Well school is back again. I myself cannot wait any longer because this summer ****ing sucked. I went out almost everyday and had nothing fun to do. Eh. Anyways I'm looking forward to school. I think it starts sometime in September. Anyone else ready for school?
I hope to get my schedule soon. Post you're schedules here.
I'm starting CEGEP in 11 days. I had to choose my courses this morning and all make them fit in the schedule. Took me a while. Next is buying the books :(
Please dont talk about school. Im taking hard classes this year. UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
AP English Language
AP Physics
AP Calculus
AP Psychology
Civics/Economics
Ninth Grade PE (didn't want to touch the icky weights in Conditioning, so they got me into this)
WHOOOO. Actually, I prefer AP courses to the normal because they're more test-based and hand out minimal homework. As for my feelings towards going back: I don't really care, it's just getting up in the morning that sucks, and not being able to stay up as late as i have been all summer.
I live in a small town, so it sucks horribly because there is usually nothing to do. School is the only thing that can save me from boredom.
I'm looking forward to school. It starts September 5th. I miss my brain stimulation.
Yay, finally my senior year. Then I can go to college~

Same here. I believe school starts around the same time for me. I'll be a senior. I have no idea of what I'm going to do after school. I will most likely go to college or find a job as soon as I can.
Well, if you don't choose the college route, enjoy your lack of success.
I will be going to college, I'm just not sure If I want to go right away. I might want to make some money before going.
my summer vacation was less than a week long
I knew someone would say that, but I mean "success" as in making a lot of money.
Sure, there are other things you can do without a degree and you might end up making a decent living, or get lucky and make a lot of money, but I think that'd take hard work--and the majority of the time, it ain't happening. I just meant that as a rule, in today's world there's not a lot you can do without a degree. :/
I want to go to college to be a biologist. Science is awesome.
There are actually quite a few things you can do without a degree and still make decent/way above average wages and be successful.
I'll probably be going to school next year. Still have to decide for what, though.
I could be an online porn star.
But anyways, around here you don't need college to work at a mine, but I would never work at one anyways. Mining pays a lot too, like $20 or so an hour, plus you usually work for like 6 days out of the week. Some construction you don't need to have schooling for. Thats all I can really think of.
[quote=Sable Wind;641526]I just meant that as a rule, in today's world there's not a lot you can do without a degree. :/
Compared to Sweden the US is apparently alot easier to get a job without a degree.
Sweden has only got 9 grades before collage, and I didn't even finish 8th grade.
Luckily I had my dad who supplied me with work.
Also through him, I got my job to lay down house foundations.
But yeah, I can't even get a job at BK without my final degree.
[quote=CK]I could be an online porn star.
Lol, man, I'd hit that. XD
meh
I'm kind of excited to go to school. Junior year. Everyone's excited, at least a little. I'd love to go back and see everyone, and see how it is, and such.
But I know that, after about a week, it becomes school. And there's nine more months of it. After that first high of "Oh lol I'm back!", it will go back to hours of homework every night, grade struggling, etc. So, I would like to go back, but I have that realization more this year than others. :(
And my summer was only two months. Blah. Everyone I know outside my county had a three month summer.
Anyway:
AP Government

AP Lang
AP Art

Second semester:

