sorcyressSo, that's one week down, 40 or so to go...
Also: SEVEN MONTHS! EEEEEEEE!!!!*
So. This year I am taking seven courses. The original idea was that four of them would be light and fluffy electives.
...well...they're not. But I'm still enjoying myself, and I'm actually keeping up with the homework and everything! I think that I may actually get a 3.0 plus this quarter!! That is SO COOL!!
So, classes and whatnot, in order of the periods I have them.
First period: German II
...AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISIFUGISFJKNALDFLWFIIIG!
Sorry, I just REALLY needed to get that out of my system. The good news is that the German II class is smaller then the German I class from last year. The bad news is that we're now down to all but TWO of the people being total morons. GNARR!
The other scary news from that class is that it's all German, all the time. No English is to be spoken...ever. *pounds head against something* Do you know how FRUSTRATING that is? I don't even know how to say things in the past tense yet!! ARGLEGARGLEARGLEARGLE!
Alright, I'm good.
Good People: Shayla, who's been out all week since her grandmother died the night before school (EEK! The SUCKS!!) and Nik. Practically no one else is even tolerable.
Second period: Ancient and Medival History
A&M History is one of those electives that I expected to be nice and smooth and easy and fun. It's kinda still making up it's mind as to how easy it's going to be -we did get to do a fun archeology thing today, which was nice.
Hopefully, we'll get to learn about vikings sometime. I am so into that.
Good People: Anne, who is unfortunately sitting a couple rows behind me now (Blek on seating charts!) Alex, who is sitting next to Anne, and Becky, who I get to sit next to. *Ocassionally* last name seating all works out. (De and Du, for instance)
Third period: Calculus GT
EEEEK!
Heh...though Bernie has pointed out that if I abuse Sergai and the iSight that I *think* mom has, he can videoconference with me to help teach me calc if I need it. Which is sweet of him -dratted everyone moving to Boston. Why can't I joooooin them! I miss Bawston.
Personally, I certainly KNOW enough engineer/math/physics dorks to help me through calc if I fall behind. I just need to kick this stupid stubborn pride thing and actually ASK!
Good People: Steve-ahni. Really, that's about it. *tear*, but he's fairly amusing in an "I'm going to kill you all" sort of way.
Fourth Period-A: English 12 AP/GT
I'm actually REDICULOUSLY satisfied with this class. Maybe it's just having a somewhat decent English teacher after having to deal with Hickman for all of last year. *shudders* But it's really reeeeeally nice.
It's going to be a good class. We've got a book lover for a teacher (YAY!!) and we've already had some pretty cool discussions and whatnot. So it's good stuff.
Good People: Gingur-my and KT are both in my class (Am I the only one who sees that as a recipie for trouble?) as well as Tyler. And CYRANA! I got Mike in my english class for the LAST TIME EVER! *dances!!*
Unfortunately, no Anne. *tear* Ever since seventh grade, I've had her in with me for English. What'll I do now?
A day Lunch
We've had to claim a new table, since some st00pid frosh took ours. It's not really a good example of The Table. Just me, KT, Gingur, Tenuki, and Nik. I've been sneaking off to sit with Becky a bunch too.
Fourth period B: Stagecraft III
...I'm trying *so* hard to be an optimist about this class. But, well...she isn't Miss Barry. And she gave us bookwork to do today. ...AIG!!
But I like her well enough, and she is a girl scout, and I really just don't know...We will see. And I say that with every teacher who I don't get, but I really mean it this time.
Good People: ...um...it's STAGECRAFT! V, KT, Tyler, Nik, Gingur, Stephanie, Kendi, Jessie, Roony, Becky, Shayla...and someone else, but I can't for the life of me remember who. Oh, and Jessica Ashe, but we're not fond of her, so it's all cool.
B day lunch
Ahhhh. THIS is what I mean about The Table. This is *HOME!* This is where all the coolest of the cool people hang out.
....anddamn. I must to bed gehen. I will finish this for all you kats, kids, STG's, and kittens later.

MOOP!
*No, I am not pregnant. *looks at Anne* Ok, anymore then *usual*

on 2006-09-01 10:10 am (UTC)I'd suspect she has two types of days... "A" days and "B" days (or "odd" and "even" days like I had)
On "A" days you have one schedule of classes.
On "B" days you have a second schedule of different classes.
These two schedules alternate every day. My "A" days were on the even-numbered days and my "B" days were on the odd-numbered days, for example. It allows you to have longer class periods, rather than more frequent classes. This (in theory anyway) allows time for more discussions and deeper exploration of the topics at hand without a school day lasting 12-15 hours.
Both types of days should include a lunch period although they're usually not at the same time on both days.
When I was a kid lunch periods weren't mandated by law. Consequently, I had no lunch periods my senior year of high school (which ran from 7:05 am until 2:45 pm). I did have a "study hall" 8th period every other day. I never went. I cut it so I could go eat something and hang out in the auditorium with the people who I thought were my friends.

on 2006-09-01 11:55 am (UTC)Did the same thing in French class in high school - I would replace the French word I'd forgotten with a Latin word. My French prof figured it all balanced out.
