Oh I misunderstood tennis. He never said 8th grade was high school.

I'm in 9th right now, by the way.

hmm the way they call things over there are a bit different from us,but I am thinking my schedule next year will be something like

English 11(as in 11th grade English)
Algebra 2
Spanish 2(I pretty much failed it this year)
Computer Systems Technology 2(Game Design)
Chemistry
Technical Drawing(Architectural Basics)
Government(I'm not sure if I want to take it as an AP course yet)
and I still have one slot left to think about.I think I might take a computer science class there though.

This year I am taking...(I got into a bunch of easy classes after taking all honors last year)

English 10
Honors Earth Science(Fairly Easy Class compared to Honors Biology)
Computer Systems Technology 1(Basic technological knowledge)
Spanish 2(I really need some help with that class...)
US/VA History(Easy class nothing but review for me)
Physics 2(AKA Robotics class...yes there is a robotics class)
PE/Emergency Care(it was PE/Drivers Ed first semester)
Geometry(I always fell asleep during the Algebra readiness tests)


Yeah High School its OK,but you have way more work then in Middle School,and teachers seem to expect much more out of you.Its OK overall though.

I think what he meant was that he just chose his schedule for next year,and is going into High School next year.

Hahaha, yay for graduating. I've got such an easy schedule this semester it's ridiculous.

1.) College English (20+ Papers a semester, but it's $2000 cheaper than taking it at a universeity)
2.) Select Choir
3.) Concert Choir (I switched in from AP Physics last semester because the director said she needed me.)
4.) Photography
5.) United States Government/Contemporary Issues
6.) Anatomy (We basically just color...)

I should have a 4.0 this semester.

What time do you guys get out? I know we get out at 3:04, except on Thrusdays and Fridays, a curse on those days. We get out later compared to some other schools, which are 2:45 and such, and yeah not much a gap but believe me, IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!!!

well over here were have a thing called block scheduling where we take half of our classes one day and the other half the next day.So while we have 8 classes,we only have to take 4 a day.of course we have to take each class for 1 and 1/2 hours straight,but thats High School.

Hence why I hate our Thursdays and Fridays, Thursdays we get out at 3:30 something and Friday 1:00 something. I do not like block scheduling >_<

block schedule??ive heard of that but i go to a school with all the classes in one day. so i don't have much experience with it..is it easier than normal schedule?or is it the same exact thing? isnt taking 1 and 1/2 hour classes as boring as normal classes or is there a difference?