I know I want to go to college to do something in the Movie business. My goal is to be a Director. If I can't get into that area, I might take photography or Art.
Blah. I know nothing of my future. I would like to do something in art perhaps, maybe something such as a concept artist or one of them video game artists or something. >_>
If not, I'd like to get into the business of games or movies, just somehow. Maybe I should start beginning to ponder about college!
I haven't been giving it much thought either. I want to go to a very friendly area, somewhat close to my area. I'll most likely get a college grant or loan to get the money. Anyways my top schools are
1. Northern Michigan University - Not so sure if this college includes film
2. Michigan Tech - Includes Filming, Music, Stage, etc.
3. Lakeland College - I think this is just for behind desk kind of jobs
4. Full Sail (even if it's in Florida) - Sounds great for people who want to make movies. I heard Big Boss goes there. :)
5. Still open - I still don't have a fifth college.
Anyways I plan to get more serious on the subject of college this year.
lol, im only going to be a junior because i got kicked out of preschool for throwing a softball at some kids face :cookie:
but yeah, i want to go to school. i miss it. :(
I HOPE I get the same schedule outline as last year.
I'm not looking foward to school at all. The school I'm being forced to go to now sucks. I have to earn 7 1/2 elective credits before I graduate. This is because White Pigeon's electives aren't electives at Lakeshore.
It's my junior year this year as well. I'm hoping to go to Spring Arbor University when I graduate.
AP Human Geography
AP Comparative Government
AP Calc
AP Physics C
AP Computer Science AB
English 12
AP Psychology
Easier schedule than last year.
School...great for hanging out with friends and meeting new people...nothing else is cool about it.
Lot of people on this fourm have AP classes. Kinda shocking but Im glad people are pushing it. But I guess AP doesnt automatically mean Hard, just harder.
Anywho Im starting college and taking their chef program for two years (then going for on job exsperince). Im hoping I dont get pinned with classes I dont need, but Ill be happy any how.
I can't recall what classes I took. I think I took
Art 4
P.E. 4 (gym)
English 12
Goverment (we have to take it) - Half year I believe
Some film class for the half of the year - Half year I think
Money Math
and I think that's it. I'll know for sure when I get my Schedule.
Eng 201
Math 108
Police Science
Music 101
Psych 101
I have to pick what classes I want. I haven't gotten it all sorted out yet. I know I have to take British Literature though.
I just got my papers for registration today. :( Summer really is almost over.
I'm taking:
AP English
AP Economics
Trigonometry/Discreet
Genetics,Bacteriology, Embryology
Spanish 3
Concert Orchestra
I know I took all easy classes this coming year. I wanted this year to be much easier because I'm just tired of school.
I'll be starting my second year at college a week from Monday. I'm not particularly looking forward to it, but it means that I'll be working less at my job, which will be nice (going from 40+ hours per week to more like 25). I'll be taking:
Physics I
Computer Science II
Discrete Math
Some world history class (World Civilizations, I think)
A full 15 hour load, so I'll have plenty of work this semester. I should be done with my core classes by the end of next spring, so I'll just be taking Computer Science classes (my major) and Math classes (which I have to take a whole hell of a lot of).
Your choice, don't whine about it, etc etc
While the rate of "success" might be comparable, those with degrees are prone to be white collar-- which means no manual labor.
I'd love some manual labour. On a farm.
Ugh, I just got done with Philosophy for the summer and I'm back to school next week. This semester I've got:
German 102 (MWF)
English 220 (R)
Algebra 121 (MWF)
Enviromental Science (TR)
Enviromental Science Lab (F)
This schedule is pretty annoying, really. I only end up with one class on Tuesday (so, that's two hours of commuting for one hour of class). I also get math three times a week, which isn't really what I want to be starting and ending my week with. But, at least I have all of my classes fairly early in the day; I don't like afternoon classes nor do I enjoy rush hour. Next semester will be much of the same, as I continue with German 201 and Math 182. I think I'll get to add some history and economics into the fray as well. :/
Physics 1
Alg 2
Trig

That sounds like a good job really. I myself want to go into writing and be a novelist. I've already decided what college I'm going to, and I'm a junior.
Being home-schooled, I can not really say that I am looking forward to going to school, but I do miss the stimulation. My mind has rapidly been turning into jellow the past 3 months.

