I knew that starting Junior High would be a difficult transition for Anthony; He is very smart... He is also unorganized, lazy and forgetful and I am afraid he might not get the grades that he really deserves. So I have to be on top of things and constantly make sure that he has done all his homework and stays focused. Hopefully, as the year progresses, he will get better at keeping track of what needs to be done and I'll be able to relax a little.
He was a little disappointed that he couldn't join the Jazz Band though. And he is looking forward to getting started on a new instrument in Band. Right now, the whole class is learning how to read music and play piano which is pretty easy for Anthony. He is hoping to learn how to play the Saxophone. But who knows, he might end up playing something entirely different!
In the meantime, he is enjoying the last little bit of Summer we have left. His surfing is getting better. He now definitely knows how to catch a good wave. He just needs to learn how to ride the wave at an angle (which would make his ride longer). He is going to La Jolla, with his surfing instructor this Saturday, and they will practice angle take-offs which should help him get even better rides. And even if he doesn't get it right away, I'm sure he will have lots of fun!
