I didn't like 7th garde too much, all because of some things that happened in my life (not involving school). But I also didn't like the way pour classes worked in 7th (we had 2 main teachers, not really switching classes which is so much more fun). 8th garde was more fun. They changed the way the classes were, and we got to have different teachers for each subject, but still had the same people in our classes. And I also made a great group of friends that year, who i miss very much now that I go to a different high school. As for freshman year, I hated it. There was only a few people who went to my public school that were going to my Catholic high school, but I wasn't really friends with them. I also didn't really make friends with anybody because I could't find a group to fit in with. But this year, I found another great group of friends, and now I enjoy my school so much more because they make it fun. (Sorry long post!)
