Middle School

(Scary title, huh?)
First of all, my deepest apologies for being slightly M.I.A. for the past two days. As it happens, Juju (my cousin), who has been dwelling in Costa Rica, recently appeared here in Minnesota without telling me, so there's my excuse.
Today was the first day of school, as it was for probably about 80% of you alls. As I discovered this morning, my stomach has apparently taken up gymnastics and was utterly spazzing out before school, but fortunately I refrained from puking. Yay for nonpuking.
For the most part, it was a good first day. It was a bit dull, considering that every dang class was pretty much the same thing (i.e. All About Me sheets, course descriptions, yadda yadda.) I didn't really get to know my teachers, but from the limitedness that I saw, they're all pretty (at lack of a better word) good. I have a few friends in my classes, which is also a positive thing, and the many course descriptions I've read today all make my classes sound mediocre, if not better.
After school, however, was rather epyk, as I went to see my utterly favorite and extremely amazing Language Arts teacher from last year, Mrs. Pez (if you're reading this, I apologize for the slightly uncreative name.). I haven't seen her in FOREVER (i.e. 3 months), so our conversation consisted of a large number of "so yeahs"s, but it was mass awesome to see her again.
When I finally returned home, I had CHOCOLATE CAKE (yes!!!) and VEGGIE STRAWS (yes yes!!!) and WATCHED VLOGBROTHERS (yesyesyesyesyes!!!!!!)!!!!!! So all in all, it was a decent day.
Anyways, I also saw a few herds of sixlets today, which inspired me to create
THE OFFICIAL LeNERD GUIDE TO MIDDLE SCHOOL!!!
Yaaaaayyyyy!!!!
1. When walking in the halls, STAY TO THE SIDE. This will help prevent trampling, stampedes, and general chaos involving feet.

              2. DON'T PULL THE NAME SWITCH PRANK. Doing otherwise will tell your teacher that you are a havoc wreaker, which will ensure unideal seating placements, harsher punishments and a biased overall opinion of you.

                                                                  3. DON'T TRUST ANY RUMORS CONCERNING THE PERSONALITIES OF TEACHERS. They are almost never true, and teachers can totally tell if you are being all biased.

                              4. When you get to middle school, everyone will tell you to sign up for co-curricular things so you can "expand your horizons". While it is good to be in after school stuff, MAKE SURE YOUR SCHEDULE IS NOT TOO CROWDED. Seriously, if you sign up for something for every day of the week, middle school might start verging on kinda suckish for you.

                                                   5. STAY CHILL. I guess I've kinda made middle school seem like some defier of the eighth amendment, but it only seems like that if you think it is. It's totally not a big deal, so just keep calm and nerd on.

 

May the Force be ever in your favor.
