【Aiden in English】
At last, I knew this day of the 6th grade would come, but not this quickly. You see, my brain was still in summer vacation mode. And now school's starting.
I was totally looking forward to meeting my teacher. But early this morning, I had to go to the middle school for math away from the other classes first, such as Language Arts, Science, and Social Studies which still remain in the elementary I have been since my 1st grade. My head seemed like in hibernation when I walked into the classroom. In addition, I was still half asleep.
我渴望跟班主任老師見面，不過大清早我得先趕往初中部去上數學課，然後再返回本人自小學一年級就開始生活的小學學習語文、科學和社會常識。走進教室時，我腦袋瓜一直昏迷迷的，仍然半夢半醒。
It was just me and three other 6th graders in Algebra I class for today. There was a meeting that all 7th, 8th, and 9th students participated. We were asked a few questions, went over the rules, and then: CLASS DISMISSED!
Afterwards the day took a turn for the worst. The school bus that was supposed to be at the middle school to escort us back to our ES didn't come in time. So what we did was to wait. And wait. And wait. And... About an hour later, after I went through 3 drawings, 1 maze, and half of a book, the bus arrived. Finally, I met my teacher, Mr. Richhart who looked better than I had hoped for. He was funny, a little strict, casual, liked to do cool things, and had hilarious stories.
Today was very interesting and an awkward way to kick off the school year. But something tells me that I'm gonna have a lot fun.
【紅霞譯文】
我清楚初中一年級這一天遲早會來，但從沒期待如此之快。你看我仍處在夏季休假狀態，尚未做好新學年精神準備，可學校馬上就要開課。
今天在《代數—I》課堂上，只有我本人和其他三位初中一年級的同學，而所有初中二三年級～高中一年級的學生正在開會。我們被問及若干問題，捋了一遍規章制度，隨即﹕“下課”﹗
打那以後，情況急轉直下，負責接送我們從初中返回小學的校車遲遲不到，除了無休無止的等待，我們無能為力。大約一小時有餘，我先後完成了三幅塗鴉，結束了整個迷宮遊戲，讀過了半本小說，校車才好不容易出現在大家面前。最終，我見到盼望已久的理查先生，他談笑風生，雖然有點嚴格，但穿着隨便，思想時尚，愛講搞笑的故事。
今天非常特別，以奇特的方式拉開新學年序幕。我本能地感覺出，六年級定將充滿快樂。
