Today was the first day of school and for me going to middle school.
I was a little scared but excited. I couldn’t sleep at all the night before so when it was time to get up I was ready. I felt good but again; I was scared.
I’m going to a new school and I don’t know anybody there. It’s near my mom’s job and I’m riding with her everyday. I wanted to ride the bus but this year they are not doing that. I didn’t know where I was going or where any of my classes were. The school is big but after going in it wasn’t too bad. When I got to my homeroom 2 other boys were already there and they seemed pretty cool.
My homeroom teacher seemed really cool but talking to other kids that was in his class last year they said that he is evil. We’ll see about that because he seems ok so far to me. I have language arts first period, then health, social studies, science then extending studies.
Middle school is really long, much longer than being in school last year. I know where I’m going so I don’t think I’ll get too lost anymore. We are supposed to get lockers tomorrow and I can’t wait for that. I have to learn to open it but I don’t think that will be too hard to learn.
We didn’t have any homework on the first day and I’m happy about that. My plan is to be the top student or one of the top students in my class this year.
I’m going to make it a great year!.

Today my dad and I finally got back to Georgia! I was so excited I could hardly hold my excitement. The first thing I did was get a haircut. Well, before that I ran to my room and just fell on my bed. My own room with my tv in there & my playstation 3. It was great! I was able to download music to my cell phone and go over to my cousins’ house. I went to the park to see my friends practice football. Now, I’m a little upset about that because I had surgery and I can’t play football this year so I just have to whatch all my friends & my cousins’ play the game. I’ll just have to keep getting stronger for basketball. I can’t wait until basketball this year because I’m going to be THE MAN!
Usually when I go to California I let my hair grow out until it becomes a mini afro. But when I get back to Georgia my mom takes me to get a haircut almost every week on a regular basic. I like getting my hair cut but my dad doesn’t think it’s that important so my hair just grows.
I’m so glad to be in Georgia because I have everything a kid could want here. Unlike in California where we don’t have cable, air conditioning, or anything else a kid might want. California is fun because I get to visit my brother, sister and my dad but I always like coming back home.
On the way back to Georgia we stopped at my dad’s friend’s house in Mississippi. She lives in a house that her dad built with his own hands. I don’t think I would want to live there but the house was pretty cool. It had about nine rooms, four bathrooms, and an elevator! The house was very unique considering one person built it with his own two hands. Outside was a giant field that looked like it went on forever. It was a good place to build a house because there was nothing but free space.
After that I was ready to drive all night because I was extremely high on hot chocolate mixed with french vinilla. I thought that I wouldn’t be able to sleep for at least three days, but my dad said that he was tired so he pulled into a truck stop and when to sleep in the truck. I, on the other hand, was wide awake. I kept trying to move in that jam-packed truck because I was having my sugar rush. I was so hyped that I started shaking the truck just to get rid of all that rampaging energy. After a few minutes we began riding to Georgia again. It only took a few hours to get back home.
As soon as I get home I’m going to greet the rest of my family. Afterward, I’m going to sit on the couch and watch T.V. all day like a lazy bum. I tuned everything out too. My mom kept calling me to come down to eat but I just stayed right in front of the T.V.
