade now (it began with weekdays morning episodes of Pokemon before preschool).
Overall, I think that I've adjusted well to the high school environment. I haven't gotten lost once or been late to any of my classes, I have a lunch group, and I'm tolerating marching band as best I can until I can once again return to playing my beloved oboe. You can laugh, but it took me four long years of renting to own that instrument, and I can play a kickass solo.
