This week I started going back to school after the summer break ended which I wasn’t really looking forward to. My class isn’t too bad and the teacher is better than the only other grade 8 teacher this year in my opinion. So far we haven’t really done much in class and we’ve just been doing “icebreaker” activities for the past few days even though pretty much all of us already know each other since this is our last school year at the elementary school. Because of that, I don’t really have anything to write about regarding school so I’ll just write about how my summer went.
At the very start of the summer my brother, mom and I went up to our cottage and stayed there for two nights until we decided it was too hot for us to want to stay any longer. There wasn’t anything, in particular, that was that exciting besides our uncle’s new boat which was a lot more comfortable to ride in compared to our grandfather’s fishing boat.
After the cottage trip, I’d pretty much just stay home and play games or go out every once in a while for a walk. Pretty much by the end of the summer, the only games I really played were osu! and Counter Strike since Fortnite was at the point of adding so many new things I just couldn’t bother myself to keep up with it. In my opinion, Fortnite is slowly losing players and definitely won’t be as popular as it used to be by the end of the month. A lot of my friends also have kind of the same general opinion on the game and haven’t really been playing it as much. I don’t think I’ll stop playing, but I won’t be playing it as much as I used to. osu! has been pretty fun for me and I have seen some definite improvement in myself since I started playing at the beginning of summer. I’m also trying to get back into Counter Strike, but with school starting, I don’t think I’ll be able to play as much as I’d like.
For the last week of the summer break, we had to go to Montreal for one of our uncles’ wedding. We stayed in Pembroke for a few days which was fun and then we went to Montreal closer to where the wedding was. The wedding was pretty good besides the outdoor ceremony which was really hot and the loud music. The food was good and I got to talk with one of my cousins. The day after, we went back home and I had a day to play a little more although it was mostly just osu! so I could maintain my rank since I can’t play between weekends.
Overall, my summer was pretty fun, I didn’t do anything too exciting but I enjoyed my self and had a good time for the most of it. I’m not particularly looking forward too much about school since being in grade 8 has a lot of the high school transition stuff to worry about.
