7th Grade Reflections

When I first arrived in August, I expected 7th grade to be easy. I would just cruise on through having great time. But I soon realized that wouldn’t be even close to what it would be like. By October, my life was all homework all the time. I got math homework every night. There was blog post due on Friday every week. I was even given reviews for tests with material I hadn’t learned yet!

Eventually, I figured out that I just had to deal with it. I just needed to drudge my way through all those night with no free time. I just needed to do all those silly reviews with new material. I just needed to persevere. Through out seventh grade, I got to learn all sorts of things. Dissecting a dear heart, graphing endless lines, and knowing about natives were some of the things I learned.

But, as the year comes to a close, I have no idea how to feel about 8th grade.

How do you feel about next year?

The One Problem With This Project

I have this project at school. I’m supposed to make display to show people what I’ve learned about a topic. I have a problem with this project. I get to choose the topic.

I’m am really bad at choosing topics. All of the possibilities and I have to choose just one? How could anybody choose? Now, for most people, they’re all like “Yay! I get to choose! Now I can research that thing I’ve apparently wanted to research for months!” Not me. First, I have to think of something. That’s where it all goes wrong. What if I can’t find enough information on this topic? What if there is a slightly different topic that would yield better results? I’ll never know. That possibility is what trips me up.

If the topic was given, however, I would have a much easier time. I already know what to research, so it’s a piece of cake from there. The only thing that’s hard for me is the idea.

I doubt anybody else has this problem, but for me, it’s one of the worst. Ever.
