Life...Friends...New Kids...Skidaway...and the Pursuit of Happiness

It seems as though as soon as the year winds down everyone gets in place and used to it. It is like as soon as everyone starts to get along the year is over. Next year we will more than likely have a new person, so what I have heard. That is the only thing I hate about new people, you have to get use to them. Our class until the middle of this year had not had a new kid in while and we all knew each other very well. On the other hand, I like new people it gives you a shake up. I am glad our class is getting along so well. It makes things so much easier. Well I say we are getting along, let me rephrase that I THINK we are getting along. I have made news friends and started being more friendly to others. I have found that a lot of friends are great. You still need a couple of real close ones though. Sometimes if your around someone all the time you start to get one each others nerves. That's when a lot of friends are great. I really have no problem with anyone in my class. I consider all of them my friends. That's the way I am most of the time. I am not one of those people that a lot of things get on my nerves so I can get along with almost anyone if they are willing. If a person does get on my nerves I usually just keep my cool and don't say anything. If I do get mad I am mad. But it is hard for me to get real mad with most people. I also learned not to suddenly let out your anger in a drastic way without sleeping on it. New people probably have time getting use to our class. Sure we are nice and we get along or seem to. What is hard for a new person is to find their place in our class. Everyone can find a place in time. I want to see if the new people are good kids. Then I like them. I am always as helpful as I can be to new people but it is hard to tell them the whole class history. I wish I could but there is not enough hours in a day. But again seeing are class back to getting along is awesome. I hope it stays that way. Just in time for Skidaway which by the way I can not wait for. Hmmm..........wander wonder who I will room with. I wish Mrs. Riggins would hurry and choose groups. I personally do not care but I know some people that do.

You Know It!!!

Tomorrow is Field Day and I can not wait. It will be fun to get out of class and play around. My class has never really been the type that wins Field Day, in fact I do not think we ever have. It is okay though. I think that we have fun and that's all that matters. Some people on the other hand are VERY competitive. If they lose they get mad and I know that's no fun. It ruins it. Everyone should just make tomorrow a happy memory. No one wants to feel bad later about getting all upset because we did not win the pyramid or kickball. I think I would feel bad if I ruined Field Day by getting upset. I mean what does winning Field Day even accomplish except winning. I guess it is a good felling though. I hope that tomorrow no one get TOO competitive. It would be nice to win though. You never know this may be our year. Everyone has a equal chance. That's another thing NO ONE can predict the future. So no one knows that they are going to win because they have so and so. Even if you practice, you only do the event once so one mistake and you mess up everything. You have to have skill and luck to win. Everyone should have fun tomorrow. Good luck to you all!!!!

A Life of Tommorows

This year is almost over. I am glad. I am sure most everyone is. Today I was thinking about school almost being over and I thought about something. I am almost in the 8TH GRADE. WOW! My life goes by so fast. Even though everyone keeps wanting and wanting the year over with, it being over does not really mean anything. What IS the big deal about it being over? Yes, it does mean summer will be here. But another year will soon start. Then everyone will want that to be over with. But every year is a year gone. They never change. They will go by until I graduate, then to college, then in my career. Time never stops. Why does everyone want a day, week, month, or year over with there will just be another one. Sometimes I think that I am wasting my life. It seems like I am not making my life much of importance. When a year goes by you can never get back. One more year until High School, three until I drive, five until Graduation, the list keeps on going. But why look forward to something so much that you miss right know? Chances are if you are like that to that event when that one comes you will only look forward to the next one and not take in this one. I wonder when I am old and remembering my life what I will remember. Will I remember the 7th grade? That is what scares me am I making enough of my life. Life keeps going on until death. It seems like a lot of people fear death, many do not want to die. I mean who does. But it is funny people keep wanting time go to an event later in their life closer to their death. It is like they want to get closer to dieing. After you die some people will go to heaven. That is the best ever. But you do not go around hearing many people saying "I can not wait to die" on a regular bases like you hear "I can not wait for summer."
