yeah, my school doesn't have an elevator either! But some horrible people were selling incoming freshmen books that are discontinued for next year! Isn't that awful? No conscience!
To answer your question aliasgurl, middle school wasn't that much different. And this is coming from a girl who went from K-8 to high school. The only thing is there are more people... and this means more people to "impress". I learned to accept the fact that there are always going to be those few people that are high on their own ego fumes.
I think another huge difference between the 8th to 9th transition is how much louder I've become. :lol: Sounds funny, but it's true. I've become a lot more confident these past two years of high school. I think finding people that make me feel good about myself is what made me the bullhorn I am today.
Oh! I almost forgot. Homework. Freshman year I thought, 'Oh, this is so easy! I'm never going to have homework!!' Well, I was wrong...this year came around, and wham-bam-thank you ma'am...my first actual taking-home-of-the-books experience in years. And when I heard "Finals" uttered from the mouths of the upperclassmen... boy, the way they made it sound- I wanted to head for the hills!
But trust me, there's no need to become a cavewoman, high school is just a bunch of middle schools together in one place with teachers from hell.
Wow, long explanation. Ya know-- just showin' off my upperclassmen swank. Ya baby!
