For a large portion of the United States, as well as many other parts of the world, school starts this month (in fact, many are starting back this week.) For our HS and college members here, how do you feel about this? Are you excited/happy/sad/nervous/all of the above? Which classes are you looking forward to taking? Which ones are you least looking foward to attending? Are you looking forward to seeing your old friends once again, or meeting new ones?
Tell us about it here! ------------------ http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif |
My classes start next Monday, for my fourth year in college (but not a senior yet...I'm grooming to become the ultimate professional student.)
I'm not really looking forward to classes starting because I have a bunch of kinda lame ones - you know, the ones you have to take for some reason but really won't be interesting. I'm going to try and drop some of these for more classes in my field of study. ------------------ a bunch of long hairs. trux |
Well, I guess I am probably the only one here still in junior high, except maybe Grand Ranger, and I am going into 8th grade.
I am pretty much looking forwrd to school, I think it will be a fun year, but busy of course, with applying for high school. I however am NOT looking forward to getting up at 7. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif seeing as I wole up today at 11. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprinc...s/lioness1.jpg Sword Saint of the HADB Clan Waitress and entertainer at Cloudy's Cafe Lil' Angel :angelwings: |
no lioness, you arent the only one still in JH here. im going into 8th grade too, but im 14 (b@$tard OK school systems and transitional... i should be a sophmore in HS by now!). this is my third day back, and i already hate some of my teachers, and some of my teachers already like me. of course, im a bit disappointed that i cant stay up and be on the comp all night and then sleep all day... but then again, phooey on that cuz i get to be in jazz band!

Next Monday I go back to school. I'll be a senior in HS, and I am definitely *not* looking forward to it. My classes are cool. Algebra 2, AP English, Guitar,(My second year!) Physics, Drivers Ed, and two others. (I have no idea what they are as I still haven't gotten my schedule.) It's just the fact that the first few weeks of school are going to be HE*L. I've already told you guys about the sophmores who are skipping their junior year. There's definitely going to be some hostility, and I don't want to be involved!

If it's any cosolation to all of you students out there, teachers also wish summer wasn't over. I have so many things that I wanted to get done and didn't that I can't even begin thinking about what to plan for lessons. I guess I'll come up with something . . . After all, I have to assign homework by the second day http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif or I'll be a disgrace to my profession.

Lower Saxony has had school since 2 weeks already and I have formed a theory: the teachers are trying to kill us. I mean, FOUR long term homework assignments in the first week? 35 periods a week when all the other classses have 31? Good God! And everybody told me 10th grade wasnt any harder than 9th grade... *sigh* well only 3 years to go (Germany gets 13 years of school) and Id better get started on that homework for tomorrow - or is that today oops half past twelve oh well ill do it before school. THAT should tell you everything about my attitude towards school. Only good thing - it was so hot (for German standars, around 28 degrees celsius but humid)that we got free because of heat twice. HA HA HA!!! (of cours most of you dont have school yet http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/frown.gif )

To convert celsius to farenheit divide by 5 multiply by nine and add 32. Now why is it that if it's hot I can relate to Farenheit but at low temperatures I relate it to centigrade.

Well I have been out of High school for about 1 year. I have finished my first year of collage and it was F*@king easy. It is sort of an Engineering/drafting/building design course. I have many ideas on what to do with my life, but can not decide on one. Engineering looks cool, but piloting in the Air Force looks cool as well. So does architecture. If I join the military I could have them pay me to get my engineering degree and then have the chance to learn to fly. I am leaning towards that. Right now I am on my Co-op work term form my College course. Anyway all of you in high school are lucky, you have to worry about anything. But just wait till you are in the real world. Then you can start worrying.

I also have to disagree with "not worrying about anything" in HS...there's peer pressure, pressure to achieve, to get top grades, to excel in sports, to be popular, romantic attractions, not to mention threats like school violence, drugs in schools, etc. The best thing to do is make sure you have a good support group of friends. It's hard doing it alone. ------------------ http://www.wizardrealm.com/images/saz.gif [This message has been edited by Sazerac (edited 08-22-2001).] |

Be thankful you've got time to have breakfast before school http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif
The standard school over here starts at 7.20 Students have to be in by 7 to sing national propaganda and recite the pledge http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...les/tongue.gif Average waking time is any time from 5-6.30 depending on how close you live to school http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif I've always wondered what it would be like to see the sun while I'm still home eating breakfast.. ------------------ Resident Lurker Guy |
Well, here, we had to apply for high school even if we were originally from the school's grade school... it is a private school... our class starts at 7:40 a.m. and ends at various times relatively 4:00 p.m. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif

Well there's only one school here since we only have about 90 people in HS. School starts a 7:30 and gets out at 2:32. I guess we're pretty lucky huh?

