Surprised

Since it is just the second full week of school I'll write about how it is going so far. That answer would be surprised. This year I have found myself surprised about everything. The first thing that surprised me right off was that everyone is getting along way better than I thought. To tell you the truth starting this school year I had no idea about who my friends were. The first say hour or so of school I could tell who was going to "hang out" together. I was very happy at what I saw. The one thing that stuck out was Alya, Kristin, Cameron, Riki, and I were getting along great. I had been wanting to be friends with Kristin, Ayla, and Cameron for most of last year, but they seemed very tight nit and didn't really like Riki and I sitting with them. Also, we all usually couldn't get along. This year it just all fell in place and it seems we have all been friends for years. Of course that's not all my friends Jordan, Gayla, and Lauren are great to sit with to:I was just extremely surprised about the other three. Anyway that's going great and that makes life that much easier. Another surprising thing is 8th grade, as far as classes go, is very different. I was not expecting so many changes 6th and 7th grade were so much the same I assumed 8th would be the like that. I think I was wrong. It is the same in some ways of what to expect but the work is just different. It is a lot more challenging, but I guess that is to get us ready for high school. I am glad they are doing it though because I'm use to them and if they get us ready it will be better than teachers you don't even know. I am sure when I do go to high school that it will be a lot harder than this though. Also, I'm not use to doing school work from such a long summer once I get use to it all it will probably become a routine. The new kids Heaven and Alex are also surprising in a good way. They are both really cool kids and I'm glad the came to FRA. I was kind of worried about them coming for a while but now I'm glad they came. Both of them are very nice so far which for me is surprising. I was expecting two kids that were going to make everything totally different and be very mean, but they didn't and they aren't. Neither of them seem as if they were new but as if they had been here for a while. I hope they feel the same way. AR has been surprisingly easy and fun. I think I like to read.(for now anyway) I am also surprised that I am liking cheerleading which I thought I wasn't. Sometimes I hate it because it seems pointless because everyone else thinks it is. Believe it or not it is hard work you know. If you don't believe me then try it. Sometimes I get tired of people making fun of cheerleading; that's when it all seems pointless all that work for people making fun of you. This year it seems surprisingly point full I don't know why because it is just like every year but it does. One more surprising thing is how 8th grade doesn't feel so seniority like, like people say. At least to me. I don't think the 6th graders feel as scared as I was of the 8th graders when I was is 6th grade. I think our class is losers. I'm just kidding. I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing, the 6th graders not being scared. It could be good because it might make their year easier. It could be bad because then 8th grade wouldn't be different which would mean they might start being mean to us. That would be crazy. Maybe, 8th graders feel the same thing and I just don't see the seniority. Another thing I don't even know half the 6th grade. I did last year because my brother is in that class but there are so many new kid (13 I think ) that I feel overwhelmed with all the faces I don't know in the hall. With brings me to yet another surprising thing. I forgot how bad the halls were. I remembered Aug 16, I think they got worse. Sometimes I'll be standing in the hall with some 8th graders trying to go to one class and some 6th or 7th graders trying to go to another class and we will meet in the middle and no one moves because we get stuck. I think this is crazy and we will just stand there until someone realizes that someones got to move. But any way my last surprising thing is how easy it was to write this blog and how good it feels after writing it. I'm not sure if this is what I'm suppose to be doing or even if it sounds great and I really don't care. This is the first blog that I didn't have to think and think about what to write and the first one I actually felt good about after I wrote. I don't even no why. Anyway I'm surprised that I wrote a blog that I had no idea what I was writing about when I started and how long it is and how short it seemed to write it.
