Spritzie Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 I knew more about my school, what classes to take and how to set up my schedule, because my sister had been going there for 3 years, and she was a senior when I was a freshman. We even rode together until we had scheduling conflicts. Quote
:)Doc Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I'm going to my high school next week; It's a program where you get to meet all the kids and learn the building. I have to go for two reasons. 1) To see all my friends again :D 2) I gotta get my schedule changed <_< Quote
Manta Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Even I don't know and I'm going to that school in like, less than 2 months. :P I just realized something...I now regret replacing Study Hall with Studio Art (aka taking another elective) :grrr: As far as I know of, no one I know (or like) is gonna be in that class. grrrrr. At least I have Chorus, which my best friends are going to be in. =D Pro tip: don't take classes because your friends are in them. Take classes because you enjoy them and want to learn. Friends change all the time. Honestly, I wish i had taken studio art back in high school :P Quote
-Ryan Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Ironically enough I did take classes with freinds and it ended badly. I went with regular bio instead of honors, and the person I was trying to get the same class as got honors biology without signing up for it. xD Quote
Spritzie Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I only had 4 friends that went to my HS. My HS had around 2k students, I think, and the classes could be mixed of any grades, depending on the class, so the chance of me ending up with any of my friends in any of my classes was slim. And sure enough, I didn't get a single class with any of them, though we all had lunch together. I just made it my goal to make one friend in each class. And I got lucky because a girl from my science class, was also in my PE class. Quote
rachiee Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I believe that I have less than or around 10 friends (in my grade, anyway: I do have friends in other grades) going to the same school as me this year. I know that at least three of my friends are going to different schools for the next school year. :c In 8th grade, I had every single class with my best friend. Surprisingly, it didn't end badly. :P But somewhere around 3rd or 4th quarter, I got assigned to sit near my other best friend in Science (my worst class) SEVERAL TIMES. Yeahhh, that ended badly. XP Quote
Spritzie Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 In 8th grade, I had a friend in each class, but it was never the same friend for 2 classes. (except concert band and jazz band. I had 4-5 of my friends in both of those, and more in concert band, than jazz band.) But when it came time for HS, we were really spread out. 5 of us went to my HS, 2 went to the one my mom went to. Another couple went to a few others each. Quote
Naamah D. Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I don't take regular classes. I'm stuck in the same room everyday. I hate it. At least I'm never late and get detentions for that reason. Quote
Manta Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Sometimes I've had classes with friends, sometimes I haven't. At college, I tend to have classes with friends anyway because a. it's a small school and b. half of the school is biology (at least it feels like that :laughingsmiley:) so I generally know everyone anyway :P I'm actually going to a high school concert tonight - it's an alumni concert, so my brother and a bunch of my friends will be singing as well. I'm kinda nervous because i haven't seen most of the people in a few years, but it should be fun. Plus, there'll be food. I like food :whistle: Quote
rachiee Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 My school is pretty small and I know just about everyone in my grade and a considerable amount of people in other grades. I'm only friends with like, around 10-15 of them though. xD In addition, my school district is really small. It consists of two elementary schools (one housing grades K-2 and the other housing grades 3 and 4), a middle school and a high school. Well, what can you expect when you live in a small town? Quote
Spritzie Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 My school district was the first in my city, and my HS was the first HS in the city as well. And for a long time, it was the only one to offer the IB program. It's huge. There were just too many students to really know that many. Quote
Tedhaun Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 How's everyone doing this fine night? I've been on the pursuit for more Faerie Quests recently since I heard about the spike in Codestone prices. I wasn't fond of them when I first started playing Neopets, but I've been getting used to them since they are the most inexpensive way to my Kiko's stats decently set up for any battles for the upcoming plot (if there will be one). Quote
rachiee Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 It really grinds my gears when I put my battle pet in a course at the training school and the teacher asks for a codestone that I only have one of. :/ I'm also waiting for the Faerie Quests to come...I haven't gotten one in a while. I got a whole bunch during the latter part of the last month though. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I had been training levels, and I had wanted to stop at 40, to test something, before I went to 41. I got her out this afternoon and she got the bonus and it raised her 2, to 41. Then 5 minutes later, Coltzan raised her level again. Then I'd gotten a Faerie quest yesterday that I was waiting to turn it, so now she's level 43. :laughingsmiley: Quote
