First week of school

Well I started school on Septemeber 2 and this is what happened:

First of all in my first class, Spanish, I know not a single person in the class, and half of them are 9th graders that started out at level 2 (I started at level 1 since I never took Spanish before). I sat on a table by myself, then later on 3 girls came to the table ...I wanted at least another boy in the group, as it is either to get along with etc.

Second class is "Advanced Placement: World History" and I have differnt students in it. Last year I could have signed up for Advanced Placement in European or World History, and I picked World. Eventhough this is the hardest class I have (HW on 1st day) it is worth it since I get 10% of my average added to my grdae at the end . And I know 3 kids from that class. This is my (only) favorite calss.

Third, geometry,...I know 1 person in it, and I guess it is ok :

5th-Lunch

6-Gym-Im excused (Surgery)

6-Chemical lab I only get on Thursdays, like today, and wow that teacher is a joke . He give us a safety "test" in each question . Example:

12. Whenever you see a bottle of chemicals on your desk:
a.just use whatever you pick up first
b.know what you are using by reading ALL labels carefully
c.drink or eat it up
d.light them up as to roast marshmallows

Oh yeah, and I failed the second test since I touched the paper to early. Then I took it still and I think I got a 70% on my second "test" which was to fill out my student info. (I crossed out 3 times on it)

His style in lab however is very strict. You need to get a notebook and write out the Scientific method and type it, email it to him and print out a hard copy :

I know no one in the class

7-Soph Tech: In Soph tech you wither get wood shop or metal shop . I got meatl (which I wanted). In this class, the room is large and it has huge machines, like the ones in factories. I will basically be using metal and these machines to make things...should be interesting...

I know no one...

8-Chemistry: I know one person...and the class is alright...even if I got confused in her way of converting measurements on the first day...

9-English-A very enthusatic teacher, but serious teacher in terms of work-next week I write an essay...and I know no one....

So I think it is safe to say that this year is crap, with all due respect ...Last year we had clusters(when you are with the same class most of the day)...that was fun IMO :

you'll know some people before the end of the month. and you cant really complain about it being harder, there wouldn't be a point in it if it was easy.

I didn't complain that it was harder...I just said World History is harder and that's because its advanced placement-and its my favorite class.

I hope you are right...

i got some friends with a dad who pushed them really hard to study practice things, well my friends always say the harder it is to do these things, the easier it will be in the future.

Yep that's true...

I have wonderful teachers, don't I?

lol its even harder in college to know people, since you're basically with someone new everyday and everybody from high school takes different majors and stuff ....

Wow, new people everyday...that means there is no point in making friends there, is there?

well not everyday, more like every other day, somethin like that. Its just that there are so many people in lecture classes I feel like I see new people everyday

Is it true that they don't write anything and you need to call them "Professor"?

i take notes, but most of the stuff is in the book anyway .... i heard that some ppl even voice record

So they write notes on the board...amazing how in intermediate school they always threaten you that theyw on't write anything

depends on the class man, some yap, some use powerpoint, some write on the board .... well they all yap but yeah .... its only been 5 days for me lol ...

i had a guy who printed out all his power point presentations and gave them to us to write noted as he went through it on the screen

lol some student found out that all of the powerpoint presentations for each chapter for my chemistry class were all online and that you could download them ... its too much to print out but I get to take notes more sparingly

^^^I wish he is my future Profesor ...I don't like taking notes, as I might miss any...
