MiddleSchool--the worst english teacher ever--and penpals.

I started middleschool 5 weeks ago. It's wierd. Our classes are all smushed together. So it's really no fun. I have the most evil english teacher ever. His name is Mr. G. But I call him Mr. Shotgun. He is devilish. On the second day of school he yelled at me for leaving my math book in the social studies room. Right next door! The social studies teacher was fine with it. But I kind of had a fit because he gave the book to shotgun--an evil elder. Then, anyway, I walked into my homeroom. Shotgun's homeroom. Apparently he was talking about me. I guess how unorganized I was. Bla, Bla, Bla... "Maisie, Maisie, Maisie! You need to keep track of your stuff"

Bla.

"Yes. I know."

"What happend?"

"I don't know... I think when I was packing up my stuff to go to E period they fell out of my...uh...thingie (Binder.)"

"That's ridiculous"

I was confused. What did I say wrong?

"They fell out of your what?? Binder? Backpack? Thingie is not a real word."

OMG! OK he's an english teacher. OK. Thingie is not a real word. So What??? No one cares. No one but him. I was nervous. He's a nerd.

Mr. G kept on bending my books. That made me angry. Meanwhile I was holding out my hand, very slightly. He finally, reluctantly, handed me my books, as though I was going to drop them or something.

So, after a while I got used to it, I didn't care what he said. Other people got in trouble instead of me. Like a guy named Joe. Joe. Haha. I always brought in my homework and I still do. But yesterday I found out that my Mom had just written a confidential letter to Shotgun telling him how happy she was that I had such a challenging teacher. He wrote back a joyful letter to my mom (How suprising!). He said that I was such a joy in to have in class and that he is so happy that I was put in six red and that I should be reluctant to come to extra help just because I'm a GOOD student. So... That's a good thing.

In my school we have a thing called S.T.R.I.D.E

Those are like sowing and woodwork and health and tutorial. This semester I have sowing, chorus, general music theory, art, Gym, and sewing. I love it!!!!

Talk later.
