Yeah! At my old school we'd start in September, after Labor Day. But at my new one I'm going to starts August 27th. I'm going to 6th grade in Middle School. My old school said 6th grade was elementary, so I never graduated elementary 'cause I wanted out of there. I went to a summer school at my new school to work on film & pictures, and Volleyball, and I LOVE it. I can't wait until school starts! I'm gonna go get my classes soon, and I hope I got into the advanced Math. They tol me I already got into Gate English, and the sem-advanced math.. so, im excited to acutally LEARN. First time at a public school, so excited
Ohmygosh, yes! I'm really looking into the four blocks a day instead of the seven periods. (My high school has block scheduling, whereas my middle school had (Well, still has, but now I'm not going to be there. =P) seven periods a day, and you have the same schedule all year round.) You get more time to get immersed in the subject. Oh, ya, and I'm doubling up on Math so I can take Geometry first semester, and Trig the second semester. I'm very excited about that! (I'm a Math geek. =P) And I wish we could skip Summer next year so I can go straight from ninth to tenth grade because I can't wait to take Calculus. (Always sounded fun. =P) But anywho, ya...I'm really looking forward to the block scheduling. I really liked it last year, when I had to go over to the high school for my Math. (My high school and Middle School are joined by a hallway, so you just walk through this one door, and you're in the high school.) Oh, and the girls' and guys' gym class is separated, and the girls get to play Ping Pong in Gym. (Which is very good for athletically challenged and uncoordinated people like me. =P)
Oh yeah, and my friends, too. =P There are three separate lunches, but in the high school they're not separated by grades as it always was in all the other grades, so we might all be separated. D: Atleast there'll be (hopefully) a few of us in each lunch. But then again, I can imagine a bunch of them in one lunch, a few in another, and then me, all alone. XDDD
