Eek! SCHOOL!

[sana]

As many of you know, I am 13 and a student. I had holidays till 14 September. Its gone now! I had my first day at Grade 8. Its was boring, please oh! please pray my second day goes well. Its night here at my place meaning very less hours are left till school! I went today and there were many new teachers, students. Well, the school isn't VERY big, but it still has quite a lot students, 15 in my class, last year there were 20. I got homework. Its was quite easy, but the school is still sick! Its not the type I'd want.
Anyway, the thing I hate the most is that my last year's math teacher...I'M STUCK WITH HER AGAIN! She's been with us for 3 years and its horrible. Right now she has eye infection so she can't come. We don't have an English teacher yet which is awesome news. FREE ENGLISH PERIODS!!! But still, I am very not happy about school. But, still I am feeling happy I didn't become sick on the way to school yesterday. I kept telling everybody, I'M CHILLIN', and in school I found out how much I was chilling. Its not nice. I wanted this year to be perfect, didn't even come near to perfect on the first day. I hope I have a good 8th year...

aw the first days of a new year can be the worst! Hang in there and it will get better as you fit in more and more and find some friends. Take care! (((sana)))

Thanks sirrah, I have a few friends from last year. Almost all my class is my friend. Its sad, many of my friends left. Really miss some.

You can tell them you practice writing and reading in English every day here on Pet Talk! I hope the next few days go better for you! What other subjects are you taking?

[sana]

I have:
English, Maths, Urdu (mother language), Science (Bio, Chem, Physics), History, Geography, Islamiat, Computer, Quran Class, not sure about Arabic, I can't choose which subject I want, that's cause the school's sucky, if I was to choose, I would choose nothing. Other than the studying periods there are, games, art, library. These are the best periods, I have arts tomorrow. There's english which will be free, there's maths, free YAHOO!! tomorrow might be a great day. There are a few more periods and then I'd be back home! Yes! and then I'll try turning on pettalk. maybe I will at night, meaning your morning. I hate school's comes in between family and fun, My father was out of country and I couldn't go to get him because of SCHOOL! I couldn't see the petoftheday at 11 like I always do because of school! ugghhh!!! I can only play computer if I have done homework> I hope they don't give too much homework because I wouldn't be able to play computer.

Learn to enjoy school, and absorb all of the knowledge that you possibly can. Some day, you really will be glad that you did, even tho you don't think so right now. Life really is more than playing games and Pet Talk - it really is!!!

[Karen]

Sounds like you have a full load, in any case. Well, at least you know all of us now, if you ever need help with English homework!

[sana]

haha!! yeah! Karen, I'll ask you guys about my english homework.

Hey, I am a few years older than you.... and I went back on the 3rd of September... the first day is always one of the worst. Like you, some of my friends left and I didn't really know anyone in 3 of my classes, but now I am meeting some new people and it is fine. You should get used to it and feel a bit better about it in a few days once you get used to being back

As for teachers, I had a really bad maths teacher a few years ago (I no longer do maths.. I am in what we call 6th form here, so I only do 4 subjects now) who was quite horrible actually... he made a little 11 year old in one of his classes cry (we were waiting for lesson and saw her run out) and then he laughed about it... but I made it through 2 years with him as my teacher, and I got a good grade at the end of it, so just keep trying and doing the work and you will make it through the year

I hope you don't get too much homework... I have got about 8-9 pieces in the last 2 days (and 7 of which are in for this week... and they include essays and pieces which take a really long time).... when I was your age, I got a lot less homework than I do now, so enjoy it while you can

If you need any help with geography or biology at all in the future, I might be able to help.. they are 2 of the subjects I chose to carry on at 6th form

[sana]

Thanks Whisk Luva! How old are? Anyway, I'd really like help in geography, haven't had any class yet, I think I have one tomorrow. The good thing is that even if I don't have any friends in this class I will always have a good cousin. My cousin and I are in the same grade. She lives across the street, we go and come back from school together.
Thank God! God made me a girl who was independent from birth. really never needed a playing companion when I was young. I didn't need my mom to play with me so I am usually able to go through a school year without a friend, Thank God! I'll be able to manage even if I don't have a friend. But still, cousin's rock! The one thing good about this school is that there is a policy that only 3 homeworks can be given in one day and the bad thing is that one teacher can give a homework for at least 1/2 which is bad because the teachers can make an excuse if they have given a lot of homework. the excuse is that we can do it in no time. That's what she thinks and so she gives a lot of homework. She can do it in no time but I can't!
Well, do pray I have a good day tomorrow! Thanks guys or gals!
Bye, its good night here. Its night here meaning I have to go to bed and get up early tomorrow to go to school!
Bye! Sana

Great news, tomorrow, I have Arts, Urdu, English and Q.Class and Islamiat. That's it! YAHOO!! As you know I have no English teacher, so free! My Q.Class teacher is the Vice principal you can say or head mistress. So she might be a little late. So I hope it'll be a good day tomorrow. It's gonna be a little free tomorrow. Two english periods down the hatchet and add about ten mins because my teacher would be busy. So in conclusion, tomorrow we will have about 1 1/2 hour free! YAHOO!!!

[Karen]

Okay, but still, get some rest so you can do well in the classes you do have! Hey, one good geography project would be taking a world map and marking all the places you know Pet Talk people from!

[sana]

Yeah, I sure will. Aussies would remind me of Wom and Newton, MA, USA, duh! you! Well, good night, see ya all tomorrow! Bye!

[Alysser]

I'm assuming that'd be 8th grade in America, so you only really have 4/5 years left in school. I hope you enjoy 8th grade though, it was awful for me but I do hope you like it. School is just school, I don't think many kids like it. lol. Good luck!

I am so glad I am getting out of public school this year!

[sana]

going to school! wish me luck! and please do pray!
