High School

My high school orientation is tomorrow.
In my head I'm thinking, what could they possibly have to show me that I honestly want to know? I've gone through the content for all my classes and none of the material interests me. In English we're reading books that I've already read (To Kill A Mockingbird, Fahrenheit 451, The Giver, to name a few), in Math we're learning things I most likely won't understand. And even in Science, I won't get to learn about astronomy because I'm taking advanced classes.
Clubs are another iffy thing. I am no athlete, not even much of a runner (I appear to have this problem where I end up tripping every time I try to run). The clubs cater to people who enjoy athletic things, and a sparse few to those who don't. They don't even have an astronomy club. And taking pictures for yearbook just isn't my idea of fun.
Which is how I came to the question: How on earth am I going to convince my sports obsessed/jock loving principal to get an astronomy club or possibly get my science teacher to do something on marine biology? Or maybe even get my English teacher to hand out more writing assignments to a girl who is constantly turning everything around her into a story?
Boy, am I going to have fun with that one.
It's not like I won't enjoy high school. More freedom - asides from the fact that my little brother is following me - and harder assignments (hopefully). Possibly better class trips, actually scratch that, definitely better class trips, seeing as how I am definitely signing up to go to Peru. Not with my high school of course, but with National Geographic.
My mother suggested I join the choir, because and I quote "You have a lovely voice, dear." You can imagine my face.
So, no choir.
Just, no.
