New School Year

For some of us, school starts up again tomorrow. For others, it will start in a week or two. So, anyone looking forward to going back to school?

:3 Well, it'll be fun for the first week or so, but then it's going to be boring and tedious...and everybody says that 7th grade is going to be the worst school year yet...at least I get to wake up like...at 7:20 instead of 7:10...ten minutes...heh. I think it's going to be fun being on the yearbook staff though ^.<.

I don't see why 7th grade would be the worst, so it probably won't be too bad. I use to have to get up earlier than 7 in high school though, Mom had work at 7 as was our only ride. It was kinda fun to get to school before teachers did. Kinda cold though...

Well...mostly it would be that I have to take Speech class and the science teacher...is...afblhsaafchemrhm chocolate <3er.

Speech would probably be annoying, especially if you do not like standing in front of people and talking. I had fun science teachers, but I have no idea what you were trying to say about yours.

This year I get a horrible Science teacher. He makes fun of people. Also, any pictures or drawings you do must be colored. If you don't, it's already a C.

My High school Biology teacher had us color our drawings, but I didn't mind. He was a lot of fun. During our free time, he'd talk about his previous occupations and experiences, as well as mix chemicals and do random experiments. He'd poke fun at some people every now and then, but it was in good humor, and no one was offended. Though that last bit was mostly during hurdles, which at the time he was the coach of.

I know this is late...xD school DID start on the 18th! and we had a hurricane the day after =P

I kinda have two science teachers. One teaches me biology from a book... by Cecie Starr. Huh. She teaches through powerpoints and I can't help but want to fall asleep in that class. And my other teacher is really...annoying. It's a research/beginning physics class set up for AP physics B. Well, I'm only a freshman so I don't know if any of the teachers later on get better or not.

I don't have speech... i have DEBATE. And i'm required to go to competition at least once per nine weeks... for a GRADE. Ugh.

I could go on about my classes for some time. AND omg math! i'm only textbook smart there.

Speech is half the reason I'm busy. One time I came to class, and was assigned to to give my Informative 5-7 minute speech in two days... it was not cool. But I still got a B. The speech itself was good, but i had lots of random small things that messed me up - all of which were do to the lack of time I had to prepare.

i'm starting LD in debate now. ooh... I'm going to blue key debate tournament next week =P in class, we're starting original oratory, and we just finished congress and duo interpretation.

it's a new school year and my school has already lost two people from our school family =( during the summer, one of the very young female teachers passed away in a heart attack, and just tuesday night a senior accidentally shot himself while cleaning a handgun while on the phone with his friend. it's sad, really.

I don't mean to sound rude/etc, but how do you manage to shoot yourself while you are cleaning it? Granted, I have assumed that you would take out the ammo and leave safety on... that's a horrible way to go though.

I really don't know. he was supposed to know everything about guns since he was training for military or something (I wouldn't know) but I guess it was just a moment of foolishness. And apparently that foolishness cost him his life.

I feel sad and pitiful that someone has to die that way. I mean, I wouldn't find it strange that someone died through disease or old age, but to die because you 'accidentally' shot yourself is just plain sad. And again, I don't mean to be rude. It's just that you really don't want to be playing around with a gun, whether or not you think it's on safety or without ammo.

Well, normally cleaning a gun shouldn't be a problem, but I guess he was somewhat distracted since he apparently left at least one bullet in it... Well, nothing we can do about it now, so I'm going to go sleep now, as it is after 3 am, and i have 2 midterms tomorrow (Biology and Japanese)... this will not be fun.

He just wasn't making a good decision...

*gasp* going to sleep that late isn't good O.O well, who am I for judging what's good or bad? Good luck on paying attention on midterms... you've probably finished them by now though.

I'm heavily preparing for my competition Friday to Sunday on the November/December topic: Resolved: In a democratic society, felons ought to retain the right to vote.

I remained sane after doing the midterms. I do not know how I did in Biology, but Japanese was good enough. And again, it is near 3, so I am going to go sleep as some anime has not updated... stupid not updating.

Haha, yeah, I know. I'm really desperate to not do my homework because it makes me depressed xD. That's why I constantly look for updates on manga sites and fanfiction, because it makes me forget about doing loads of math homework or writing essays.

Well, I'm off memorizing coordinates and symbols for the unit circle. Ooh, what fun.

Anyone been following the American elections? I'm watching them tally the final results right now, and Obama is whooping McCain butt by a lot. xD
