My First Day of 8th Grade

So today it was my first day of 8th grade, I was eager to go so I could see my friends. But I was nervous too, I was nervous about it, even though we were the upperclassmen. So day started bad.:(

First I woke up too early, I usually get up at 11AM, but for school I had to get up at 6:30, so I got ready and headed off down the street to where the bus picks up the students. I went down to find out they switched the routes, 1st run is 2nd run, and 2nd run is 1st run. So I was late. I missed the bus and was mad. So I got a ride over to the school from my parents. Once I get there I see SOME of my friends. I wanted to see my other ones, but they(friends I saw) don't like my other friends(they don't either -_-) so I didn't see any of them until after first period, because one of them was next to my locker. And then I saw them at lunch, and after school. I even saw my cousin in the 7th grade. But I didn't get to talk too much to anyone. I'm the quietest one in class. I hardly speak, either hand gestures(holding up fingers for a number, or nodding or shaking my head) or just never got noticed. The usual... I didn't get to see my other friends much, since I only get to talk to her after school or on the bus, or before while waiting for the bus. But at the end I saw some of my friends that were in high school that went on the bus. Overall I had a good time. But still, I could have done better, I kind feel quiet inside. I have nothing to say at school, I am silenced. I would like to stop being so quiet... But I can't, it's hard for me. :\ Except when I'm with my friends, I'm kinda loud though, but anywhere else, I'm muted.

Was your day any better? I hope so, mine sucked. Sort of, in the end it got better. I feel better now letting off some steam. :)

Yeah, I've watched enough anime to know that High School was considered Secondary School, and i think it wasn't really free. :\ I wish I was in Japan!

wonder how my first day of school will be?it starts tuesday and im a freashman!!!
 
I'm a sophmore in high school. The first day started off slow and I got to school I saw a few people I knew already and I looked around for my new classes. My least favorite class is English because of my teacher... My freshman English teacher was way better. My new English teacher gives us like 4 pages of work and expects it done in godspeed time. If not, it's homework. I have Geometry, my elective Computer-aided Design (since I plan be a graphic designer), Chemistry (Which will get hella fun after we start experiments) and Economics (which has pretty interesting topics). I didn't talk to many people on the first day but it's gotten better over the past week.
 
hey Alex just wanna give you a bit of advise because it sounds like your exactly the same as i used to be. school starts for me on wednesday by he way (goin into grade 11). from grade 3 to grade 8 i went to a small christian school with only 80 students all together so i knew everyone and everyone knew me. but when i went into high school it was really weird because there were only a few people there i knew that had gone to the same school as me. for a long time i only hung out with the people i knew but later on in ninth grade i learned that i needed to be more outgoing and talkative. so i started making conversation with the people whos sat next to me or near me or even people who had a locker near mine and soon i had more freinds then you could shake a stick at. just wirk on small talk a little more and you'll be fine. and i know how you feel about having your birthday late in the year. mine is november 25 :P (which means i cant get my G1 till then :cry: ) anyways i hope my advice helps. :lol:
 
Thanks people, coming up is the second week of school, and I'm tired already.
My mind is fucking with me, before I could go to sleep at 3AM, and wake up at 12PM-1PM. But now I have to wake up AT FUCKING 5:30! And then get to the bus in time, and wait at school FOR A FUCKING HOUR! I'm annoyed by the stupid school system, I though 1st run was cool. :(
And one of my friend's birthday, is well, coming up so I want to get her something, being one of my best(and few :() friends... but no one helps! :cry: I need to help with something. :(
But everything's pretty much good on the other side.
Except my old friends :glare:
STILL immature people who play pretend. Kinda why I ignore them now. -_- That's why I'm trying to keep my other friends. Life sucks, but you have to suck it up yourself... Learning that... The hard way. :(
