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!

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.

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 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 )

Nah! Teachers aren't supposed to assign homework 'til the beginning of the third month.

What do you teach?

28 degrees Celsius = 83 degrees Fahrenheit...you're KIDDING!!!

Wow, that's a cool spell in Texas in the Summer. We topped out today at 101 degrees (about 38 Celsius).

But you'll probably laugh when I tell you that all schools in Denton close down when we get 1/2 inch (a little over 1 cm) of snowfall!
