Back To School.

[EBondo 232]

So this year I'm starting my Junior Year, so-called the most important year of school you'll ever go through. Already, I can see that my chemistry teacher is insane. He has something like four jobs, including a high-school teacher by day, and a college professor by night. He's done work for NASA, and developed a rocket fuel, but it turned out that it was only powerful enough for small satellite launches. He's one of two types of scientists in the nation that figures out how much energy or something that is in atoms, and he's one of 5, IN THE WORLD!!! This guy is unbelievable. The first day, he says that we are no longer in high school, we are in college, and are going to be treated like college students, since Chemistry is a college-prep course. . I dunno how well I'm going to do with the math part. Math=not my subject.

This guy is crazy, I swear. And my english teacher is another story. She cannot teach to save her life (even other teachers have said it), and she has the biggest attitude ever. I had her for homeroom last year, and even after 15 minutes I wanted to shoot her. UGH.

Anyone else dealing with major back-to-school issues?

My chemistry teacher has had 2 heart attacks, and 2 strokes. He passed out right in the middle of a class last year and had to be sent to the hospital for like 2 or 3 days.

I have heard most people say your sophmore year is most important which is it and why?

[EBondo 232]

I can't say I've heard that. So far, my sophmore year was the easiest. I almost made honor roll each marking period, only missing by a few points each one. I haven't done that well since 5th grade. I've heard that Junior Year is the most important, due to the classes, and amount of projects you get on top of sports, jobs, and whatever else you have to do.

Yup, I also started my junior year yesterday. EBondo, my chemistry teacher must be the exact opposite of yours from what it sounds like. Mine is completely monotone and boring. It's gunna be tough for me to do good in this class seeing that i struggled with bio last year and now i cant seem to pay attention to my teacher because hes so boring. Whatever, my other classes are sick.

LChockey24, you have 8 classes senior year? Most seniors I know have 4 or 5 classs.

I love my frosh year so far..we started yesterday, I like the school alot surprisingly...almost can't wait to be there the next day.

[Eazy_b97 1]

I'm going back to classes in a few minutes. I had one earlier and nighclass at 7 (but am meeting up with a friend beforehand)

So far so good for me, my only class has literally half the workload I was expecting and I am getting much more money than I expected on my book buy-backs. American Lit tonight should be interested, I'm not enrolled in it yet, just shopping it a bit.

I've heard different theories on everygrade being the most difficult. Don't believe any of it, it's a personal thing. Do what you can to work through poor teaching, the teachers at the upper levels aren't terrific.

did u all have to do senior portfolio's?

in ky they are crazy about them

[EBondo 232]

Sounds like my history teacher. Been in school two days and I already fell asleep. Good thing I'm really good with history.

I can't wait to see how my class is gonna be next year. We already own the school pretty much, cause this year's senior class sucks. My class is crazzzyyyy

last years senior class at my school was crazy!

they had mr.soccer and state champion soccer team, they were an awsome class.

our senior class isnt as good at all, but we also have a huge class!!

I'm wondering if this is some people's first senior year and if so, how many more will they go through.

Not saying it's right it's just something i have heard and for me freshman year was the easiest year I have had

This quarter is going to be easy. I have to take all of the basic 200 level poly sci classes to satisfy my major, so I'm taking US Politics online. Online classes are without a doubt the greatest thing ever, last one I tookmy midterm and final (which were 80% of the grade) were weighed straight up 20%. Then I'm taking US History, Intro to Islam, and Spanish. Spanish will suck but one of my housemates is a Spanish major, so that'll help. MWF I'm on campus from 10-1, TR I'm on from 11-1:20. I love my schedule. Plus my house is a block from campus.

[mack 44]

I'm going to agree with you about the online classes, I'm going for my doctorate thru a program here and online is saving me a hell of a lot of hassle.

And what do you call the big exams you do when your 16/17, in 5th year, if you have any? their called GCSES over here and you do 8/9 subjects.

My freshmen year so far seems to be pretty good. The only thing I can complain about is that my geometry teacher is basically Leo from That 70's Show. He has the beard and the long hair and wears it in a pony tail all the time. He says "man" all the time and just talks like him. Its really quite funny, and he doesn't really explain things very well. Other than that it seems like it will be a fun year.

im a sophmore in college but just transfered to my school (IUP..) so its kinda like being a freshie cause I dont know where anything is located. My schedules sweet, earliest class on any day is 915, MW i have a break from 1030 to 630 then i have one quick easy computer night class for an hour and a half. Tuesdays, I have one class, math, at 1:15 in the afternoon, and Thursdays I have math followed by a geology lab with a professor who has been all over the world, the Mojave desert, arctic circle, and other places for studies, plus he has lived in Cali, Colorado, Massachusettes but now he's living in Pittsburgh, my hometown, so thats pretty cool..

Havn't met many people or partied much yet.. blah :(

I'm a sophomore (High School) this year, just moved in a couple of days ago. School's always pretty fun/easy for me so i've got no worries.

I caught that too...
