in August 11th, 2006 @ 13:36For starters, there’s a good “how to do homework” discussion on the original Muse How-Tos thread, which includes my own unique advice about How to Make Boring Classes and Assignments Interesting.

in August 11th, 2006 @ 17:17My school starts 5 September, incidentally Freddie Mercury’s 60th birthday. ATYP starts the day after, hopefully I’ll be with at least one of my friends….Because of ATYP and my martial arts class I’m going to be soooooooo busy this year (compared to last year, I guess). Last year homework was a breeze and I had absoultely no extra-ciricular activities. Now that I think about it….Last year was my final easy school year. After ATYP, its four years of KAMSC and I’ll be keeping up my martial arts class. From there, its college, hopefully in Toronto.
I’m depressed. Those three blissful months of probation can’t be ending so soon….It seems like just yesterday I was thinking that I still had over a month left – and even that was scary. I wanna shrivel up and cease to exist….*whaaaaaa*

Or something like that. I’m gonna be freshman, so all the older kids will pretend I’m an imbecile even though I’m actually smarter than them.

Eccentric the Afterthought
in August 11th, 2006 @ 20:44I start September fifth, much to the envy of all of my friends, who start on August fifteenth. But even with the extra free time, summer is over too fast! I’ve been so busy I’ve hardly had time to read. I’m not looking forward to having to schedule my days around homework soon.

in August 11th, 2006 @ 22:22I start the 17th of August. Less than a week of freedom, and then I’m back in the jug agane.
7(Veralidaine)- I am skipping freshman year. But then all the seniors/juniors will just pick on the sophomores instead (I’m going to a 10-12 school), so it’s not like I’m getting something wonderful out of it. Except there aren’t any lockers, so I don’t have to worry about being stuffed into one.

in August 12th, 2006 @ 10:017- hmm, that didn’t happen last year to me.. see, what you need to do is find your little “niche” and your gang of people to hang out with.. For me it was the math/science/orchestra geeks.. And then within that group there wasn’t any pulling rank or anything (although a lot of seniors seemed to think I was their little sister, probably since they’ve known me since I was about 6.. so I got a few ice cubes thrown at me while they were setting up the Interact ice cream selling table, etc, but they still respected me or something..)

in August 12th, 2006 @ 11:08I have the dubious honour of starting on the 8th of September or some equally ungodly early date.
Most of my friends have moved to the high school. This also means that I am now in charge of the evil plan of annoyance, disturbance, and general chaos. I have the feeling that this is going to be a bad year. Sigh…

in August 12th, 2006 @ 14:06& Penty – I know where you’re going to school! I won’t say it on the Museblog, because the GAPAs wouldn’t like it, but I considered going there too (albeit briefly) & I’ve heard lots of good things about it. It was too far away for me to get there by myself, so I just applied to the Selective Enrollment ones in Chicago and some IB programs instead. Hmm.

in August 12th, 2006 @ 20:16I’m curious about some technicalities, namely, school supplies. I know I’m very particular when it comes to stationery. Are you? Do you have a favorite type of pen, binder, assignment notebook, backpack, etc.?

Bellatrix Lestrange
in August 12th, 2006 @ 20:32When it comes to pens, i absolutely REFUSE to use a ballpoint pen.
I like Rollerball pens, y’know, the kind that the ink just kind of runs out as soon as the pen touches the paper.
my binder is more like a briefcase- it’s got two pockets instead of one, a nice leather handle, and a shoulder strap.
as to backpack, I want a messenger bag but my parents are making me use the pack from last year.
for paper, i like to use wide ruled pads of paper. that way, i can write normally (big) or, if i’m taking notes, i write tiny kind-of shorthand. I mean, it looks like shorthand but actually it’s not.

in August 12th, 2006 @ 21:35I like erasable pens. Even though they do smudge a bit. And I always hav to hav a few games on my calc, Hehe *nerdy laugh*. I usually play Dino Puzzle. It’s kinda like Tetris.

in August 12th, 2006 @ 21:46I love ink-pens (the ones with the smeary ink!) but they’re expensive, so I don’t usually use them at school. I write neater when I use them, but slower too, so I usually use regular pens for notes etc.