SCHOOL WAS SO AWESOME TODAY I BEAT SOMEONE WITH MY MBA RACK DECK
And thus, another year sitting at the nerd table.
If I could go back to school, I'd probably give less of a **** about looking like a nerd and sit playing Magic every lunchtime with my buddies. :(
I dont sit at the nerd table. I dont sit with all the preps either. Im in the middle. Im fine with that.
I didn't sit at the "super popular" table, nor the nerd/loser table, but somewhere in between where you get the best mix of people. Oddly enough, the super popular table was all kids I was friends with in elementary. How times changed.
Oh, highschool! All of the stupid cliques and equally stupid people sure have lgiven me some lasting memories. I had a group of friends that ranged from popular athelete types to losery nerd types. The thing is, we were all kinda losery nerds at heart though. I think we'd push three tables together at lunch to seat all twenty or so of us in the same spot.
My school gave detentions for pushing tables together :cookie:
I got detention once for trying to reassemble a broken computer chair. :(
i didnt even break it
O I have a funny story. We have 2 tables that they put together, so im on the one side. Im eating and one of the girls that sit on the other end sits down. She was the only one at the other table. We had grilled cheese and tomato soup that day. I dont know what happened the one collapsable side collapsed and her tray and books went everywhere. They got all soupy.
should've called out "food fight" and chucked the nearest item of food at someone.
If a food fight broke out my school would of called the cops. Cause thats how cool they are.
Mine just handed out detentions to everyone on that lunch and suspended those that started it. Good times.
Lucky, I would of taken a detention for throwing spaghetti at people.
school = sucks horribly.
I WANT TO GET IN A FOOD FIGHT I WASTED MY EDUCATION :(
I surprisingly can't wait any longer for school. I wish my **** schedule would get in because I want to see what classes I have. I better have the ones I chose too.
Yea our school doesnt alow us to wear hats. I have no idea why, its so gay.
[quote=The Hate;643206]Yea our school doesnt alow us to wear hats. I have no idea why, its so gay.
I think most schools have that rule.
Only person in my school who was allowed a hat was That Girl With Cancer.
My school doesn't start until September 4, because I live in Michigan. :p
I don't know what my schedule is yet because before I can get fully registered at my new school I have to have a chicken pox shot. I hate getting shots, because I'm actually afraid of needles. I'd rather actually have chicken pox than get the shot.
I'm starting Lower 6th form this year. I am entitled to EMA too.
[quote=Kit;643643]I'm starting Lower 6th form this year. I am entitled to EMA too.
In my school you have to do all homework and coursework on time as well, which in my case means I wont get any money at all.
We have a new rule in my school. If you somehow forget to turn in homework, and it never gets turned in, you fail that class with an F.
That rule sucks. I don't know what my school rules are. I haven't been in this school's system for four years, and back then I was only in sixth grade.
[quote=Crazy K;643668]We have a new rule in my school. If you somehow forget to turn in homework, and it never gets turned in, you fail that class with an F. It won't last, trust me. Something similar was brought into my school, and most teachers cared too much about getting as many people to pass as possible to file the reports/whatever.
Yeah, same thing with my school back in the day. It can't last otherwise the school would be under serious investigation and in a lot of trouble. You just can't have that many kids fail.

but I have a rotating schedule meaning everyday its different.
Eh. It's started. Third day is tomorrow. My classes are pretty decent, I have friends in almost all of 'em.
I'm making it a point this year to make good grades. I'm dang good at any class, except for the homework part. :( If homework didn't exist, I'd have a 4.0 all the time. =/ So, I'm actually planning to do the homework every night, so I don't get screwed over by getting behind and not being able to dig back out.

