First 9 weeks

What is your impression of the first 9-weeks of high school? I thought it was going to be harder than what is really was it was pretty easy. I was nervous the first 2 weeks then it became fun after words. The teachers that I have are all really nice. I thought the teachers were going to be really mean a strict. 

What has been difficult about the transition from middle school? I want used to the amount of people and how much freedom we have to walk around the school. the classes are all over the place when they used to be next to each other. the classes were 90 minutes long when they were somethings like 45 minutes.

What has been easy about the transition? Most of the people that went to my middle school came to high school with me and it wasn't hard to make friends because most of them were already here. The school was easy to get used to.


What have you learned about yourself? I learned that I need to study more and focus on what I am doing. When working with partners I shouldn't pick my friends because they might not be willing to do any work. I like to get my work done as soon as possible and not wait till the very end.
