Starting School

 

So when does everybuggy start school? What grades are ya'll going into? I start tomorrow (sigh *waves goodbye to summer and freedom*) and am going into eighth grade. And while we're talking about school, what's everybuggy's favorite part about the start of school? For me, it's seeing all my friends again and not having much homework. :)

I start school today, so I'm probably not supposed to be on here right now. :)

Well, I'm homeschooled, but this September I guess I'm technically starting sixth grade? Also there's a school near where I live and it starts the 8th.

Hi, I would be just starting college now, but I'm home schooled and I don't plan on going to college, at least not anytime soon. Smile

I start today, but only partially. You can tell I don't have much school because I'm on at 11:00 am.

I started Monday the 17th. I did my weeks work of school in 4 days so I got Friday off! (Except for math and reading a little of a book for my book report) I am in 8th grade and my favorite part is....um.....finishing early? The beginning of the year is easy. My mom says we have to finish at 2:00 am. At 4:00 begins getting up the babies from their naps, helping with dinner, setting the table, cleaning, babysitting while my sister gets picked up from school, etc. Not that fun. We're supposed to have a 2 hour break to relax before all of that.

Oh God... thanks for reminding me. I loathe school... ugh.

We luckily don't start until the eighth of September. Gianna and I have come up with several ways to make "sixteen days" sound longer, though- "roughly a month" or "mid-September." Not *quite* true, but good enough...

I'm going into middle school. Sixth grade. We don't change schools, though, because I go to this tiny, tiny, TINY private Catholic school. Our middle school is half of the second floor. :P

And we got summer homework, too. Unjust!

Anyway... ugh.

I started August 19th, but I'm homeschooled so it's

not that big of a deal. ;) And I went into eighth this

year, too. I don't know what my favorite part is, really... :\

I am in ninth grade, but all of my friends are in seventh and eighth grade. Hard sometimes when there's a grade limit on, say, the camp we want to go to together...

I started today. I had math homework because I had to go to band instead of staying for study hall. I got that done, easy.  Was expanded form, stardard form, etc. with decimal. I'm in sixth. Fave part? It varies. This year it was getting back to football. I've played since third grade. Not on a school team, at recess. That would be cool if my elementary had a football team.*sighs*

I start September 3rd. I'm going into 8th grade. (w00t! Finally, we're the rulers of the school. Our school lets 8th graders get away with anything! It's stupid, actually, but should be fun.) We got homeroom assignments yesterday, and I'm in the homeroom I wanted to be in. Fave part of starting school.. seeing people again. The thrill of that wears off fast, though.

I start September 9th and I'm going into 7th grade. I know some of you may be thinking right now that 11 is a bit young for 7th grade but tomorrow (August 26th) I'm turning 12, so..... :)