KZA Pentatonikk
in August 13th, 2006 @ 00:5923 (Zallie)- It’s supposed to be a really awesome school, but I’m kind of nervous. Today we went shopping for dorm supplies, which was…eh. Scawy. I don’t have a laptop, so I doubt I’ll be able to go on Museblog as much when school starts.
26 (OEAD)- I can only use college-ruled paper. Wide-ruled drives me crazy because the spaces are too big and I waste paper that way. But I prefer typing anyway. I hate ballpoint pens, but I end up using them regardless. Blue is better than black in this case. And far better than green, red, or purple. I refuse to use non-mechanical pencils. Sharpening drives me insane. (More so than usual, anyway.)
29 (GIM)- Dino Puzzle pwns. Oh yes.

in August 13th, 2006 @ 07:12I usually use pencils for everything. You’ll rarely see me with a pen in my hand. I also only use college-ruled because I write REALLY small and wide ruled gets annoying that way. I like mechanical pencils…especially for tests, etc. because you don’t have to waste time sharpening them.

in August 13th, 2006 @ 08:38(32), Purple Panda, I recall you said you’re ambidextrous. Do you write mostly with your left or right? I hated pencils in school because of the perpetual graphite smudge down the side of my hand and wrist. Ick. And then my assignments would be all smudgy as well, and I’d get nasty little notes from teachers.

in August 13th, 2006 @ 10:02i have this old but apparently very durable messenger bag with an incredibly froody fish saftey pinned to the front. as for binders- i don’t like them very much. dunno why. i mosly use notebooks with handy perforated pages. pens- i like ballpoint ones. i don’t like gel pens because they smear too much. mechanical pencils are quite cool, and i use them in classes where erasing is likely (math, science, art). wide rule pared is incredibly annoying. i can fit about four lines of my writing comfortably into one wide-rule line, so i always use college rule.

in August 13th, 2006 @ 11:25Woah, I haven’t been on for a few days…
I start tomarrow. The 14th.
I’m very particular about school supplies. I wanted to free my self from the curse of binders this year. In concept, binders are great, but in reality, they just mean ripped holes, papers that aren’t hole punched, papers that you can’t be bothered to attatch into the rings, broken rings, and many more hazards. But. alas, many of my teachers require them, so it is not to be.
I agree that college ruled is better than wide ruled.I’m going to be very busy this year because of marching band. My high schools marching band is the biggest in… a certain large are which I will not name…. by at least 80 people. And my directors an mad woman. It’s hard work. Practices are twice a week and all day on most saturdays.
We’re going to march in the Macy’s Day Parade this year, so they’re being even stricter.And I’m one of only 2 freshman in my Spanish class, so that is fun…

in August 13th, 2006 @ 11:54Slant-ring binders are much better than the ones with circular rings. Once I discovered them, I never went back.
How about book covers? Do you buy ready-made ones, or make your own? I always had good results with paper bags, but that may be like saying I went to school by horse-and-buggy (which I didn’t).
Finally, a hypothetical question: if Muse were to go into the school-supply business, and if you were on the design team, what kinds of new products would you dream up?
(Again, it’s a hypothetical question. As far as I know, the magazine has no plans to branch out into school supplies.)

in August 13th, 2006 @ 15:3233 – I really write with either hand. It sometimes depends on where I’m sitting. In Math class last year I sat next to someone who was a lefty, and I sat on the left of him, so if I used my right hand our elbows would be constantly hitting eachother. I used my left hand in Math Class. I’m a bit stronger with my right hand, though, but which hand I use really depends on the day/class/hour/minute/….

in August 13th, 2006 @ 15:35So today i totally got the desk parentals have been promising. It’s pretty froody-only $49.99 (yay for sales! It was originally $80) and it has lotsa kewl little shelves and whatnot. Nice. Just so y’all know, that’s my back-to-skool shopping. Sure i got some binders and notebooks and a new backpack too. Those don’t count. Oh and i got 60 pencils cuz the way i figure, if i only bring like 10 to skool i’ll lose them in the first 10 days, then the next and so on, that’ll last for 60 days, at which time i can steal lb’s. Last year i ran out sooo fast…oh and i probably owe some people too…anyway. Oh yeah and gave lb a whole bunch of books so i have space to buy more. Lots more. I gave him like 15.
So if muse did back-to-skool stuff…pens with little pie flingers on the end! You can buy the mini pies and fling them around in the hallways. Complete chaos. *evil cackle*
But seriously, i think cheap, small laptops with textbooks installed that can hook up to any printer. Just really basic stuff-word, internet access (yay for wiki!), mebbe some type of planner or calendar? and the textbooks of course. a calculator. graphing program mebbe. a skool email program? doesn’t need much memory or anything. Cheap, cheap, CHEAP! Bye-bye, Mr. Backpack! omg i would be SO happy if somebody were to make something like that…and the skool did it of course…it would make me a happy person.
After that, who needs skool supplies?

