Word of the day: Disappointment

We all knew at some point that it was going to happen. Grade 8. High school. Eek! It came basically with no surprise. The first few days will be exciting-today was pretty exhilarating. But soon, disaster will strike: We'll all get "used" to high school, and school will once again be a bottomless pit of...-maybe that's a little much. School will be boring, that's all.

Today was new to all of us Gr 8s, today was a day to examine our Day 2 teachers. Although most of the examining is done inside our heads, we're all probably thinking the same questions when meeting our teachers...even if we don't share our observations with others. Questions like "Will this teacher be nice?" or "Does this teacher mark hard?" or even "Should i transfer out of this class immediately or wait and see what happens?" Unfortunately, MYers (Middle Year students) can't ask that last question, well we could, but we could never transfer out...- All our teachers are nice, why would we? ^-^

The classes today mainly consisted of "new class" lectures. Lectures that are supposed to make us understand the expectations of each class, but to tell the truth: all the lectures sound exactly the same to me. Hehe. Anyways, one lecture stood out. MY English 8. Maybe it's just because i love writing a lot or maybe it was because i was constantly distracted by the novels...Still, it stood out. The lecture wasn't all that long, mostly it was giving us homework. I guess Ms. G expected us to know the expectations already so there was no need. Then again...i think she did tell us about the expectations...but i guess i wasn't paying as much attention as i thought i was (i was probably thinking about all the wonderful things i would be able to write-not that a blog isn't a wonderful thing to write ^^;)

Anyways the WotD (Word of the Day) came into my day after school. I was originally going to join field hockey...but all my friends abandoned me (well, i guess it's not their fault i was too afraid to go alone) and i couldn't make myself go to the meeting. *sigh* i could've...

It doesn't matter anymore though. I'm home in front of my computer and I'm happy writing. Although since I'm writing on this blog...nostalgia overwhelms me. I haven't written a blog for a while...well at least not here.

Sayonara!
