Hang Out and Post

Mmm.

 

I tried downloading blasterball 2 (on a laptop) and it didn't work. By any particular chance, does anyone know the problem? :)

I cheked with all my anti-malware programs and it is safe, so can anyone try downloading it to see the problem? :/

I love all things Greek Mythology. I love reading the Odyssey. I really loved Honors English my freshman year because the entire first quarter was spent on Greek Mythology. (Then I took a general mythology class later in HS for an elective.)

[rachiee]

I never really cared for mythology all that much. I learned a little bit of mythology back in grade 6 English and I found it to be boring. In fact, I found everything I learned back then to be boring. :P

What's pretty bad is that since in both of the honors-level classes I'm taking, we're mainly just relearning stuff we learned in grade 6 (especially in social studies) this time in greater detail. Nearly two and a half years have passed since grade 6 ended and I still find a lot of the stuff I learned back then to be boring. :/

[Spritzie]

I just always found mythology interesting. It's cool to learn those types of things about other cultures. History was the subject that was always super boring to me.

[rachiee]

I didn't really start liking history until grade 7 when we started to re-learn things from the 1500s/1600s-onward. This year, we're re-learning stuff about ancient civilizations, which was really boring to me.

A few months ago we learned about the Cold War and Vietnam War, which probably interested me the most out of anything I ever learned in social studies. I guess the more current history interests me more than stuff that happened thousands of years ago. *shrug*

Really? I find ancient civilizations more interesting than majority of 1700s-Now.

[The Score in Blue]

Hello!. I myself am not a fan of history but some topics are interesting.... ancient Roman history was quite cool :)

[Spritzie]

I enjoy certain aspects of history, but since it's a subject I struggle with more, I needed teachers who really made it come alive and more interesting, and I never really had that. More than anything, they focused on the dates.

[Sweetdang]

I studied ancient civilazations last year. Thought it was DEAD boring until EOYs last year - when I rewrote the whole textbook. Then I realised how fascinating it was. :)

[Spritzie]

I wish we had covered more of the areas of history that were of a huge interest to me, like ancient Egypt, but most of my history classes focused on early North American history, or renaissance era Europe.

[Syrin of Neopia]

Just a random jump in: I love mythology! It was always one of my favorite things to study & still is . . . too bad my university doesn't offer a lot of mythology or religion courses . . .

[Spritzie]

I've always thought mythology was fun. The stories are so detailed. Greek has always been my favorite. Not to mention how many things are taken from Greek mythology. (Or the Roman versions of Greek mythology.)

[Sweetdang]

I love greek mythology! I've read most of them... an extensive research of all the tales. Amazing. :)

 

When we do Shakesphere in class, lots of people don't get the greek allusions, then I feel like a major nerd. :O

[Spritzie]

I never liked studying Shakespeare. I couldn't get past the language used, it made it too difficult to enjoy for me.

[xox__saraa]

I loved studying Shakespeare in school. It was definitely my favourite part of my drama and English classes.

[Ruka]

Oh, Shakespeare! I remembered a couple of months ago I had lessons on 'The Tragedy of Macbeth' by him in my Literature class!

[Sweetdang]

I like Shakespeare. :) I'm fluent in English so when I read Shakespeare, it all makes sense to me. I can speak like that, too. :P Something to do with the bible being written like that, too, I guess - And i read that lots.

[Syrin of Neopia]

I'm taking a Shakespeare class in the spring, the classics only I believe.

 

I'm very much looking forward to it.

[Noog]

If you can understand what you're reading, then Shakespeare is amazing. :)

 

Beware the Ides of March!

[rachiee]

I feel like I'm the only person here who hasn't read anything by Shakespeare. :P

[Lady Lyuba]

Shakespeare? I LOVE theatre so I have a huge respect for Shakespeare. I'm all about him! Oh yes, brings back memories of high school productions of Twelfth Night and the unameable play. Better cut me off before I start going on and on about them! :wub_anim:

[khaos]

I feel like I'm the only person here who hasn't read anything by Shakespeare. :P

 

No, you're not. :P

 

Oh God, I left my Science book in class, and I have homework for the class. x_x I thought I had it in my bookbag because it wasn't in my locker, now I cant do homework. Maybe one of my friends can tell me the questions (it is only 3 questions) and I can do it. :)

 

What do (did) you do if you forgot your book?

[The Meepit Commando]

I call a friend, if not then I do it in lunch if is for hours 5 and 6, if not than in I do it in class.

[rachiee]

If you left your book at school, my only advice is to call a friend and have them tell you the answers to the questions and then when you come back and get your book you can read the part you needed to read and verify your answers? Sorry for the big run-on sentence and the fact that I suck at giving advice but it's been a while since I last left any of my books at school :|

 

Speaking of homework, I'm already missing two homework assignments for French class. We also have a project coming up where you have to describe your family or friends as well as add pictures and I seriously don't want to do it...but I have to.

I honestly cannot stand projects (in any class) that ask you to describe and/or add pictures of your family or friends, especially the family part. Maybe it's because I don't have enough pictures of my family or friends, and all the pictures I do have are terrible.

Plus, what is it with teachers (especially foreign language teachers) and wanting to know more about my family and/or friends? All they need to know is that I have a mom and a dad and a brother and you know most of my friends already but I should mention that they're smart, pretty and slightly nerdy. Simple as that. Now give me my A+.

[Noog]

lol, I know what you mean! My spanish teacher had us do projects describing our family and even made us do a family tree.