Lizzie
in August 13th, 2006 @ 15:3829- haha, I now have at least 9 games on my calculator- Mario, Tetris, Falldown, Fasttunnel, Phoenix, Phantom, slimeball (which is like pong), this weird submarine game, probably some others that I can’t remember, and the ones that came with the calculator (blockdude, some dinosaur eggshell one, and two others)…
I usually use college ruled paper, regular, non-mechanical pencils (at school- at home I use this nice really good mechanical one, but the ones I take to school tend to break/get lost so I just stick with regular pencils), pink pearl erasers (I name mine. All of the pink pearls are named Lenny. One colorific one I had once that actually didn’t work that well was named Manny, but the others are all Lennys.), a file folder-style binder, (I’ve tried to find a nice, all-cloth one because the plastic accordian pleats tend to tear, but so far I haven’t been able to.. does anyone know of one?) (I used to use ring binders but the rings always break for me and also then you have to deal with papers that aren’t punched, etc, and it just got to be too much of a nuisence.. but it is easier to find papers in one) regular pencil pouch, sharp pointy scissors, and of course my TI83+ Silver Graphing calculator, with the aformentioned games..
36- I buy ready-made cloth bookcovers, since they tear less and don’t come off and stuff.. And I buy the cheap, non-patterened kind also so it’s easy to find my books since everyone else has fancy, patterened, shiny ones…
In what way are slant-ringed binders better? What are they, anyway?

Sweet Melpomene
in August 13th, 2006 @ 16:19Supplies….I prefer pencils to pens. And with pens I only use black. And college ruled notebooks. With firm back covers. I hate the flimsy ones. And my olde, beat-up messenger bag.
<rant>
I really don’t want to go back to school. Seriously, everytime some person asks me if i like it my reply is usually, “it’s fine,” but it is beyond dull. My classes are boring, so I don’t want to bother studying, so I only do okay. As in low As. And the administration is so messed up. They wouldn’t let me in AP Chem. Honours Chem last year was my BEST CLASS. I got signed in, but I’M NOT A BLOODY SENIOR. Forget that half of the seniors weren’t doing as well as I was. Some of the people in my class couldn’t even add up the numbers of electrons in atoms. And Theology class [combined with an idiocy called Christian Service; because only Christians do community service] is [IMHO] a waste of life. We don’t even have proper debates/discussions. And Junior Research and Communications is pointless. I NEVER outline my speeches. It messes me up. I just learn the material and improvise. BUT APPARENTLY IT IS THE INCORRECT METHOD. And Spanish is also pointless. The teachers are, to put it simply, incompetent [sp?]. I don’t know how it is even possible to fail such a class. And the math people stuck me in Alg2/Trig. Not even Stats. Maybe I’ll call the school and ask to skip my junior year. That sounds like an okay idea, yes? *sigh*

curious and questioning
in August 13th, 2006 @ 16:47I color-code my binders. Usually, we get a list of what supplies are needed for each class.
If Muse made school supplies I would want each color of binder/folder/notebook to have a picture on it. Like, Urania on purple, hot-pink bunny on black. Also, vinyl doesn’t rip, so it’s much better for folders and notebook covers, though you can’t write on it.

I like the binders that are meant to be folded in half (so you can write on them; kinda use them as a desk. V convenient…sp?)

40 (SM)- Aww, how horrible.
You make me glad I’m not going to my local high school, which is also horribly bureaucratic. Grr. Let’s make a petition for you to skip your junior year and send it to your principal! Power to the people!1. Kuai Zi Angel Pentatonikk

This year, I have Band(every day at school(which means no study hall) and all the football games), Tennis(4 days a week plus meets, I’m supposed to be comited 100%) and Ice Hockey(now a 45-50 min. drive from home, 4-5 nights a week, practices about an hour, we have to be there an hour ahead of time for games. So I’d be gone 3 hours for peractices and 4 hours for games), which I have been playing for years.

Quintessentia
in August 15th, 2006 @ 19:10I went to Wal-Mart today to get some school supplies. The expeditition, which also included non-school items, took two hours. I should have brought another snack and more water. Perhaps a tent as well.
Heh…this summer, I get up at 8 or 9 every morning. This means that after my morning run and shower, I’m eating breakfast at 10:30 or 11. So I’m not hungry at lunchtime, but at three o’clock I am starving and eat things. Then I’m not hungry for dinner.
I forget what courses I’m taking. I haven’t gotten my schedule or list of supplies yet, either. I have no idea what I’m doing. And this is my third new school in three years. At least I’ll be here for four years, since it’s my freshman year.

I could have managed the math/science nerdiness, but I don’t think I would have enjoyed it very much. BUT, I have a friend at a similar school in NC and she’s just as much of an English nerd as we are and she’s loving her school.

