we are about 4 weeks into school and my first year as a eighth grader. while how i had expected 8th grade to be near impossible it actually turned out pt not be so bad. the homework was the thing i was most concerned about but the homework load so far has not been much although i know it will get worse later in the year, also this is not a reason to give me more homework. also the only class i am having trouble in is lit, the quizzes are much different from my 7th grade teacher's quizzes. last year the quizzes where much more literal than this year where they include questions about symbols and quotes. i think overall that 8th grade has met my expectations in some areas but in others it fell a bit short.
socially 8th grade isn't much different from the 7th grade social system, all of the people who play sports hang out on the green while others are inside playing on the computers. i belong to the latter spending much of my lunch at robotics club unlike the stereotypical geek i have plenty of friends that are not in robotics club. some intimidating figures from last year still exist such as john but not in a bad way since he is one of my friends. i have pretty much gotten to know most of the people from last year and the "7th grade i have to get a lot of friends" period has ended. also i already know a lot of the 7th graders.
i think that i have presented my self as a leader for some of the more unusual 7th graders such as Dylan and Houston. i like being like this since i don't want people to feel like they are the only hyper one in the junior high which they certainly aren't.i dont think that i am a good leader for many of the other people since i only play ultimate and normally the way the leadership is formed is in sports.
