School

[MelonBread975]

Well, it's the start of a new school year for me. I'm liking it so far but it's going to make me really busy. At least I get to use my 3DS in the morning and during lunch.

school starts the day after tomorrow for me. one more day to focus completely on my 2nd playthrough on borderlands.
luckily, next year, 6 people from previous year are in my class and we're all at least friends, so no fear of being alone.

also while reading at cracked, i discovered some things that might help at school. gum stimulates memore, so it's a double win for me: i like gum and now i have a reason to chew it for when my  mom asks

instead of studying the day before a test, it's more useful to study 2 days before the test and let the info soak in for 24 hours

also when i'm 18, i'm going to try out that ubermann sleep schedule.

Nice. I'm not sure if gum is allowed in my school yet, but I'm probably sure it is. I have noticed that chewing gum makes things easier.

Also about that uberman sleep schedule looks awesome. I just read a lot about it. That seems like a great sleep cycle during summer break; but it could be very problematic during school. I wonder how easy it is to switch between the two sleep cycles. Most of the effects seem very positive and having a lot more awake time would be awesome. But why 18? Is it possible to do it during summer break?

school is... school.
the worst part is homework
especially when we have to COLOR.... -_-
really, i spent 2 hours straight coloring Africa. not fun.

[MelonBread975]

Wow intermediate school. I hated the homework too. It was so stupid. At least the homework is much more serious in high school. There's just more of it and it's much harder than before...

I have already been in school for a week and I'm getting used to it. First few days were horrible because I felt really tired and on the top of all the coffee machine at our school is broken.
Yesterday I was supposed to start studying Japanese online but they cancelled the lesson and moved it by a week. They also removed lessons from Mondays and shortened the lessons on Wednesdays. The course is going to last much longer which might be a good thing because I've much more time to actually study stuff and it won't stress me too much.

Why does everyone hate Japanese? My high school was considering having Japanese but they removed it...

@sirmidor What is Art Viewing

[sirmidor]

i honestly have no idea. it's a new class and i assume we'll look at art and review style and other things *yawn*.

[sirmidor]

wow your school ends early.

[MelonBread975]

My schedule:

Period            Class                                                      Time
1                    Tennis                                                      8:30-9:18
2                    World Geography Pre-AP                        9:24-10:17
3                    English I Pre-AP                                      10:23-11:11
4                    Algebra I                                                  11:17-12:05
5 semester 1  Communication Applications                    12:11-12:59
5 semester 2  Principals of Information Technology       
6                    Lunch                                                      13:05-13:53
7                    Symphonic Band I                                    13:59-14:47
8                    Biology Pre-AP                                          14:53-3:41

I arrive at school at 7:00 because of my parents having to go to work early. I get home around 16:10 because of traffic.
Also I would be Geometry I Pre-AP but I'm retaking Algebra I because I almost failed it last year and I think it would just be better for me to take another shot at it.

My school originally had an alternating schedule but now it's ever single period in one day because of stupid budget issues. Classes before would be 90 minutes long, and we wouldn't have every class every day.

Hi guys.

I'm not going to school because I'm homeschooled.
I had summer homeschool so nothing is really changing for me.

[sirmidor]

you don't have to answer this Wolfabe, but don't you feel like you miss out on all the fun at school. laughing in the break with friends. organizing events and being able to have fun in the classroom, by being able to talk to someone and laugh about jokes and stuff?

also, YAY, the charges of fraud against the philosophy teacher (the only philosophy teacher. he's a really nice guy. he makes jokes and is generally relaxed. jokily, we imagined the philosophy teach would just be a stoner with a giant bag of weed that he passes around during the class) have been dropped so the class will be there this year.

School has started for me, also (about a week ago, to be exact), so I won't be able to hang here quite much ( if you have noticed already), because the massive amount of homework. For example, we have to study over 200 different paintings and statues, their creators and the dates of the creation, plus which art style they present (No kidding). The teacher must think that our memory is unlimited. >-<
