Whoa. This one is really old. I should stop starting long replies towards the end of lunch, as I have to leave to go to class in only a few minutes and then I lose what I've typed and then forget that I haven't responded. Oh well. Even though this is like 2 weeks old, I figure I'll reply back anyway because yay, talking about school.
Ours starts at 8:25.
Grr. No fair. We get out at 2:30. So not even that much earlier than you, and yet a whole hour earlier in the morning. Craziness. How many classes do you have a day? (Or how do they split up your day? Is it completely different than here?)
I've got 7 classes of 50 minutes each plus a 30 minute lunch and 5 minutes between classes (that you spend walking really fast to the next class as some of them are rather far away and when it's raining/snowing/really hot, it's hellacious outside). I don't have any idea how that ends up being 7 hours as I just mathed it and it's not, so I wonder where they're sticking this extra time to make us get out at 2:30. Curious.
Yeah I have to do that in winter, because I'm extra lazy when it's cold.
Oh, me so much too. It gets to where I'm like "Hey, let's wear the same shirt to school that I wore to bed so that it's already warm and I can just slip a bra on under it instead of exposing all that flesh to the cold air when I try to change the shirt. Sounds good."
I struggle to understand how some people can just... do it all so easily! Like, all their assignments and stuff!
Me too. It's pretty crazy. Even if you could, why would you want to? If I were to do all my homework to the best of my ability on time, I would not only be getting even less sleep at night but wouldn't have any time to do anything even remotely fun. (Which for me pretty much means watching House and random other shows and reading fic.)
I really dislike that subject. I just sit there and scribble random stuff during tests, and I still haven't handed in an assignment from last term!
Yeah. I do that too. There was a chemistry quiz from last quarter that I was supposed to make up but just never did. Teacher didn't bug me about it and I just forgot. I assume it got factored in to my grade last quarter, so it didn't hurt me too bad. I've given up trying to get an A in that class. Even if the math of my grades says I should get an A (as it did last quarter), the teacher won't give me one because she doesn't like me. Grr.
The closest class we've got to SOSE I figure is plain old history, which I loved last year but hate this year as our teacher is incompetent. I try to take notes, but it seems like he's not saying anything. For example. I didn't even keep all my notes together well at all until half way through the year last year, and yet just the pages I can scrounge up from the first semester and the pages I kept from second add up to about 80. With pretty much no spaces, as I refuse to waste paper in such a manner. This year, we're more than half way in to the first semester, probably about 1/3 into the year, and I have 4 pages of history notes. And most of that is just random facts that the teacher throws out that have nothing to do with the topic we're on such as the fact that there was a territorial miniwar between my state (Missouri) and Iowa over a bunch of land with honey trees on it. Pretty cool war. Like the Aroostook war. That's a fun one too. Maine and Canada over a bunch of logging land. /random history stuff
Only Bones now, seeing as House finished last week.
Huh? Oh, I suppose you're still on season 2 then. Hee. Yay, season two. Yay season three, for that matter. And yay season one also. We'll just say yay, House.
And then while you try to catch up you miss the NEXT thing the teacher is teaching and blah.
Exactly. I'm constantly doing that. That's one of the other reasons that I don't get as good of grades as I should.
