School

[Kaphias]

Two weeks in and I still can't decide how this year compares to last. Hopefully next week will tell, right now I'm seeing more homework, but everything is easier. :thumbup:

[BlindBaker]

Our schedule got switched up so now it rotates the other way. This could get confusing...

[Sam]

Hopefully I'll just get the same timetable as last year. It'll probably be on different days to last year but I hope it hasn't changed too much.

So far I get to work Tues/Thurs in a dining hall for 3.5 hours and at all home football games at the concessions from 7am to 5pm-ish. Also attending a job fair on Wed. to see if I can find any good jobs to fill in the rest of my week.

 

Any tips on balancing work, school, and life in college?

Students at my school are starting to talk about grindfest ( AKA Homecoming).

Have a set schedule for everything, and don't overwork yourself. If you have time put aside to do certain things, you should be fine. As long as you manage that time wisely, of course.

[Giordano]

Manage a set order of priorities and don't procastinate.

Play intramurals, exercise and eat right. Explore your college, and take advantage of how much [cabbage] they really have. You can often help with research and earn thousands of dollars.

I started 6th form yesterday, and it has been pretty good so far. The only downside is the increased amount of homework, but they give you so much free time that it is really easy to finish the homework, and still have time for leisure. Though my two chemistry teachers both want two seperate presentations on two different subjects, which only takes around a day or two to complete. But I have only had 2 of my 4 subjects I've picked so far, my other two are later in the week and I'm rather excited :).

2 days til I start Senior yr (233days til its over). I still gave a lot of work to do but I know I'll finish it in time, somehow.

 

I drive myself to school and I hate parking so much. The city hates our school so there's a law were you can't park on all the streets [except two] within a 3 block radius from the school from the hours of 8am-3pm Monday-Friday -.-. The two roads have max 80 parking spots, half of which you cannot park in Wednesday-Friday. There's about 250 seniors who drive plus maybe like 10 juniors, so I'm probably going to have to park at our athletic center and then take a bus to school... I'm really hoping I win our parking lottery [2 students win every 2 weeks and they get a spot each in the faculty parking lot for 2 weeks].

I'm staying in my math class, it's so easy so far. Even though the vast majority of the rest of the class is juniors and seniors I finish all the worksheets or whatever we have before everyone else, I'm a [bleep]ing genius, man. I just want an A in math so I'm staying.

Why do teachers like being so scary on the first day of school...

My schedule is terrible. But I've said that after the first day of my first two years of high school, and at the end of each year I find myself with a schedule that I generally like.

I have nearly no friends in my classes, and the few friends that I do have classes with aren't exactly the brightest people around. And the classes we have together happen to my toughest classes...and I also have what I consider to be the second worst block to have free.

Alas, my AP chem class looks alright, despite there being very few other juniors in there. And Latin will serve as my lulz for the day as well as naptime.

Aaah, school. Just remember in 4-5 years, when you're filling out a post/under app for a [cabbage] course that takes 3-5 years, so you can get a job you hate, remember how fun school was.

Solution: Get a job you don't hate.

*Cries* But I have no one to respond to there :(

Well, my class today was awesome. I sat on FB the whole time as myself, another student, and our professor discussed fighting styles (MMA and the like) and just kind of BS'd the class away. Was a lot of fun even though I hardly put any squash or stretch into my bouncing ball. Wait till you guys have teachers/professors like that and you'll be in love with school.

My science teacher is a hardcore atheist, and plans on "debunking" a lot about religion, so I'm curious as to what some of his ideas will be. Should be interesting.

God I love the women at my campus. I'd do illegal things to them that would become legal if anyone figured out how mind[bleep]ingly awesome it is.

 

I should explain that my previous sentence could be taken as either very creepy/4chany or just an extremely horny post from a guy who's had to stare at booty shorts all day. Yyyyyea it's the latter, just throwin' it out there.

 

More related to my classes: I have to memorize all 20 amino acids, their structures, three and one letter codes on my very first class of the semester. Huraaaaay! :thumbdown:

Sounds too anti-religious . Not that I disagree with him, but if he said that in my school then complaints would occur almost instantly from parents and students a like.

I have early release this year as a senior priority, class from 7:30 to 12:20. Not bad. :thumbup:

If it was my school I would tell them all to suck it up.

And that would have no effect.

With no chance at suing.

 

Yes I rock. :mrgreen:
