For most of you, at least. I've Been back for three weeks already. This is the thread to talk about classes, funny things that happened at your school, etc.
So what's everyone taking this year? This term, my schedule looks like this:
1st Period: Marine Biology
2nd: American History
3rd: Yearbook
4th: Executive Intern (Guidance)
Yeah, I got of easy this term, but next term I've got:
1st Period: English 3 AP
2nd: Spanish III
3rd: Yearbook IV
4th: Geometry
Yep...it won't be easy or fun next term, but, oh well.
1st - English III Honors (Should've taken AP :sidestare )
2nd - AP Computer Science (Java)
3rd - Precalculus Honors
4th - AP American History (Gah!!)
5th - Acting III
6th - Physics Honors I
i hate history, so it would be really hard for me. this semester i'm only taking 4 classes, but two of them are 4 credit classes.
to elaborate: (skip if you know the college system)
i know high schools have classes with credit numbers, usually it's 2.5 or 3. in college, you progress from freshman to soph, soph to junior, etc by the number of credits you have. the more credits the class is, the harder it is and the more work it will have. classes are almost always between 1-4 credits. there are also levels of classes. 100 level is for freshman, 200 is for soph, etc up to 400. above that is usually for graduate students. usually students can take whatever level they want, but the higher you go, the harder it will be and the more prerequisites you will need to take it.
anyway! sorry, i felt a need to rant. my classes this semester are as follows:
- c programming
- calc
- world demography (some 400-level sociology class)
- 16th century northern euro art (crappy 300 level art history)
Xilicon, I've discovered two kinds of people relating school subjects and what they comprehend easier. The "Math and Science" comprehenders and the "English and History" comprehenders in terms of how fast they can do that and how well. I understand Math and Science easier so it's a bigger challenge to understand History and English. But hey, I like challenges!
Then again, I took AP World, so I have some what of an understanding on what I'm getting into!
I'm a TA in the guidance office. I like being there, but, the lady in charge of scheduling is a little bit evil. But, we get along, and that's all that matters.
Next semester they're letting me play in the front office, which'll be fun because I can use the intercom and stuff :D.