(56) Aww, that’s rough… High School seems like it’d be easier to start new in though, somehow. -is nonsensical-
(55) Oh you poor overworked child. This is why I don’t do sports, I’d just end up killing myself or something.
My idiot school inisists on not giving us our schedules until the FIRST DAY of school. So I have to sit and rot away with worry until then. I never get in my friends’ classes…Sigh.
It seems like a lot more MBers are going into High School this year.

in August 16th, 2006 @ 17:57so i got my textbooks today…*dies* my english book is HUGE! i’m hoping we don’t have to bring that one home much. history’s the second biggest…then the rest are the usual completely unreasonable textbook size. Mom’s buying most of them online. She’s on a posture craze. She’s determined to make me stand up straight. Ok with me, i have less to carry home. Especially since i’ll probably walk a lot more than last year.
our schedules have been on centerpoint, so i pretty much know what i have and who with.

in August 16th, 2006 @ 21:22Haha. I heard from someone today that my Stats teacher always comes to class 20 min late, talks for about ten min, and then lets ppl roam.
And I was afraid I wouldn’t hav a slack-off class this year…
Extracurriculars…I’m def not taking any sports, but I’m going to hav voice lessons, plus Chorale (Which does a lot of stuff outside of skool), and I might be in the Thespian club. Fun.

in August 17th, 2006 @ 10:51Okay, I’m still depressed at not being in the smae classes with my friends but had an idea. So, all us Musebloggers print out a couple of those Kokopellihedrons and take ’em to school. There, we place them stratigicly around the halls, on the school buliten bored, all that stuff. Put a star or circle or somthing on all the ones you hung up so you know it’s yours. Once that’s done, when ever you walk throught the halls to class or somthing, say you spot a kokopellihedron that you didn’t put up. That means there’s another Muser at you’re school. If you come across oe of these, write “PWT PWNS” Under neath the Kokopellihedron. If someone’s writen it on yours, put your locker number and a class period on the back. Then try too meet each other in the passing period before that class at your locker, and lo! You’ve met a new friend.

in August 17th, 2006 @ 21:35My younger brother (Harry) is thinking about starting public school sometime soon. I can’t understand why. Homeschool is so much more relaxed. The teacher can focus their attention more on you, and you don’t have to get up at some un-holy hour.
I’ve only gone to public school once.
A cooking class.
There’s a chance I might do it again, and take Harry with me.
I go to public school to make freinds.Since I don’t live in the city, and our house is sort of out in the middle of the woods, I don’t really have any freinds.
That’s why I like this place so much.
I’ll probably never see any of you (unless they decide to have a Muse Convention) but you’re all good freinds anyway.

in August 17th, 2006 @ 23:56Yeah, virtual friends are cooler anyway… (well not necessarliy but whatever).
I start an hour later than last year. 8:30 instead of 7:30. But because of the stupid bus schedual, I don’t actually get to sleep in at all. And I get home late too…around 4:20.
I love my writing/lit class! My teacher is such a weird, funny, acedemic-y sort of person. He’s into poetry and such. I kind of want to ask him if he’s ever read Muse… or I could just be sneaky and leave a kokopelihedron with a sign that says “koko was here” on his desk. That would be fun.
Indeed.

36-A ready-made schoolbook cover? Um. OK. I’m sure it exists in the Kingdom of Robert Coontz. Yeah. If you can’t cover your binder in brown paper like the rest of us, you have ish. Cornflake ish. If Muse did school supplies, I would expect them to have Muse cartoons and be inventive. A Kokopelli pencil case with side compartments, or a divider (to keep pencils from leading everything up.
83-I meant “the guy who served it to me.” Hey, I just came back from a fam. reunion. It was bilingual-French and German were spoken, I was the youngest person there, and my grandfather’s secretary accidentally swore at me. Her German isn’t that great.
We have mandatory “organizational kits” to buy. They’re expensive, wasteful, and they don’t organize. They use up time and money, and they’re not very well made, as they break and snap and wear and tear. Ugh! This year Veefie gave me a Harvard assignment notebook, which is a very silly gift. Veefie’s my father’s cousin. She’s half-German, half-British, six foot three, platinum blonde, and really, really nice.

in August 22nd, 2006 @ 10:46My hours are 8:34 to 15:20.
I would not want to be homeschooled. Both of my parents work full-time and travel a lot. I come home and there’s a note pinned to the door-“Have gone to Zurich (or somewhere) for business vacay, Hotel ___ (phone #) back Thurs. at latest. Try Thai restaurant take-out, ____ have fun.” Also, they have a habit of writing something down in several different languages, and doing things like being absentminded and dumping our dirty laundry in a refrigerator, not the washing machine. I say ‘a refrigerator’ because we currently have four fridges and three freezers. My mother works in food. Being homeschooled, I would stay home, probably by myself, all day, and have a patchy little education. I don’t mind going to school.
I weighed my backpack every day when I came home from school last year. Average weight-forty-five pounds. And I walked. Both ways.