wistiria12 Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Can anyone tell me what happened to petpet park? Because i can't log in and i don't know why :/ Yeah...I had no idea on what to say...So...Hear it is! :mellow: Quote
Spritzie Posted July 23, 2011 Posted July 23, 2011 Are you getting an error? I've never been able to log into Petpet Park from this computer so I can't check. Quote
Naamah D. Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I'm already planning back to school shopping and school doesn't start until the 30th of August. Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 My sister and I always loved getting out supplies early. Quote
khaos Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Since we're on the topic, I'm REALLY nervous about going to middle school. :sad01_anim: Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Middle school isn't scary. I hated school, with a passion, and middle school was my favorite. I had the best years in middle school. Quote
rachiee Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Middle school kinda sucked for me, save for the second semester of sixth grade, all of seventh grade and the second semester of eighth grade. I had no problem transitioning from elementary school to middle school. However, I'm hella nervous about going to high school. I haven't been in there for more than an hour at a time (except for concerts and whatnot) but I already hate the administration and a few of staff...especially one of my future English teachers. :/ When I realized that the administration (and some of the staff) throughout my entire school district is pretty lackluster just a few months ago, and man, it has changed my life and outlook on things drastically. ._. </endrant> Oh yeah, and I absolutely love doing school supply shopping. :laughingsmiley: Quote
Spritzie Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I was terrified of HS, for no good reason. But when I went, it wasn't that bad. I didn't really have many dealings with my teachers or other students so I just went about my business. Quote
Masaryk Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 Middle school isn't scary. I hated school, with a passion, and middle school was my favorite. I had the best years in middle school. The middle school years were the worst years of my life. I had no friends in grade 8. My school was very snobby and cliquish. I was the one heavy-metal kid in my class. I had no problem transitioning from elementary school to middle school. However, I'm hella nervous about going to high school. I haven't been in there for more than an hour at a time (except for concerts and whatnot) but I already hate the administration and a few of staff...especially one of my future English teachers. :/Luckily, you don't have to deal with administration all that much. I don't think I ever spoke to my first high school principal. After he retired, the next guy was more social. No one liked either VP we had, either. As for the English teacher you don't like, at least you only have to see them for an hour each day, and only for one semester. I had a few cruddy teachers in high school, but I also had a few amazing teachers too. My science teacher in grade 9 was terrible. He was so incredibly bored with his job. He always looked and sounded disinterested. I kind of ended up being a bit of jerk in his class - mouthing off, showing up late - mostly because I felt like I wasn't getting anything out of being there. I didn't want to end up in his class again, so I took grade 10 science in summer school. When I realized that the administration (and some of the staff) throughout my entire school district is pretty lackluster just a few months ago, and man, it has changed my life and outlook on things drastically. ._. </endrant> :laughingsmiley: Welcome to every school district, and most future workplaces, where people who lack the most interest in their job end up being in charge, because they are completely burnt out on whatever they had been doing before. Hopefully, at some point, someone will come along and prove me wrong. I was terrified of HS, for no good reason. But when I went, it wasn't that bad. I didn't really have many dealings with my teachers or other students so I just went about my business. High school was great for me. Usually, there aren't too many reasons to have to be nervous around teachers and other students. Quote
Naamah D. Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I like school. I'm not into the whole school spirit thing. I don't wear the schools colors, I don't particapate in pajama day or Earth Day(we call it Green Day like the now obnoxious band), I just do my own thing. I really hate when teachers want me to be social with other kids. Sure I'll learn social skills but no, I don't hang out with stoners. I would go into more detail but I'm having too good of a day to bring up "you know who". Heck, I'd rather not bring her up anymore. Who's with me on that? Quote
rachiee Posted July 25, 2011 Posted July 25, 2011 I'm really not into school spirit either. I'll do the colour wars and that's pretty much it xD On the topic of school spirit, I found out about a week ago that you have to go to a mandatory pep rally in...the beginning of the school year if I remember correctly. I was seriously miffed when my brother told me about that...psh, like I wanna sit outside for an hour or two going like "yeah um go team lol woooo." <_< I wouldn't support the rival team because I'll probably get jumped for doing so, and sporting events are srs bsns around here. =/ Quote
