The 7th Grade World of Mystery

Well, I am officially a 7th grader. I started last Tuesday. I am in Ojibwa House
(pronounced O-jib-wa, with a long "a"). The first day wasn't bad. But I got in trouble for having my shirt too low, and it wasnt low AT ALL!!!! It wasnt showing anything, and it was resting RIGHT under my collar bones. But the STUPID new dress code says all our shirts have to be covering your collar bones!! And let me tell you, there is hardly any place that sells shirts that high! Erg. It makes me mad. Today they made my friend put on a shirt that they had, cuz supposedly her shirt was "too low". The shirt that they gave her smelled disgusting!!!! So she called her mom and she brought her a different shirt. So stupid.
Everyone in my house got "House Shirts", and we all wear them on Fridays. On the front they say Ojibwa in purty writing, and the back says Asspire-Seek-Attain. They are really pretty red too.
The first locker that they gave me wouldn't open. I asked I think 5 different teachers, and they all couldn't open it until the 4th or 5th time. So my mom called and got me a different one. It opens alot easier. :]
My first elective is Choir. It is really fun. On November 28, our Choir gets to go to see the play Wicked. It was a first come, first serve thing. She only had 108 tickets, so we had to get it in fast. My mom might also be chaperoning. :]] We also get to walk around Chicago all day shopping. :]
My second elective is Art. I had it last year. It is probably my favorite elective. I love it!
On October 5th, our house is going our first field trip. We are going to East Troy, WI. There we are doing a low ropes thing, high ropes thing, Rock Wall, and capture the glowstick. Then we roast Hot Dogs on a bonfire and eat chips and soda, and then make S'mores. MMM...
The High Ropes thing is 30-40 feet in the AIR!!!! We are straped in a harness, and attached to a bunch of ropes and stuff. We have to cross the rope. I am scared, but excited. I don't like being 3 feet off the ground... imagine 30-40 feet! AHH!
All my teachers are pretty awesome. My Social Studies Teacher, Mrs.Gregory, is the cheerleading coach, so we do a lot of cheers. we have a cheer for our house. it goes " 'O' to the 'JIB' 'JIB' to the 'WA' 'O-JIB-WA!'
Well,
thats all I know for now.
More later

"Right now, you and me here, put together entirely from atoms, sitting on this round rock with a core of liquid iron held down by this force of this trouble you call gravity, all the while spinning around the sun at 67 thousand miles an hour and whizzing through the Milky Way at 600 thousand miles an hour in a universe that very well may be chasing its own tail at the speed of light.. and amidst all this frantic activity, fully cognizant of our own imminent demise-which is a very pretty way of saying we all know we're going to die-we reach out, to one another, sometimes for the sake of vanity, sometimes for reasons you're not old enough to understand yet, but a lot of the time we just reach out, and expect nothing in return. Isn't that strange? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird enough?" - Martian Child.