15 hrs. I'm really curious about my American Culture class since most countries think America's culture is either abscent or evil.
So, basically you wanted a semester where you'd never have to try or think? Mission accomplished.
Ha, I don't even know where I'm going to school this year. Sort-of-moving really messes things up. ...And I don't know what my grades were last quarter, either. I guess this is "flying blind."
Me? I took a year off from school. There's nothing like finishing up high school and then goofing off for a year, and already being accepted to attend MI next fall. Ah I love it.
I'm keeping busy though. I'll be doing some jazz bass training, while still making music with the band I'm playing bass for right now.
Also, I'll be moving into my apartment in December. I'm excited about that.
I feel sorry for high school students especially now that I'm out. I just realized how stupid it was.
Starts Monday for me. Trying to decide if I should just get my GED. It's a private school (accredited by the state, but still), and people who've left there and get theirs keep saying that colleges will accept one all the same as they would a diploma from my school. A friend of mine passed it on her second try because she messed up on the math portion, and as... Well, ditsy as she is, surely I could pass it.
I'm looking forward to all of the senior year perks and whatnot, but the workload is going to be a ****ing drag. I won't bother going into details because the curriculum is pretty weird, but long story short, I'm required to go **** I don't need. I'll have to do over a year's worth of English. None of it is new. Hell, English is useless by the time you even get to high school in our curriculum. There's the middle school English, then the high school English which is divided into four units. You learn a thing or two in the 9th grade course, but everything after that is just a repeat of the course before it with different words in identical problems. Not to mention III and IV, the 11th and 12th grade courses, aren't even really English. They're more History with a load of boring poetry slapped on.
Oh well. Guess I'd better make up my mind in the next 24 hours, since there's no point in even going the first day if I'm just going to leave sooner or later.
[/tl;dr]
Colleges usually look at a high school with more favor than they do a GED. If your college of choice isn't too choosy, I wouldn't worry about it. If you're trying to get into a selective college, the high school diploma might be worth the additional effort.
I also start tomorrow. Ugh. I'm going out now to scout a new route for my long commute.
I'm dedicating my efforts to a 4.0 this year. Maybe even in college. I have to get my GPA up if I'm looking at going into physics and mathematics. : [
But hey, so far so good. I have above a 4.0! After the first week of school lol.
Starts the 29 I think but I cant remember. Sorta hard schedule, I still feel retarded though.
I start school on September 4th, I actually can't wait.
Mine starts next monday the 27th.
Any first year university level language courses don't require much effort.
True, except that the normal language track has class every day. The Review is accelerated and goes over more material.
I suck at languages. Probably cause I dont wanna learn them. I have to take a language for college though. :(
Mine starts on Wenesday, Sophomore year. :] I'm kind of excited kind of not, I remember at the middle of Fresshie year I was always complaining and saying, "Gawd I'm ready for summer." And it's gone by so fast. D:
But yeah, all I know is I'm taking Acting and Musical Theatre, if I'm taking Musical Theatre at 3rd hour(which means I'll take it everyday) I think I may cry. :D
First day over with. Nothing's changed, it seems. I need to set some priority to certain subjects, and then I could be finished in the late winter/early spring. My school is a "work at your own pace" kind of thing. If I finish with my workload before the date of graduation, I don't have to show up until that day. I've got 60 workbooks left. Soon as I get down to 40 (which will be before the end of the first quarter, so within nine weeks), I can start leaving every day at 12:00 instead of 3:00. :cool:
Edit: An example of the "work at your own pace" curriculum. My cousin Philip, who is actually the principal now, graduated from my school when he was only 14. Another example would be another cousin of mine, Dustin, who didn't graduate until he was 20. :s
Nice.
That sounds like a really ****ing good school.
That really gets u motivated to work lol.
Last year of Highschool for me so I'm excited. I don't really mind going back that much. This summer was a blow out. Everyone of my friends decided to work the whole week leaving little time to do anything and no parties so at least I'll be back doing something interesting. Anyway, I've got a good two weeks left and still some AP work left to do before I go back. Only thing I'm not excited about is finishing up any achievments tests I didn't take last year. I'm not in the mood to kill myself studying for those but whatever.
I had German and Math today. The German class had roughly 15 people in attendance, and the math class had nearly 100. Great professors for both, and it appears that homework will be assigned in little tiny bits instead of huge chunks, so the workload will have a nice even spread. I'm happy with that. Tomorrow I have only one class, and that is with a friend so it should be good.
Registration on Wednesday, and then school starts on Sept. 5th, I think.
Holy ****.
I'll have about 500 people in my graduating class.
*** I just went shopping for school supplies. uggg :(
I'll have one guy besides me. And he's just a Junior that's graduating early. Unless one of the other two Juniors decides to graduate early (one says he doesn't want to do because it'll mean he has to get a job, the other never talks about it, but she doesn't seem to be planning on it, either). Oddly enough, as small as the school is and always has been, there's never been a graduating class of one. Smallest is always 2, biggest was 12.

I missed my slot for AS exams due to having been in Chile as a result of certain circumstances, so I'm taking those in January. I should be done with compulsory education by June, but in the meantime I have a ****-ton of coursework and two sets of exams to contend with - not to mention university applications.
Doom, doom, doom, doom...

