The school year is going by quickly and I can't wait for summer!

I know, right?! I can't wait for summer to finally arrive! But when summer is over, I'll start high school, and I'm so nervous to start lol

Oof, I'm going to be a freshman too. A lot of mixed feeling :(

Yeah, just how did we land on freshman so soon?! Yeah, I agree; lot of mixed feelings but at least we will be in high-school together!

LOL, yes!!! I can’t even believe it! High school??? I mean, wow! And yes, at least we can suffer together! 😂

Yeah! My mom was like, "No, you gotta stop growing! I just couldn't believe that you'll be in high-school!" LOL! 🤣Yeah, agreed!

I'm not going to be a freshman.. still in middle school. :(

Enjoy middle school while it lasts, trust me high school comes soon enough

Yeah, I agree. She'll start middle school this year. I remember being sixth grader nearly 3 years ago and now I'm eighth grade going on ninth grade! @doggiechristmas, high-school would come around so QUICKLY

Same! Can't wait for summer.

Me too, although I'm terrified for high school next year!

Same here! I have feelings ranging from dread to excitement

Oh, I'm sure you will be fine. I have a couple of years until high school 😂

Today I have a very special shout-out to @bsc I didn't really think you got a lot of those so here is your very own shout-out lol

Aw, thanks. It has been a while since I have been on here, so it's nice to see this!

May 5th is World Laughter Day and Cinco de Mayo!

SO sorry I haven't been active, I've been busy with computer programming...

Cool! I have always wanted, to program....... but I can barely program a circle..... (JavaScript) And welcome back! Glad you're back!

Thanks! I also do JS. Here is the proggramming for one: ellipse(250, 250, 20, 20); and ellipse in a book is this: ... So you could think of it like a single one, and the first number in an ellipse is x -meaning where on the screen you put it, left or right?- 2nd number is y -meaning where you put it on the screen, top or bottom?- 3rd number is the width, 4th number is the height! Hope this helped!

Ahh!!! Ok! Thank you! I never knew what the numbers meant, as I usually just copied and pasted the programming. This really helped! Thanks soo much!

It is!! I've moved on to HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)

Oh wow! I could never in my wildest dreams code HTML or CSS...... 😢

Not yet... But I'm flying through the units and I will be there soon!!

Oooh, computer programming! It's totally okay, glad you are back tho!
