First Week of School. . .

Lol, more like the first MONTH!!! I'm soooo sorry I haven't posted since September 9, to be exact. GOSH! There is so much to tell! I'm gonna make it super short (actually I don't how long it will be - so bear with me!) so yeah. . . here it goes. I'm going to a new school, Jefferson. One word. Awesome. It is way better compared to my other school Reach. If you go back to like last year in September it probably has me saying: "OMG! Reach is awesome!" and "School is great!" and "This will be the best year!" Boy, was I wrong!!!! I think I already published (or told!) you how much 6th grade was like the worst one for me. It's only 6th grade!! Think about high school. . . I'm scared!

There is over 1000 kids at our school! My old school only had about 120 :P so this is a HUGE jump for me!! I love actually having locks on my lockers, again my old school didn't and thats been sorta fun, and they actually treat us like we're in middle school instead of elementary (my old school acted as if we were like 3rd graders but then gave us PILES of hw and we took an australian test, the MEAP {michigan educataion assessment program}, MAP 3x a year, a florida test and some other one that I have no idea what its called!) I love my new school!!! I've already made a bunch of friends but I sit at lunch with my 8th grade friends!

And. . .  guess what??? I'm doing dance again!!! This time a hip hop class (it's soooo much fun!) and then my parents made me go into this acro/stretch class because I need to stretch and cuz im soooooooooo not flexible! Those are on Thursdays and it was soo hard and now I'm all sore and stuff. . . anyway I'm so excited! Omg!!! I totally forgot! I made the volleyball team!!! We practice everyday and I'm loving it!!! I'm learning tons of stuff too! We are practicing at the high school since my middle school is under construction (unfortunately just part of it so we still have school :(. . .) and we have or own lockers and everything at the high school! After school I just walk to the high school since its like 15 sec away (driving wise-about 5-8 min to walk).

For volleyball, we are working on our "bump, set, spike" routine so when we get to high school we will already be comfortable and good at it! I'm more of a "spiker" and my overhand serves stink! BUT!!! . . .  I've been working on them a bunch and (thanks to my dad!) I've been making it over a few times!! YES!!! Anyways. . .

Back to school!!!! My classes are good, I love most of my teachers and I've navigated through the WAY bigger hallways than Reach ever had. I'm just so happy that I'm at a "real" middle school with 10 times more people and 100 times more fun!!!! This school is great!!! (watch me at the end of the school year, eat up my words like last year!)

 It's almost Halloween!!! I'm soo excited but I still don't know what to be!!! I was thinking Katniss Everdeen from the trilogy: The Hunger Games (Best books EVER!!! READ THEM!!!). But since a lot of people don't know about it. . . I'm going to be her next year when the first movie comes out sometime in March. I'm sooo excited!!! Lol so, PLEASE comment about ANY ideas you might have for a COSTUME!!!! I don't really care if they're "bad" but I just need SOMETHING cause I'm lost! Ok. . . bye!!!


P.S. I said I was gonna make this SUPER SHORT. I lied. ;)
