Eighth graaaaaaade! I&#39

Eighth graaaaaaade! I'm going to be an eighth grader in three days! Yaaay! Anyone else looking forward to school starting? I certainly have a lot to look forward to. There's:

1. Stage managing a play.

2. Being an officer in our Jr. Thespians troup.

3. (Hopefuly) Being an editor on our school newspaper.

4. Staying later at dances.

5. The book club (called Pies and Prejudice), Story Club, and band (called Whipped Cream) my friends and I started.

6. Ellectives. I'm taking French, Drama, and Backstage Production!

7. School in general!

So, what are you guys excited for? Tell away!

Yay for eighth grade! New locker, new teachers, hopefully making some new friends, and new problems. Though it's good to learn them now, I suppose. I like school except for one thing, most of my friends have changed, a lot. I just can't say anything around them without making them mad, but hey some people are like that. Just have to take it with a smile and not to heart. Did you Cbers ever have friend drama?

I'm going to SIXTH GRADE!!!

i still can't believe it even though it's nothing compared to True going to high school. My middle school is 7th and 8th grade, so I still have to wait a year for lockers and lots of classes. We have four classes for 5th and 6th grade. ELA, math, science, social studies. For some reason my school doesn't start until after Labor Day, so I stil have...... *counts out loud*  21 DAYS OF SUMMER! Not to brag, but WHOHOOOOO! I love school, but I need a lot of summer sometimes. We just found out our teachers yesterday, and luckily I got the one I wanted. Oh well, that's enough of my blabbing. Good luck at school everyone!

Yeah, I guess I am lonesome. When I asked my Mom if we could join this co-op our used-to-be-church runs, She said no. Why? Theres a two year waiting list. Or possibly three. Either way, that's not an option.

Ninth grade! The year where you're technically in high school (but not exactly, I go to a J High), you still can't drive (I'll take Driver's Ed though), and the classes just get harder and harder! Hooray!

I am truly excited, though. Here's a couple of things:

-Cosplay Club (A thing my friends and I started doing, and now it's an official club! I may or may not be in charge of it.)

-GLOW (Another club. Stands for Gay Lesibian or Whatever. My friends the president, and she convinced a bunch of us to go there. It's really fun, so I'm excited for this year. Ally and proud of it!)

-Art classes throughout the whole year! (With my favorite art teacher!)

-English (I have it with my friends, my writing friends, too. Ahh!)

-Friends

-Working on projects with friends (There's a novel and a podcast I'm especially excited about) 

-Hanging out in the library in the morning (Not sure if I'll be able to for the first two terms, but I'll try...)

-My school supplies (I've already done a couple of drawings with them...)

So that's what I'm excited about!