Well I just received a sad reminder of what a total screw up I used to be!
My G.E.D. test scores to enroll in college on Monday. I passed with a "C" average LOL and I distinctly remember why...going to night school with my uncle, stoned out of my gourd, and getting distracted by his love of our teacher who had big breasts and wore low cut dresses. I never laughed so hard for so long in any other type of school setting, I swear, we are both lucky that we made the passing grades! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no.../hollering.gif Before I quit school, I was in the top 5 percentile nationwide and made the honor roll regularly. Kids, "Just Say No" really means something! Take that to heart! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif Well, wish me luck! It has been 15 years since I have gone to school (tech school) and this time I have goals that when I attain them, won't hold me back by keeping me in school for the rest of my life to keep up with progress! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif P.S. Am I scared? You better believe it! But I have a lot of confidence in myself and so do the people around me. http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif I am really looking forward to going! ------------------ http://members.aol.com/lasttrueprincess/images/ltp4.gif You know childhood is over when a puddle seems like an obstacle instead of an opportunity.

I remember that bit about the pledge (i used to live in the US). I always crossed my fingers http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...miles/wink.gif . And about seeing the sun - we live relatively far north here - in the summer the sun rises at, oh, something like five oclock in the morning (im never up to see it all I know is that when I get up at 6, its risen) and it gets dark at 10. However, in the winter its dark for the first couple of periods and once, when i was biking home from school at around 4 (afternoon lessons - i hate them) the sun was setting. Takes getting used to. However, those of you who live in northern Scandinavia will laugh at my pitiful account - i was in southern Sweden this summer, the sun set at ELEVEN OCLOCK [This message has been edited by Kaz (edited 08-23-2001).] |
bumping, same reason as above (ill continue this till the middle of september or until someone tells me to stop)
|
ok, i have to get to school by 8:00, but since my bro takes me most days i have to wakt up tat 6:45 so hes not late for marching practice. i stay there from about 7:30-3:00, with only 5 minutes between classes and about a 30 minute lunch. classes are 50 minutes each, and we go about a total of a couple of days over the government-required amount. so i have about 190 days, when the actual min is 180, and i dont have nearly enough sleep cuz i hafta go to sleep at 10:45 to get the full 8 hours, like THATS ever gonna happen!
------------------ It's simple. Once the Planet is hurt, it gathers Spirit Energy to heal the injury. The amount of energy gathered depends on the size of the injury...What would happen if there was an injury that threatened the very life of the Planet? Think how much energy would be gathered! Ha, ha, ha. And at the center of that injury, wil be me. All that boundless energy will be mine. By merging with the energy of the Planet, I will be come a new life form, a new existence. Melding with the Planet, I will cease to exist as I am now.

To reply to earlier questions,
I teach High School English and coach Debate. This year my teaching assignment is 4 classes of Speech (public speaking) and 1 class of Composition (writing essays). And Yorick, I'm fine. School's starting and I'll be around a bit more. Gotta do something fun during my lunch hour! http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...iles/smile.gif |
YAHOO!! School stopped because of heat AGAIN!! Hottest day so far this year I think (29 degrees celsius http://www.ironworksforum.com/ubb/no...es/biggrin.gif). If it hadnt I wouldnt have come home till 2 hours... oh... ive already been on this forum for two hours... time sure flies. Oh and by the way - bump.

Man our school better be glad we don't get out early for heat. We'd be home early everyday! You're lucky Kaz. No when it floods there's a different story. Nobody likes walking around in highwater. That rarely happens though, and we don't have to make up those days either!

I actually finished my last year of Secondary School in 2000 and have been working as a civil servant for the past year, to pay for what comes next. On September 22nd I will be moving to Wales and starting University (college in America) where I will be studying a Drama degree. To be honest, I'm nervous as hell. I leave all my old friends behind me, as nobody I know is attending the same place. It will be a very strange experience, but one that I most certainly look forward to, especially after a year working. Anyways - good luck to all who've posted here. I wish you well in your studies!
