HEADS-UP! (:

As you should know, the first day of school was Tuesday, September 7th. But, our school works a little differently, so the first day of actual classes were Monda, September 13th. The first week is something we call "Harmony Week". To be honest, it benefits mostly the grade 7s. We basically don't do much schoolwork, just meet our teachers, get accustomed to the school, and the classes, and the class, and the people. We have a few assemblies that explain the expectations for the year and all that information. And we just basically get used to the school, for a week (or 4 days really), before we kick into study mode.

I find it nice to be able to relax, and just get used to waking up early in the morning, and all that regular school stuff for a week, without stressing over schoolwork just yet. But that's why once the classes really start, it gets insane! It's definitely hectic.

Oh, and the reason I find it mostly benefits the grade 7s, is because we grade 8s already know the school, we've been there, done that. We've gone through the assemblies, and we know the expectations, how our schedule, and the classes work. We know who the teachers are, how they mark, what they expect and where the classes themselves are. We already know all the people in our class, because we practically know our whole grade just from last year. Now, don't worry I won't complain! (; .

I like that we can just keep it cool for a week. I'm just saying, that even though our assemblies are seperate, and different, because grade 7 and grade 8, even if they are only a year apart, are two VERY different years. It gets boring from time to time, because we still have places to be and things to go over and a whole bunch of other stuff, so we can't just catch up with friends, and hang out and have fun, but not doing any actual work gets boring. Although, it's okay! Now that the week has started, I seriously appreciate the harmony week! It's pretty uptight again now...

Aha, now back to my point. It's only been a week, and I've only attended school from Monday to Wednesday, because of my foot injury, I couldn't walk. But, I managed to catch up because I visited the school to collect my homework. Well, let's just say I've got piles & piles of homework, it's only been the first week! If it continues at this rate, and keeps piling up some more, which it will obviously, because we're going to be learning more and more material, then being up to date with my life through this blog will be slightly complicated.

Of course though, I will be trying to let you guys know what's going on in my life, and I will keep blogging. But, I just thought I should warn you, on this Sunday, before the torture begins again in a matter of hours, what will probably be happening.

I VERY HOPEFULLY will get back to you soon? xoxo.