You think your school is tiny? My graduating class has fifty-five people.
Just shy of 200 in my year.
Mine was something like 90 in grade 12. Much smaller in other years.
You guys go to some **** small schools.
I went to a school in the country, hence the small numbers.
There were ~2000 people in my high school.
But how many really matter? I can only see one.
MW - Foundations of Nursing and Lab - 8:00 - 11:55
M - Industrial Psych - 5:30 PM - 8:00 PM (Minor in Psych lol)
T - Hospital Clinical - 6:00 - 3:30 (this day is going to rule)
W - Health Assessment - 1:05 - 4:55
R - Nursing Skills - 9:30 - 11:20
R - Psych Personality - 6:00 PM - 8:45 PM
On top of that, I have to do 10 hours of community service for the program and a Skills lab on the weekends. Also, the program is supposed be extremely hard, so hell yeah. I'm really looking forward to it though. I like to be challenged and I get to spend one day a week at a hospital, looking at patient's medications and symptoms and figuring out why the doctors and nurses did what they did. It's going to be hard to fit in a work out / exercise / soccer program for myself though, but I'll manage by less internet time or something, because I refuse to sacrifice "having fun" at night.
Hm. Apparently I'm getting 20 bux a week to pick up a 4th grader that goes to my school in the mornings. His house is only a few minutes away. My normal trip to and from school is like 14 miles. I only need like $7 - $10 a week for gas, and picking him up only makes my trip like 17 - 18 miles. So I guess I'm turning a profit. Fun.
HOPEFULLY A WII WILL RESULT IF I SAVE MY PENNIES.
I don't even get my schedule until the first day of school, and I've never been to this high school before. I don't even know if I'll get the classes I want for another two weeks. I knew I would hate Lakeshore.
ive been in school for like a month now thas why i never post here
I just finished my first day of school in College/CEGEP.
It was fun. Wish I knew more people though. I felt kinda lonely :(
Results tomorrow. OH SHI-
You failed everything.
Not everything, but I did fail.
3 out of 5 Cs, but I'm supposed to have another one for Literacy/Numeracy, that makes 4, and I haven't been given the results of one of my subjects for some reason, so it's still undecided. OH *** THE SUSPENSE
DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS
got my DiDA result, 2, maybe 3 extra C grades, and 1, maybe 2 Us
What the **** is a C? Like, an actually C as in below a B but above a D or is this a british thing?
Above a D and below a B, we need 5 Cs to get into Sixth Form, and I only just got 5.
Wait, if Kit's talking about GCSEs then I might just have to smite him. That ****'s easy, boy. How the hell can you possibly manage to attain a U, let alone a C?!
You seem to be forgetting that you are smarter than I am. :)
Besides, I spent most of my lessons messing around, and I'm not very good at exams (English in Particular, but I got decent Coursework marks for those subjects.)
My RE lessons weren't anything, all we did was watch videos every lesson. I didn't even get a U though, got an F.
They didn't even bother entering me for the PSHE exam, I was given no work in any lessons, did no Coursework either.
DiDA is a crap lesson, I spent the first few months doing nothing because the site where we get the work from wasn't built yet. Then once it was I did the work like I was told to do and then it's like OH WAIT WE FORGOT TO MENTION YOU HAVE TO DO ALL OF THIS AS WELL BECAUSE WE LIKE TELLING YOU THINGS A YEAR LATER and nobody in the lesson got a chance to do the 4th GCSE it gave. First two I got Cs, Third is undecided for some reason. If I don't get a C I'll get a U, though.
Maths just went horribly, horribly wrong.
Business is really, really easy. I could have easily gotten an A, maybe an A* if they'd let me enter for Higher. They put the whole class in Foundation so I only got a C, despite me having A* for Coursework.
Science, I got a D because I didn't bother with Coursework. Only put effort into 1 piece and it only got a C. I gave in another but I don't know what mark it was, meaning it was probably a U, and I didn't do the other because the teacher I had at the time didn't give the class any.
I got a C for Key Skills simply because I passed the 2 exams. And they decided to randomly give me a G for something. I don't even know what it is.
Is a U a failing grade?
Huh, clarification on the British grading system would be nice.
A*
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
Unclassified (U)
*** I suck at math. Well its my least favorite subject so maybe thats why.
Wait, you guys have something below an F? Low standards get?
Holy ****. Are british kids just so stupid that they had to make a lower grade?
English F =/= Fail
I always thought that U was 'unmarkable'.
My GCSE results weren't amazing, but given that I didn't study and didn't finish all my coursework, they're decent. got A* in both English modules, A in German and maths, and Bs in everything else except design, in which I got a C. My predictions were Cs and Ds across the board.
My AS Level predictions (teachers', not mine) are:
English lang: A
English lit: A
Philosophy: D
Politics: E
[quote=Shade]Holy ****. Are british kids just so stupid that they had to make a lower grade?
Standards are pretty low in the UK these days. Only eleven people in my year (200 people) got above B for English GCSE last year, and we're from a 'good' school. There's actually talk of scrapping AS Levels and replacing A Levels with multiple-choice questionaires. Doesn't the USA already have something like that?
Your school system confuses the hell out of me.
Canada anyways. But yeah, I don't understand it either. I think it's just the accent, really =/
Britain invented everything good in the world. THAT'S WHY
We invented Television, Toilet Paper and the Internet, apparently.
Also Grand Theft Auto and Banjo-Kazooie.
Holy shit, are American kids so stupid that they can't comprehend an education system working differently to their own?
No. European kids are so stupid they need an education system that's different than ours! :cookie:
Which is ironic, considering ours is so much simpler!
[quote=mis0;732965]No. European kids are so stupid they need an education system that's different than ours! :cookie:
We have schools older than your country.
What does that prove, if anything?
That Europeans don't need an education system that's different from the American one because when the education system was formed the US didn't exist. If anything it's the other way around.
I really hope this post is redundant, what it proves should really be obvious.
AGE alone proves nothing. I know what you're trying to say, but just because the school you attend has stood for 400 years doesn't make it a particularly good place to get an education. You know, especially if they decide to teach you from curriculum that's as old as the school itself.
Way to fall back on the straw man, Speedy.
Please guys, everyone knows AMERICA R00LZ and Ford trucks will always roam the freeways of our GREAT COUNTRY. YEAH! **** EUROPE!
It doesn't really matter who has the better education system, I'm still pretty sure that there an equal RATIO of idiots in every country.
I have a feeling those 400 year-old schools didn't have the same curriculum nor the same marking system they do now!

