Okay, here’s the long, in-depth post that you’ve been waiting for. School has been pretty good so far!
That is, there hasn’t been any homework yet.
When we came in for homeroom/humanities for the first day with Ms. Burnett all of the chairs and tables were piled upside down and crazy with different-colored strings tied all around them. Apparently we had to break up into groups and get one color string of as fast as we could without breaking it. It was pretty fun for doing teamwork and everything.
When we went in for Math Mr. Gotel (the math teacher) he gave a sort of speech of what he expects from us and that if we do the work then the Math A Regions big huge test thing at the end of 8th grade would be easy. Then he remarked that he had took the bus last year and “knew the deal” and that what many kids did started with a “C”. It just so happens that I take that bus and you might say that some kids ask for help from other kids with their math homework on the way to school. At the end of his speech a few kids clapped and said that it was a very good speech.
Then there was Science with Ms. Nowak. The first thing we did was learn all about the nature of hurricanes. All about them from drafts of cool air in Africa the devestating the United States. Apparently Hurricane Katrina had an eye that was about 40 miles in diameter…………………… ANYWAY……………
Next we had health and guess what we talke about? Hurricane Katrina and the diseases that spread through the water and all of that bad stuff. My brain is hurting now…… lets talk about something more interesting:
Well….. I finally convinced my Mom to create and account on iTunes. Now I can download songs from the biggest music store on the internet. Pretty cool if you think about it. There are also podcasts which are awesome. Grandma and Grandpa, click on the word “podcasts” to find out what it means.
And last but not least……. An incredibly addictive yet stupid game:

Mom is ADDICTED to it. I mean seriously… half the time she’s doing this instead of work….. and it is fun, so give it a try!

It’s not HALF the time — maybe a quarter of the time.
