MMS- The Best! :D
I don't know the last time I posted, but I'm guessing its been a LONG time. So, I've recently (Sorta, I started in late August... it's Christmas Eve tomorrow...) started middle school and McKamy. It's really fun!!! So much funner (so what if 'funner' isn't a word? Who actually listens to the dictionary any more? That's sooo 2007!!;]) than elementary school, but you know I love you Liberty Elem.!! I love how we're treated more independently, more grown uppy, and best of all- MORE PEOPLE!!!! Most of the kids at Liberty were real nice and everything, but I've been with them for 5 stinkin' years! Sure, some kids left, and new ones replaced them, but then came another year, and another and another, and I could tell you how many people were in my grade by about now last year. Seriously. I volunteered to staple and hammer the Outdoor School packets during study hall and I had to count every... single... packet.... But it was fun!!! But now, about 300 more students is like a breath of fresh air, and I mean a big breath! I've already made a ton of friends! Ok, maybe I've made an exageration: 'Already' is a little small. ;) After all, the school year is half over!!!! But the homework is... a lot heavier. Like, a lot. I didn't really get why Aidan had to stay up til 10 or maybe 11 each night doing HW, but now... oy- I'm doing it too! I had to stay up until 11:30PM writing a newspaper article for Reading. That's what I get for being absent, I suppose.Grrrr... But don't get me wrong, reading is one of my favorite classes! My favorite is English, then Choir, then Study Skills, Reading, PE, World Geography, Science then Math. I love all classes but I'm more of a 'Literature/Music/Let's-move-around!' kind of girl then 'lets-talk-about-things-our-teacher-expects-us-to-remember-by-the-quiz-on-Thursday' kind of girl. I mean seriously! Do they expect us to remember the entire arrangement of a continent and what percentage of the countries speak what language, practice what religion, and have what kind of government/economy. And then memorize what kind of planet has which kind of surface and how many 'kilometers' (darn that metric system! You keep on messin' me up in science!) each planet is from the sun, and then remeber every single fraction into a percent, percent into decimal, decimal into fraction, and percent into fraction and decimal to percent!! All in about less than 1 month, if you put it together. And then, they expect us to ace a quiz on it. Ok, well maybe they don't expect us to... but you know what I mean. And those are just the harder (to me) classes. But I take 2 PAP (Pre AP. I don't know what the AP stands for...;]) classes. Reading and English!! It's really fun because everyone in our English class is in our Reading class, except for Clara, who gets replaced by Sigh... But anyways! Enough about me! Let me hear about you! Comment please!! :)
