Junior High is about awkward moments, new friends, more homework, and fun classes. It's about learning, being young, and creating inside jokes. It's about trying something new and slowly gaining confidence. It's about being a sevie, then stuck in the middle, then the oldest; when grades count. It's about making goals that you try hard to reach, and not freaking out about that one A-. About dances where you are shouting at your dance partner over the loud music, then pretending you heard them. It's about the colorful sharpies that you sign your name with on others' yearbooks. The heavy textbooks you haul around and occasionally lose. It's about the locker filled with pictures of the Eiffel Tower and the com. that you forget about once a week. It's about finding lonely people to sit with out lunch, and bad hair days, and ignoring drama. Trying to understand your 'interesting' teacher and studying your heart out for a test. It's about being surprised about a person you had judged before. Playing in the band, singing in Rhapsody, wearing an Officer jacket, and putting on assemblies. It's about days you wish there was A.C. and days you wish there was a heating system. About hard, fun, and new experiences that get you ready for the real world. Reading books, finishing assignments at 12 am, and trying to stay on the ball. It's about the school some people call 'ghetto', that you love. About realizing new talents, staying after school to type, and coming in early for Geometry help. Junior High is about making memories that will last.
Man, the first day was amazing! I don't have class until 9:30, then I walked over (super easy, short walk) and found my modern class easily. We went over questions and syllabus today so no dancing. I really love the faculty and I'm so glad I got to go to workshops here in high school so I'm a little familiar with the program. Then I had technique 2, and we did one across the floor. The two teachers said "okay, we have some people we want to move up to Tech 3 right now...Golda..." I was so happy! Placement happens throughout the week, but I was so happy to get moved up right away! So now I'm in pointe 3 too. I feel so grateful to be able to dance 9:30 to 2:30 every.day. !!!! I didn't get into my first institute class, so I read all the emails from my missionary friends. Mondays are a whole lot better with those! :) My colloquium class was good, then I met up with my roommate who was hanging out with 2 RMs. We went to play ping pong before another Freshman...