Ditto, your highness. And what a magnificently appropriate quote that is. Up way too early, off to homeroom, moved from the lovely, spacious library with our hero nolan, who buys us doughnuts, to ryan’s cramped little math room with psychotic little desks and teacher who would never even think to get doughnuts and who makes us shut up during announcements. *sigh* Then to honors english, with more crampings. Practically everybody i know is in that class. It’s at least 25 people, if not more, v. small room and not enough desks. Plus the teacher is obsessed with the writing process and prewriting and all that, which i despise. And i’m doing Lord of the Flies for the third freakin’ time already! I hated that book when i first read it, but now…i still hate it. Ho hum. Then off to Journalism, which roxxez my soxxez-Horger’s really cool (she’s in book club) and phillipe, jacob, and andy-the-once-again-hairless are in my class. Big room too, so i finally get to spread out a bit. Then AP US history which is AWESOME! We only have 12 people in the class! and chappelle’s pretty funny too. Then band, where we get to trample the 8th graders off the football field so we can do pregame 304873904829034870870882374089327 times and bounce on the new turf (yes-the new turf bounces! It’s only like 3 strips of new stuff, cuz some idiots burned it last year. Jacob’s betting $20 that somebody’s gonna trip. As far as i know, no takers yet) After that, lunch in The Hallway, which has suddenly gotten very loud and crowded. The freshmen we’re friends with came (yes, we’re friends with some freshmen, the shame, but it doesn’t count if these people’ve been friends since like elementary skool, and i don’t count cuz i just moved last year when they were 8th graders) and a few others who weren’t around last year ate there. I know pretty much everybody, but a lot of them i know only as a vague, nodding aquaintance. Anyhoo, then i have biology. I hate the bio teacher, she’s so much like pautsch, it’s scary. Really overenthusiastic and yet utterly unhelpful. I doubt i’ll learn much from her. Math’s ok, phillipe and courtney are in my class, so better than last year. But by then the teacher was like “Ok i have a seating chart in alphabetical order…” and i was like OMGOMGOMGOMGKILLMENOW because EVERY SINGLE FRICKIN TEACHER HAS A FRICKIN SEATING CHART IN FRICKIN ALPHABETICAL ORDER!!!!!! And i’m always at the front!!! Only exceptions are journalism, no seating chart, band (dur), and latin (no seating chart). Latin is amazing, dur, it’s doc, what more can i say. There are a couple freshies who took latin 1 with pautsch for 2 yrs in middle skool (so sorry), 3 of whom i know from band. Of last year’s high skool latin 1, Ida, Mitchi, and Sari left, everybody else stayed. The only other person i really know in the class besides Josh now is Shayna, my crazy-good freshie (she’s in my squad, which makes her mine. Freshies are close enough to slaves anyway. of course she’s shared amongst me, david, and molly. Andy’s in the squad, but nobody listens to him, david and i are kind of “whatever, we don’t care” and so molly’s the only one that really ever makes her do anything. Molly takes over all the girl trumpet freshies whether they’re in her squad or not. Anyway, enough on band geek politics, i’m ending my rant now) So latin rocks, all together not a bad schedule. I have like 6 classes with Leah though, and in a fit of celiaesque paranoia, i’ve decided she’ll hate me by the end of the year. We’re not really bestest friends (she’s really hard-core theater, and i’m not so much, i’m more band), but we get along. Anyway, rant about skool over now, off to sleeeeep!

Bellatrix Lestrange
in August 22nd, 2006 @ 16:21beware several rants:
so today I went to registration, and it was soooooo disorganized! It LOOKED organized, but it so wasn’t. there were supposedly five stations. but there were four. they had signs for each station, but at the station 3 sign, there was station four, and station 5 didn’t even have a sign so i had to spend like 15 frikin’ minutes trying to find station 5 when it turns out that the principal is actually station 5.
my school is being so dumb. I’m a freshman, but i tested into advanced algebra during summer school, but I want to get into trigonometry, but I was only 3 points off. so on my schedule it says that i’m going into advanced algebra, of couse, so i ask the principal how i can test into trig and he launches into this LECTURE on how i might not have a class in junior/senior year because they only have a temporary advanced calculus teacher this year and i’m thinking “Dude, I don’t even WANT to take math in my final years! I want to take Trig, so that in my final years I can focus on MUsic!”

in August 24th, 2006 @ 10:53(94) Ebeth, alphabetical seating isn’t always bad news. My freshman homeroom class was arranged alphabetically. None of us Ls & Ms knew each other starting out, but between biology labs and marathon games of rummy during assembly periods, we got to know each other very well. The girl who sat behind me quickly became my best friend, and she just as quickly decided she would one day marry the boy seated next to her. They’re still together.