I never said the education system was better. I just thought it was dumb to think that a school system was bad because of a certain symbol being used in a grading system.:cool:
I knew this thread wasn't that serious, I just can't resist a UK VS US discussion when the US side is being particularly stupid. It's fun to watch all the serious arguements come out of a silly discussion.

In Scotland it's simply A B C D with D being a fail, C being a bare pass, B being a good pass, and A being a pass with distinction. Or something.
So, Scotland > America > UK?
Scotland's a part of the UK. :(
I know. So it would Scotland > the rest of the UK. Just wasn't sure how to phrase it.
I didn't have any of those :( Just A B C D F
Well, technically it was all percentages, but yeah.
I don't think Canada has ABCDF until you hit university. At least my schools never did.
elementary did. for me anyways
Who else has school tomorrow? :(
What the hell was that avatar, anyway? My memory escapes me...
I went to my school to pick up my schedule. But I couldn't get in because they waxed the floors. Ah, I hope I can grab it tomorrow.
Hey you told me that lolz.
P.E. 4
Eng 12
Guided Instruction (just to do homework and such)
Money Math
Government
Art 4
That would be my class schedule. I only have Government for a half year so after that I'm taking Microsoft video or something.
I guess guided instruction is what my school calls flex. My flex is gay. We cant talk. :( There are hot girls in my flex though. :)
I got a teacher I dislike for guided instruction, but he would most likely let us do whatever we want.

