<p>I can’t wait! I’m probably supposed to be nervous, but I’m not at all. I feel more prepared than I thought I’d be, so I don’t really think I have anything to worry about, for the most part. But yeah, I’m really excited!</p>
<p>The only things I’m dreading are those icebreaker games some teachers make you do to get to know each other. I hate those. :/</p>
<p>First day was pretty good, tgough i didnt have any classes with my “closer” friends. I got lost going to Biology but I figured it out. And a couple of my classes are Senior/Junior filled, or really small in size</p>
<p>Do you guys think i should do band. We had some summer practices and i hate them and hate,playing my instrument. Its either band or some easy classes like foods and computers?</p>
<p>If you really can’t stand band, then don’t do it. Entering high school, I quit orchestra because I really didn’t like it. So that will probably bite me in the butt, but (no pun intended lol) whatever. I guess my TV production class could be considered an easy class but it’s interesting so I don’t really care.</p>
<p>My rule of thumb is to not be stuck in a class you hate, if you can help It</p>
<p>I would give it a try for a couple of weeks; then, if you really hate it, do something else. I hated the first few days of marching band, but now I love it.</p>
<p>^What she said. Unless you know for a fact that you hate it. Because other classes fill up quickly.</p>
<p>High School starts in 3 days… Not even finished with all my summer work. lol. :|</p>
<p>Oh, and advice from someone who’s been in both band and orchestra: it’s a pain if you don’t enjoy it. Why spend (at least) a year in a class that you absolutely hate when you could be enjoying another easier class? (unless you’re going for an AP or honors class, or something)</p>
<p>I just played my most interesting and longest round of golf/golf match. The course overbooked so we backed up lots of people. So many people dropped the F- bomb on us, and needless to say, I’ll never play there again.</p>
<p>I did middle school band for 3 years. The class provided some of the most painful hours of my existence.</p>
<p>^Ditto. 10char</p>
<p>I almost did band in middle school. I also tried teaching myself how to play the piano in 8th grade, got one for my 14th birthday, and grew bored with it within 1 or 2 weeks, (maybe 3 or 4, I can’t remember). I’m so impatient!!! Haha.
But if there’s one instrument I’m oh-so skilled at, it’s…</p>
<p>The recorder. 
Lol, but who doesn’t know how to play it? I think everyone was forced to play it in elementary school xD</p>
<p>^Yeah, we had to start playing the recorder in 3rd grade. After 6th grade, I never used it.
@EveningSwan: Did you do well? You seem so good at golf. I’m terrible. LOL!! I hope I get better.</p>
<p>I still use my recorder occasionally. My cousin has lessons for the recorder which I think is pointless, since he’ll eventually learn it in school. (He’s 6)</p>
<p>^No!!! Well, actually everyone did pretty bad, but we managed to win. We almost got hit by balls coming from behind…atleast I left the course without any injuries. :)</p>
<p>I start school tomorrow and I’m only about halfway done with my summer reading. Oops.</p>
<p>@EveningSwan: The Varsity team at our school won, and I recognize some of the boys since 3 of them were in my classes last year. Those boys are really good. Two of them got like an 83 and 85. I’ve barely played golf before, so I’m just playing with the girls. I hope I do well. I’m terrible. LOL!</p>
<p>Good luck on your first day tomorrow, kimm!</p>
<p>Good luck Freshies or 16ers</p>
<p>Start your four years off strong. Maintain great grades, but enjoy high school!</p>
<p>When you get to be a senior, your grey hairs will begin to show more than every before.</p>
<p>Four years will go by quickly. It still freaks me out that 3 years ago I was in your shoes and now I’m going to be finished in June!</p>
<p>Swinter - Thanks! I just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird, haha. The year hasn’t even started yet and I’m already procrastinating and cramming. :P</p>
<p>Thank you for the advice collegeboundJon :)</p>