Kuai Zi Angel Pentatonikk
in August 24th, 2006 @ 12:46Penty officially loves her school. She wishes Zallie were here, though, because then she’d know a Muser and it would be froody. But she’s made lots of friends, some extremely insane and all quite wonderful. She ought to introduce them to Muse sometime, or at least Museblog. You’d get along.
The classes are great, really interesting, even the humanities ones, which are, of course, the ones Penty’s interested in. (Lots of commas there.) The teachers are cool; she has very few textbooks, and less homework than she would at her local school. She also has a very nice roommate and a bunch of demented squid pictures stuck around her room. So she’s happy.
Even though the band teacher is a sadist and is making her play first bassoon on some very evil music indeed, and her classes start at 7:30 and end at 3:50. She has breaks, though, so she does not really mind the latter.
If any of y’all live in Illinois, you should definitely consider Penty’s school. It’s awesome.

My school runs on a tri system. This tri, non of my classes are really interesting exept for Spanish. I lurv spanish. but…I SIT NEXT TO A PERVERTED BUSYBODY IN SOCIAL STUDIES!!!!! He got a firework blown up in his face this summer. He deserved it.
Second tri is probably the best, because the only core class I have is Honors English, and I have a study hall right after that. And then ART! I lurv art as well.
I don’t know if there are anly musebloggers at my school. Maybe we should put stuffs on our stationary…

in August 24th, 2006 @ 20:58Well, so far High school sucks for me. Why, you ask?
And even if you didn’t ask to bad cause I’m going to
tell you anyway. Let us review my day:period one- honors Global history. Not to bad, the
teacher seems nice enough. However, I am not a SSS
person. Too many iThis was probably one of the better
periods, though.period two- honors Geomitry. Well, I sit in the very
front. Not just the first row, but the one ahead of
it. And it’s right in front of the teacher. Plus, no
one else is on either side of me(Lianna is behind me
though. My one comfort). So I’m stranded. Then, when
we went to get our books(by row), I come back and look
at my chair(thankfuly) and find someone has placed a
tac on it. This does not seem like a good omen. *sigh*period three- hnors English. This seemed okay, the
teacher was nice enough. A bit creppy, though… but
not mean or anything. I sat next to Lianna, who I have
decided to make in charge of my sanity sence it’s no
good sticking it on me. *gives L sanity* I won’t be
needing this back.period 4- spanish. not to bad, but there’s no one I
know there. at all. Plus it’s in the D-wing, so I have
literaly to sprint to my locker and then to lunchperiod 5- Lunch. I arived out of breath, having just
ran from spanish on the other side of the school. I
sat at a table in the middle with L, who almost got
food spilled on her head. Tomarrow we plan to sit on
the stage so our back’s arn’t facing anyone. It’s like
a war zone.bewteen lunch and bio- I went to my locker, got my
stuff, fiddled with my binder for a few seconds, then
me+L realized there wasn’t a bell and we should start
to go. we were walking, met upp with Paula. She asked
us where bio was, and L and I realized we didn’t know.
So we ran down to the d-wing, realized it was the
wrong way, ran down to about the commens, still the
wrong way, used the hallway I’d thought was a short
cut but hadn’t wanted to risk before, and finally,
exausted, stumbled into our classroom.period 5b- Biology. Got a lecture after ariving late
in class. She doesn’t tolerate “I got lost.” She’s not
a good teacher, I can tell. v. morbid. Meh. And I like
science too.period 6b- study hall. Don’t worry, I won’t rant about
it too much. I explained most of it allready. Just two
things- one: I know only 2 1/2 people there. two:
there’s a seating chart.period 7- band. Not much to say really. It was okay.
period 8- Gym. Again, not much to say. We just got a
long dull lecture on no stealing and stuff.Now. You probably think my lovely day ends there,
don’t you? But oh no. That’s just the begining. Now,
we move ahead to tennis practice.So, we’re supposed to get our uniforms from the head
coaches ofice. Or was that tomarrow? No one remembers,
but we settle on today. Then, none of us know where
the coaches ofice was, or anything for that matter. So
I’m stab=nding with another girl, glad I’m ot alone
and I have to go to the bathroom, and when I get out
she’s gone too. SO I go down to the sports
administration ofice and ask them where tennis is, and
they make an anoucement butno one ansers, and make
another anoucement but still no one asers, so then
sugest I run down to Osage park(cause the high school
courts are under construction), so I run halfway there
before I have to walk(I’m at the bend in the road just
before the middle school).
Then, this kid on a bike truns so he can cross
the street, and a car comes around the corner and hits
his bike(just the back end) he falls down, the lady
gets out of the car and is all
“areyouallrightohmygoshi’msosorryIdidn’tseeyouohmygoshsSOMEONE
CALL 911!! So a lady comes out of the house, and
bikekid is all like “no it’s okay i’m fine,” but he’s
holding his head and from what I saw it was pretty
likely he was cuncussed. so they call 911, and I keep
going sence I was late for tennis as is, and a few
min. later the cop car and moter cycle and ambulence
and another truck with lights roll by(they were all
about 100 yards down he road, actually). So I get to
the tennis courts, and by this time I’m really tired
from all that running, plus I’d gotten a cramp and so
I’m no to pleasesed to see that there are only a few
seniors there, and one coach. The’re all like “where
is everyone?” And I tell them I don’t know, and
another senior pulls up in their car and says “Hey,
did you all get you’re uniforms?” So I ended up
driving back to the high school with them, and there’s
the ambulence and cops and stuff, and hey say “I
wonder what happened?” So I told them I saw a kid get
hit by a car and the’re like “WHAT?!”
So when we finally get to the middle school aand
figure out where the uniforms are, I end up having to
have to get an extra large skirt and a large, old
shirt leftover from last year cause I’m so late, and
by this time I bet you’ve guessed that Ive got a
pretty bad headache. So when people asked what was
wrong all I would say is “I have a headache,” and no
one had any asprin and the nurse had left. So then
after all that I walk all the way back to Osage and
practice. That part went okay, probably he best part
of my day.So. High school sucks.
*sigh* Sorry for the rant, but I had a lot to rant
about.

