Grade 9 Report

Grade 9 Report

Grade 9 has already started for 20 days. It hasn’t felt long or particularly short. After a happy summer which I don’t recall doing anything important right at this moment (except for Yellowstone), I was not ready for school to start. Maybe I was, but I definitely was not willing. Yeah yeah, I have friends and I couldn’t wait to hang out with them full day-5 days, but the “getting up early” and “taking the bus” thing didn’t sound at all pleasing to me, to be honest.

Honestly, I have no clue what I am about to write in this blog. But… Anyways, it has already been awhile since school started, so I can say I’m getting used to it pretty well. This year’s classes are amazing. I have at least my friend I can chit-chat with in every class. I love this year’s courses. I’m doing Band and Art for electives and French for language. Nothing special. Nothing different from last year. I joined choir this year. I’m doing Intermediate Chamber Choir and jazz choir with “not class time”. I have to wake up one hour earlier than usual to do Intermediate Chamber Choir twice a week, and jazz choir is just at lunch every Friday. I love Intermediate Choir. It is so much fun and I just love to sing (though I suck)! It probably is also because it is for credit. Though I have only been to “practices” twice since school started, I already love it and am able to participate confidently now. I also joined Round Square, a small organization in school, but a pretty big organization in the world. Through Round Square, I signed up to go to We Day, and I was selected to go! So, this is coming up in less than a month, and I already can’t wait (though I have no idea what the real point of the whole #concert/celebrity/songs event etc. In the beginning of October, I will be volunteering at the West Vancouver Community Center for the PumpkinFest Event. I have never been in the event, let aside volunteering there before. I was too lazy to go last year, but I desperately want some service hours. So, why not? My friends are doing it, my sister’s probably going there too, so I guess I’ll show up as well. I’m looking forward to my service hours! Oh, I got School Colors today. It’s like a reward for the students who got honors for academics: Straight A’s, except for 1 grade no lower than B is allowed to get this award. Well, I got it! No middle school student in my house except for me, got it! :D So proud, but praise the Lord. I have to leave for the first volleyball game this year in ten minutes. Oh right, I totally forgot about volleyball. I went to two out of three try-outs, and I got in (though only 4-5 people got cut)! Yay! Praise the Lord again. I suck big time and I still got in! Now, I’m like one of the worst players on the teams. There are so many practices in the morning and afternoons. So tiring. Right now, I’m almost freaking out because of the game. I’ll feel so bad if I miss a easy ball or mess up a easy pass or fail my simple underhand serve. Hah, I don’t know why I’m worrying. I’m probably not gonna be put on the court a lot anyways. Well, either way, Lord Jesus, I am weak, and help me out a bit please? “For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power, and of love, and of sobermindedness. Amen.

Umm, anyways, there’s a lot going on lately, and it’s been tiring but fun. I’m ready for another happy and successful school year!
