It's that time of year... school starts! ugh! Whenever this time of year comes around, we kids shout "head for the hills! The teachers are coming!" I was heading for the hills, but the teachers caught me and now I have to go to school. Perfect (note the sarcastic font)
Well, I might as well tell you about my school days. My Jr. High has a weird schedule that consists of "A" and "B" days. So instead of 7 classes, we now have 9. (see? That's why we head for the hills!) being in 8th grade, I get to Choose 4 classes, and 4 back-ups in case they have too many kids signing up for one class. I chose Orchestra, Art, French, and technology. I got Orchestra, 3-D design, French 2, and technology. Not exactly my favorite schedule.
This is my schedule with a couple of comments.
1st period:Orchestra. This is a fun class, but all (and I mean all) of the 7th graders play off tune. SCREEEEEECH! Would you like to hear that for 80 minutes? Neither do I! But I still do!
2nd Period:Science. This is like your basic average science class, except the teacher is a LOUD GENIUS! Goodness! Surprisingly, it is kind of soothing after the screech of the sevies.
Lunch. Let me put a picture in your head. Imagine that you have a lovely 2nd period (not likely, but we're imagining) and you come out and, after 5 tries, get your stubborn locker open. There. Your stuff is in there. Now you walk to the lunchroom, and find the lunch line a mile long! you wait 20 minutes, and find that they are all out of the stuff that actually looks like what it was supposed to be! You grab your mac and Cheese (or whatever it is) and you sit down. Your friends are the loudest bunch there! So you sit there and drink your food (or gnaw on) for half an hour. That's my average lunch.
4th Period:History. This is a better class. It is my favorite. The teacher is funny, and we learn really neat stuff. And we make fun of the Cheerleaders. (have you ever seen their flag salute? Why do they always go so slowly while doing those unnecessary moves?)
THE NEXT DAY
5th Period:Algebra. BORING!!!! The teacher is one of those people who can't make up their minds! She treats us like little children, but expects us to know what she's talking about.
"Now, because you little sweeties are soooo smart, we really can skip a couple of steps in this problem". No we Can't!!!! And she makes us show the work. Let me ask you, how can we do that if we don't even know what to do?!?
6th Period: 3-D Design. This class gives me a headache! It smells bad, the students are extremely loud, and I am always getting cut or painted on of something else. I come out with new battle scars every time I walk in there!
7th Period: Technology. This class should be interesting, but because of the stupid kids(there! I said it!) It isn't my favorite class. We get to make wooden cars and make rockets and other things, but it is never any fun. :(
8th Period: French 2. This class is pretty much a good class, except when she makes us translate entire paragraphs!
9th Period/Study Hall. I have this every day. We get 15 minutes of quiet time, and 15 minutes to talk to our neighbors. My translation: 15 minutes of heaven, and 15 minutes of torture. My class' translation: 15 minutes of dull reading and 15 minutes of "screaming contest!".
This is why next year, i'm gonne run REALLY fast when heading for the hills. It is really hard to let go of summer vacation.

Horrible Haikus
Hello all! I have nothing to report, so I am just going to recite (or whatever I do on the computer) some haikus I wrote. Just to clue you in, a haiku is a Japanese form of poetry. It is all un-rhyming. There are three lines in a haiku. The first line has five syllables, the second has seven and the third has five.
I have to tell you, though. The reason I thought up these haikus was because I wanted to use my dad's lap top. He said no and told me to use another computer. My mom suggested " Do something else, like... write a haiku!" So I did. I wrote several. If they are boring, stop reading them and throw your computer out the window onto some unsuspecting cat. Cruel, yes, but you must do it because then you wont be thinking about those horrible haikus, you'll be thinking about your computer... and the cat.
So, as I promised, Here they are:
#1 No lap tops allowed
for my lovely self to use
that is just not fair!
#2 A haiku is a
form of pretty poetry...
give me Mother Goose
#3 My feet really stink
They need some deodorant
Right now would be nice
#4 School is real boring
Math, English, Social Studies
The teachers scare me
#5 Life is annoying
I share a room and also
I get sick a lot
#6 I don't feel happy
I guess I should feel real glad
that I have so much
#7 Life is frightening
My siblings really scare me
with all their actions
#8 Sibling 1 is weird
She has a really thick head
Nothing is in there
Wow! You read all the way through them! Now you can relax, buy a new computer and pay that cat's doctor bill. Ahhhhh.... The pure joy of life! Well, that's all I have today, but I hope to write more exciting things in the near future! Adieu.