Sweet Melpomene
in August 25th, 2006 @ 09:32Poor JS! Some schools are just brutal. That tack [or pen-cap] on the seat is one of the more annoying things. I didn’t know anyone in most of my classes. Well, I did know, like, two, but, because of alphabetical seating, we sat nowhere near each other. I’m on my third HS. And I don’t have many [non-virtual] friends. Bio teacher sounds mean. It’s just horrible when mean teachers ruin cool subjects. I have a friend who got stuck with a huge tennis skirt for a while. Which sucked because she’s about a size -1000. I’d be completely freaked if I saw some kid get hit by a car. Take a nap!
School for me now does not start until Wed. But my schedule is pretty cool. Only four classes each sem. But they’re reeeeeeally long. And art isn’t until last period, sem. 2. And I still don’t have a locker. Not goode.
But I’m going to be in this program called “Gifted” which is pretty much a legit reason to cut class. Farewell, English!
Oh, no. Mi madre is home. Will continue later!

in August 26th, 2006 @ 11:32Ehhh…
Yesterday in study hall before we changed to different asigned seats, I wasn’t doing anything because I’d have to get up and move son, so I listened to the conversation bewteen the guy next to me and the guy next to him.Here’s the conversation-Guy next to me- Sup?
Guy next to him- Not much.
GNtM- Do anything this weekend?
GNtH- says nothing but shows him somthing
GNtM- Sweet. What did you use?
GNtH- Razor blades. I like them better than knives, becaue they cut you but not to deep.At that point I nearly freaked out, and turned to look at him, and his arm had about ten scars on it, starting at the elbow and continuing down. That really made me upset that people would do that then. After that we moved seats.

in August 28th, 2006 @ 22:41Well, at least I am not in elementary school, that oh-so-(seemingly)-long ago. When I was in third grade, my teacher let us take home baby chicks, and my ebil principal took mine (supposedly they don’t allow them on the bus) and….. SOLD IT TO A CHICKEN FARM!!! WHERE THEY RAISE CHICKENS TO EAT!!!! 0.o I have never looked at a chicken leg the same since.
It was tragic.
But other than that, Yay school!

