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. :)

But I know one or three people younger than me. And one of my friends is turning 15 Sept 2(in 8th grade too :O) and she's still SHORTER than me, and I thought I was short before I met her. :P

B-) None of them are really mean, only one gave us homework. And all I have to do is some kindergarden project, write my name and decorate it. :O
 
Put it this way, the sooner you communicate with others, the easier it'll be to make good friends with other people in the long run . Sometimes you're going to have to be the one to start a conversation rather than waiting for others to do the same. Other than that things should get better for you once you've settled. :)
 
write in your agenda
dont loosen up to your teachers they arent nice and cool later on they wont care if your projects/homework is stacked
if you have pe strip/clothes remember to lock your locker or people will piss on them :(

dont play a mmorpg game on school days only weekends after you finished your homework... iunno it really was a mistake for me to be playing maplestory before.. really messed up alot for myself
 
Thanks for the advice, but what I don't like about the school, is that it's the same everywhere. Stupid wannabes, fags pushing you around like it was an accident. I don't like to fight really, but if I have to, I will.

And yeah, everything didn't change, except my friends... :( But still, it's okay, everyone is there, two fo my friends said they were leaving, but still came back. :D That's what I like. I'm glad now. :D

Same with me, I am not ready yet for it. Its gunna blow ass.
 
Mine started today...Sorry to hear about your troubles. I had a lot of my own...One being I was supposed to go to a technical school for computer programming for half a day all year, and apparently I can't now, and I have to get my schedule changed around where I probably won't see any of my friends. I'm considering doing cyber school, since my mom doesn't want me to go through the same exact thing, and same schedule again this year (I failed last year due to too many absences).
 
You're just like a guy in my old class, still don't know if he's in my class this year as school hasn't started yet.

His name is also Alex, and he's the quietest person I've ever met. He doesn't like to talk much and doesn't get noticed a lot. When he smiles you can see that he hides, as if he's shy.

Hope things work out better for you.
 
My first day of school:
Got up @ 7 am
Ate @ 8 am
Started school @ 9 am
Finished @ 12 am
Played video games,surfed the internet and read for the rest of the day
(Homeschooled)
 
Ah... I'm in 8th grade too! Though it was kind of boring since I'm on the same team(Delphi... TRAUMA CENTER!) with all of the same teachers except for English. Usually the same old speech they have to say in front of you. And I don't really like my math teacher as if you need help on any part, you pretty much HAVE to go you tutoring. She normally just tells you to go away, though I may be exaggerating it a bit. And then we have a brand new period called advisory which is supposed to be time where we get help so five minutes were cut off from each of our other periods this year.

Apparently, we weren't done with buying supplies either. I have to go buy a binder for band, Spanish, and Gateway to Tech.
 
woah. u guys start school in august?
@alex: u think u got it bad? ur starting gr.8 this year, i'm starting university.

i'm so friggen scared, but excited. any tips from ppl currently in uni? my first day is sep.3, but frosh is tmr haha.
 
:) you'll meet people. Trust me, I know a lot of people but I tend to stay quiet not to bother anyone. I'm a little depressed to start school seeing that my best friend moved 80 miles away and now I really don't have anyone to talk to who doesn't rip on me all day long. :( oh well... I'll just wait out the days.

I hope I get the bus time right tomorrow and not have to wait for like an hour. :\

Yeah, our Pre-AP Algebra 1 teacher will hunt us down to finish our work. >.> Even in lunch, after school, before, or anytime almost. But he's not bad, that's only if you don't finish something. :)
