Posted: 1/23/05 at 5:43pmThe least appreciated of them all. So any graduation parties yet? Or Yay-the-Evil-ELAs-Are-Over parties? My class had an ELA party. And we have a stupid standerdized social studies test in May-Anyone else? Is it a New York thing like the ELAs or a nation-wide thing?

Haha, My Fair Lady~ you are so funny! Unfortunately, I am not in the eight grade, but I remember 8th grade! We didn't really have a graduation because my school goes through 6-12 grades.
What the heck are ELAs??

Posted: 1/23/05 at 6:09pmOkay,not exactly graduation, but we've been having a lot of bar mitzvahs that are pretty much for, "Oh my god! I'll never see you again! We're in 8th grade!"

Posted: 1/23/05 at 6:53pmI'm in 8th grade, too. ELAs are evil. And the end of the year tests given by the state are evil as well.
I have my books and my poetry to protect me...

Govna (sorry, I have My Fair Lady stuck in my head)-That sounds sucky as well.
The ELAs are the devil's curse to 8th graders.

What is it about Lucy?? I know she's a bitch, and yet I want to be her...
#13re: 8th graders!
Posted: 1/23/05 at 8:16pmI don't get a ring, but you have to apply to private high schools. And there are A LOT of parties.
#14re: 8th graders!
Posted: 1/23/05 at 8:19pmGod. This sounds so different from when I was in 8th grade, and it was hardly that long ago.... class rings, graduation pictures? Hm. You guys aren't graduating from high school!

I was in eighth grade last year. What a pain in the neck those state tests were. Ela, social studies, earth science regents, math state exam and mid terms and finals.
Midterms for living environment and math a2 tomorrow. my first highschool midterms!

Posted: 1/23/05 at 9:09pmwow...you all have really extravagent 8th grade years. Mine consisted of a dance, a ceremony, and getting your picture taken with your friends in the courtyard. And then we went home. 8th grade was a pretty fun year. The last time I was ever in a clique.
HROK?

Posted: 1/23/05 at 9:39pmWell, I applied to a Jewish school on Long Island, because I go to a Jewish school!
#22re: 8th graders!
Posted: 1/24/05 at 9:38pmI don't take the ELA's either. I take the GEPAs which s*c* because we prep forever and it's terrrible. All we get is a dance *it's formal and it's kinda fun to get dressed up* and a graduation ceremony. We also get a field trip in May to go to P.A to ride on a boat. What fun. :-P
A most ingenious paradox.
#23re: 8th graders!
Posted: 1/24/05 at 9:51pmWe just get a semi-formal dance. And the ceremony. And a retreat, but it's to some religious place, and I've heard it's so horrible. My graduation proofs for the pictures came out horrendously. Only one out of the six was good.