in August 30th, 2006 @ 19:37First day of school. Bleah x1000000. The goode thing is that there are only four classes each day. They’re really long, so I can get my HW done during them. w00tness. I’m just trying to change my US Government class to something else. It’s going to be one of those stupid classes where you don’t really do or learn anything. Aargh. It may mess up my lunch, but I don’t really know anyone in it. I wasn’t even there mostly, because I was finding my locker. I loathe history classes. History is cool. History class is not fun. My sister says, “Hi.” Againe. Over and over. *sigh* Seriously, though. It’s sad.
And I couldn’t find my bus. Why? Because there are about sixty busses and I couldn’t look through all of them, because number 12 was not on the bus map. Neither was fifty-one. But we finally found it. While asking some random school admin where it was, my sister started imitating this one guy’s face. It was soooo funny because he made the weirdest expression and she did her impression perfectly. Just in time for her one friend to see from the window of his bus. Priceless. Like MasterCard. Only not. He was laughing at her and I don’t think he saw funny-face-dude. Which made it more funny.
But my Spanish teacher doesn’t like me. Why? Because she named me Guadelupe, of all things. Every one else in the entire class had names that were at least vaguely like their first names. But I got Guadelupe. *dies* Though she did make a Law&Order:SVU reference to my name. Very cool. And I sit by one of my friends, which is also cool. Except we get glared at for talking. And here, my sister says, “Tell them I admire them.” I don’t know who they are. She says, “The Mu-sters.” She’s very odd. Like now, she’s laughing like mad. For no reason. Okay, there is a reason: insanity. Back to the other topic, though.
Sorry for the huuuuuuuuge post, by the way.
It gets weirder and weirder transferring. Because every one is so tightly wound together, you know? Upperclass[wo]men probably do. Ah, well; it’s only HS. I’m over it. And I didn’t even get lost on the way to my classes. I don’t socialize much, either. *sigh*
Chem is going to be bloody amazing. The teacher is veryvery cool, and the class is veryvery small. I hope I just have enough chem background. Probably. SigFigs. w00t. And quantum mechanics. Which are really simple but sound hard. Then stoickiometry. Which is also very easy and mathy. Like the shirt my 8th grade chem teacher had:
MOLE. NOT THE ANIMAL. with Avogadro’s number on the back. Very cool. Almost as cool as Carol.
And calc will either be very HUZZAH or very ZURG. The teacher is the cheerleading coach, but I think she knows what she’s doing. Whee. But I was late because my bus was a full half hour late. I do not like the public school transportation system. Or polo shirts. They came up with a weird dress code. But whatever, I can wear sneakers.
I’m a bit bored right now. And that was a useless statement. I should be covering my textbooks or something like that. *booksoxattack* Done.
In essence, school is weird. But you all knew that already
*sighs againe*

curious and questioning
in August 30th, 2006 @ 20:42I want school!!! Only I need to clean my backpack from last year and set up my supplies. A week until Sept. 6. Actually, I want school that starts at noon and ends at 6 pm. My school starts at 7:30 am, and my bus comes at 6:50 only it really comes at 7.
My school is supposed to end at 2:09 pm, only I’m a grade ahead in math, and since 8th grade is the highest in my school, me and 13 others get to take a bus to the high school for ninth(last) period math. Confusion.

in August 30th, 2006 @ 21:11119 (SM)- I think we get to make stuffed moles in my chem class next semester. Funfunfun.
120 (c&q)- Lucky. I had to take accelerated math first period. Math first period is not a good thing. Oh, and getting out at three isn’t so bad. I’m stuck for another hour, and I start at 7:30, as I’m sure I’ve complained about already,
110 (GIM)- She loved Big Principal.

in September 2nd, 2006 @ 20:55My school runs with four periods a day, each period 90 minutes long. There are A-days and B-days, and they alternate. On B-days, I have “academic lab” which is study hall, but after five weeks I get a free period instead. And after five weeks, I can go out for lunch to Schnucks, McDonalds, Rally’s, Panera, or Arby’s. That rocks.
Is anyone taking Latin? I am. there are so few people taking latin that years 1 and years 2 have to share a period and room. the total number of people in the room is eleven. that’s just sad.
My problem, though, is that I’m taking Algebra 2, and I’m the only Freshman in my class. It really sucks, because it’s mostly juniors and they’re all like scary.
And my middle school, in 8th grade, taught us Freshman Lit. and American Gov., so even if I did pass the class in eigth grade, I have to take it again.
It was so funny last year, my civics teacher didn’t teach us anything, so on the final, the passing grade was 70, and I got 71. I’m so proud. And I still got all A’s. And I was missing about four assignments out of eight. And people who got 80 on the final and turned in all assignments got B’s. heh heh. the teacher played such favorites…

in September 5th, 2006 @ 14:13I just had my first day of high school, which is in Switzerland largely agreed upon being a few 10 times tougher than american high school. No offence. It’s not even obligatory, I could work instead, but I’m one of the few elite who actuall go through with this crazy stuff. Bloody ‘Ell. I’ll be posting an awful lot in the HW thread soon.

in September 5th, 2006 @ 14:39125-it sux about your being the only freshman. in the hs around me, the advanced math class either takes algebra 2 or geomatry in 9th grade, and then the other in 10th.
do you mean juniors, or did you mean sophmore? casue if it is junior then you are waaaaaaaaaaaay smarter then most of your classmates( no offence to them) if you ment sophmores the nyou are only smarter then the rest of your classmates
126- never haveing looked into high schools abroud, what makes them so much harder?
