Wow. I cannot believe. Halfway through middle school? I don’t know what to think of it. Is it good? Bad? Yeah, it’s kind of good, but is it good enough not to be bad? I don’t know!
I have to move on from that specific subject at this time.
The first half of middle school has been above and beyond what I expected it to be. I thought it would be great and everything, but not this much. For about the first four or five months of 6th grade I was…how do I say this…well.. I was in Lala Land. I really was. It’s hard to explain. I was was, though. It was fun for the time being, but to tell you the truth, Earth is sooo much more enjoyable! I’d pick Earth any time. While I was in my own little world, I saw people and things, but I didn’t look at any of them. Then, one day I was just sitting there in class before school started and all of a sudden I could actually look at everything. I had no idea why this was happening, but I was glad. Since that morning school has been getting better with every passing day (literally). So, yeah, I’ve had a great time for the first half of middle school.

P.S. I know that what I just said may have been confusing…but it’s true…I’m still confused, too.

I love seventh grade so much more then sixth grade (besides you Mr. Madden). I do think sixth grade is the hardest, because you have to get to know all the rules, how the day goes, and the whole changing classes too! I know myself that the whloe rotating classes threw me off.
I think the reason I like 7th grade more, is because of the “type” of things we are learning about. I LOVE the human body! (it’s what we are studying in science right now) It always seems to facinate me! I know already that I might want to be a pediatrician when I grow up. (I already had my mind set on that before the 7th grade.)
As for math, I still am not the best, but the atmosphere of Mrs. Mulder’s room is so enjoyable. M&M’s everywhere you look!
My goal, would be to really try hard in math. To take my time and not rush. Because that is what’s always getting me bad grades.
I will be taking it one day at a time, just like everyone else.

I really enjoy 7th grade and I would have to say yes, I do like it more than 6th grade!!! I feel like I’m getting more out of this year than last year. Kind of like Kaitlyn, I was in lala land all of 6th grade and didn’t really do that good last year. Last year it was so hard to get in the swing of things like changing classes, lockers, and getting used to all the new rules. This year everything is a breeze because I’m used to it. I hope the rest of the year gose as smoothly as the first half!!!!!!

I think that I am getting more out of 7th grade than 6th grade. I think one of the reasons why is because most of the time we actually have to think about what were doing because it’s more complicated. Not that 6th grade wasn’t but the teachers couldn’t really assign us super hard stuff becasue we would go into overload. It’s kinda sad for me to think that 7th grade is 1/2 over becasue it has been awesome. So I like to think that we still have 1/2 more time to go.
I think another reason why I am so happy with this year is because my basketball team is doing pretty good, and even when we lose i still feel good, sorta, becasue I am a part of somthing that we have to work for.
