Aug 21st, 2011  - Tomorrow is the day when I embark on a new chapter in my life, Kindergarten. After going to Rockbrook Montessori for the couple of years, I am going to start my Elementary school at the Mockingbird Elementary. Earlier this week, we had "Meet the Teacher" evening where I met my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs Moore. I also got a chance to look at my new class. I have a cubby and a chair with my name on it.

This weekend was very busy shopping for my "off-to-school" essentials. We got a new lunch bag, box, bottle and other things that I would need for my school. My parents also took me to the temple to make sure I have blessings from above. We also shopped for the fall and winter as well.

I also have to get used to a new routine where I have to sleep early and wake up early. My new school times are from 7:50 AM - 3:00 PM. Since it was the summer holidays my parents allowed me to stay up just a bit late but not anymore. I need to be in bed by around 8 now. Most of my friends from Rockbrook will also start school tomorrow. I will miss them a lot and wish them the very best with their new schools. I am sure we will meet over the weekend.

What me worry? No way. New school, new friends, that's exciting for me. I think my parents are going to be a bit emotional, I can sense it. Wonder if there will be any crying tomorrow?

G'night y'all and wish me luck. May the Force be with me!