That's why I chose it. I wanted a much easier senior year because I will have mostly all of my credits anyways. Plus I don't feel like dealing with hard math.
Last year I had cool teachers. I played hearts everyday.
O *** I might take calculus next year.
Well if you're good at math, go for it. If you're like me though... don't. I had no idea what they were doing. Plus, I tended to miss a lot of school so I'd come back and be all "WHAT THE **** IS A QUADRATIC FORMULA?"
I would say im ok at math. Im in algebra 2 now. Then next semester its trig. Then next year If I wanna think of taking Calc I have to take Precalc. I hate doubling up in math since its probably my second least favorite class. First being english.
I took geometry last year. I couldn't do it. I felt like a total douche because I was like the only Junior who was in the class and the rest were freshman. Then I switched out. I am horrible when it comes to triangles and finding what the missing number is.
But yeah I wanted an extra year of math so I took Money Math, something not at all hard.
[quote=The Hate;736302]First being english.
I actually like English.
Yea I sucked at geometry. It didnt help that my dike teacher didnt like to teach at all. All that happened is she tought for 10 mins, then she gave us an assignment out of the book, and the rest of the time was ours. Lol on the tests she only had 2 possible answers lol. God now that I think of it I miss that class lol.
I think I have to do calculus next semester. Not cool. :(
What a way to end ur high school years.
I liked English for the most part. Mainly because it doesn't rely on you learning a lot of material.
I just dislike it cause its boring. I really dont have to think hard in that class. I dont like to write about stupid topics that the state makes us write.
Oh, that would suck then. Creative Writing was boss though.
When we got to pick our own topic, I wrote a 12-page essay on the Internet, and still left out quite a lot that I wanted to say.
I actually just wrote a stupid essay yesterday. We had to write about if we could get rid of a law or make a new one what would it be. I just said get rid of guns cause it was easy to write about. Even though I think guns are awesome and everyone should have one.....except gangsters.

Why? Do all gangsters shoot their guns? How do you know they just don't have them to be intimidating? Why can normal people have them and not shoot them? HMMMMMM? Okay I'm kidding.
Anyway, English is my favourite subject, I love to read, I love to write and I actually do enjoy analysing literature and then writing papers on it. Except Senior English is more about speeches. Yuck, not my strong point. Ah well.
I hate math. I'm in Pre-Calc this year, but I hate it. I'll get a B. I always do. I've never gotten an A in math. And then my boyfriend makes fun of me by saying "ahaahahah I got an A in calculus aahahaha"
Then I turn him in for being black, as all black people commit crimes anyway.
Mine was like 700 people. Freshman year we started with like 1,000.
all I gotta say is we lost a lot of black people junior year.
Wait black person getting an A, you're LYING!! lol
I said we lost them.
That means they dropped out.
Which means they are going on welfare.
Which means my tax money has to support them.
Which means life sucks for me because I know where my taxes are going.
Yea lazy people suck.
Black people suck*
Lazy black people suck*. I should be quiet Sable is watching. :eek:

Politics, Philosophy and English are all you're taking? Do you only sit three A-Levels?
English Language and English Literature?
Are they separate courses in England? Whatever, I got an A in my English exams. :cool:
I have school tomorrow. I can't wait, but yet I don't want to go. Blah.
English Lang and Lit are two different A-Levels. I haven't been told which periods are which yet.
English and Lit aren't typically two separate courses there? Huh.
[quote=Vampiro V. Empire;739467]English and Lit aren't typically two separate courses there? Huh.
Here, it's all the one course. Final exam is three literature essays and a text analysis.
Gay. Here we had English, Lit, Creative Writing and something else I didn't take.
I had only two english courses to choose from, and some years french wasn't even offered to the english students. WTF.
School starts tomorrow.
It's weird for me, though. Every other year before the first day I'd be mad that it's starting because I didn't like it. Now it's just because I won't be able to sleep until 1 anymore.
I probably won't be able to sleep tonight. I can never sleep before the first day of school.
I know, it's like Christmas.
*squee*
Wow our school already started last wednsday for me. Hahah so much homework :|
school starting in august is ****ed up. It's always been past labour day here.
We always used to start the end of August. They changed that the last few years though, which meant that certain breaks were a few days shorter. I'd rather have a longer christmas/spring break actually, although starting in August is depressing.
I have to go in tomorrow for an Interview, then it officially starts on Thursday.
Im not going to school today cause im really tired. I didnt get alot of sleep this weekend.
