Back in School - Page 4

Snow White · 08-31-2002, 07:17 PM

hm...perhaps I did. The funny thing is, the school made everyone who was on the list apologize to him for whatever it was they did. Then he had to apologize to us. He got expelled, but my principal suggested that we all make it up to him. I think she was mad at *us* for being on his hit list.

**azure turtle** · 08-31-2002, 07:26 PM

Well... I guess it's better to apologize to the kid than remain on his hit list. I'd be very nervous if I ended up on someone's list like that.

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2002, 08:18 PM

yeah I don't want to add my name on MORE hit lists um... I mean uh... yeah...

Snow White · 08-31-2002, 08:19 PM

I couldn't sleep for a week. He got expelled, and he knew where I lived! I kept thinking I heard him on night. It was very creepy. But he moved to Texas the next year, so I felt a little better.

Grrr...I want to know whose brillant idea it was to assign me an essay the first weekend of school! *angrily stomps back to Microsoft Word to finish her essay* Stupid teachers...

Little_Ebony_Filly · 09-01-2002, 10:12 PM

hahahhahah a marker?? that is sooooo fricking funny a marker

sry i can't get ober that. i wonder what would have happened if it was a piece of paper

**azure turtle** · 09-01-2002, 11:59 PM

*snicker*
That reminds me of a little habit I have... Whenever someone asks me the question: "Can I borrow a piece of paper?" I always respond with: "Sure, as long as you give it back to me." I'm a weird one, I know.

Raphael · 09-02-2002, 03:31 AM

I've had a gap year since completing my exams. Well, I guess not really because I've been working on and off but still. I have the chance to go and register at college today, but I aren't sure if that's really what I want to do.

I mean, I have no idea what to do as a career so how I can choose courses is beyond me. Ah well, only two hours to go before I have to go!...

**azure turtle** · 09-02-2002, 04:06 AM

Don't worry, Raphael! I know how it feels to be confused about which path to take in life. I'm currently considering switching majors (heh... that's probably going to happen), but I'm still uncertain as to what I want to do with my life. You'll find your niche eventually. Just keep trying and keep searching. The important thing is to never give up.

**Nturtle** · 09-02-2002, 11:05 AM

I will survive!!!!!!

no I'm not going to start that, eep, I'm starting high school, we really didin't get to pick our classes this year so I'm starting on middle ground

Snow White · 09-02-2002, 05:33 PM

My school is just plain weird. They pretend like they're going to let you pick your classes, but you actually only get to pick one. You can take two if you want to go to zero period. But it starts at seven a.m. I'm sorry, but I'm not ready to go learn things at seven a.m. I'm taking spanish this year cuz I need three years of a foreign language to graduate. I have a feeling I'm not going to do so well though...my spanish teacher doesn't speak english inside the classroom. So far, I've learned his name. The day they decide to hire teachers that actually teach us something, is the day hell freezes over and is turned into my own personal ice skating rink.

**azure turtle** · 09-02-2002, 06:40 PM

My Spanish teacher in Jr. High taught in the same manner!! I really hate it when language teachers refuse to teach in English. How the hell was I supposed to figure out what she was saying when I only started taking Spanish? Luckily, our complaining about her poor teaching style got her fired the next year. She was replaced with a much better teacher, who spoke both Spanish and English while she was teaching. My high school Spanish teachers were much better, though. I can actually remember a good deal of what I learned. Es muy increible, no?

Snow White · 09-02-2002, 07:56 PM

You got your teacher fired? LOL! I didn't take spanish in eigth grade, but the people who did hated the teacher so much and gave him such a hard time, they made him cry and he quit in the middle of the year. I felt bad for him, but I laughed myself silly. Teaching Spanish in Spanish doesn't seem to be a very effective teaching method.

I am in awe you remember some of your Spanish. This is the third year I've taken it, and I only know the names of the colors. I learn things for tests, and then forget them afterwards. It drives my teachers crazy. You should see some of the looks they give me when I don't remember something thart was on a test the day before.

**Kali** · 09-02-2002, 09:24 PM

I only took two years of Spanish because it was required. I remember very little about it. I think I remember more Latin from English class than I do Spanish.

Our teacher would have like, one day every so often where he (and we) could only speak in Spanish. But most of the time it was English and Spanish. Though I heard that when you got to your third year you had to speak Spanish pretty much all the time.

Snow White · 09-02-2002, 10:37 PM

I took two years of spanish in jr. high. This is my third year, and even when I'm done with three more years, if I have to speak spanish everyday...I'm screwed.

**azure turtle** · 09-03-2002, 12:34 AM

The reason why I still remember a lot of my Spanish was because I practiced it every now and then (outside of the class). I'd go to a Spanish restaurant and order in Spanish, or I'd talk to some of my Mexican friends in Spanish. I like learning different languages, but my Spanish has been getting rusty as of late. Someday I hope to travel to Europe and visit Spain... Don't give up, SW! You'll survive. If you ever need any help, we have a few posters here who are fluent in Spanish.

He moved here to Texas?!?

That figures.

*Kameko* · 09-03-2002, 08:50 AM

You guys think you have it bad in Spanish? (And remind me to tell you of my foreign language study days... and how a straight-a student nearly flunked...)

At the moment I'm in a class called "Microcomputer Applications". Sounds complicated, right?

HA! He starts out the class by explaining what a desktop is, then he explains the proper way to insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive! Argh! I am so BORED!!! And to make matters worse, this class is totally required for my major, and apparently you can't test out of it, so I'm stuck here. Bleh.

angryash · 09-03-2002, 10:12 AM

i have had my first day in year 9 may i say it was boring

this is me and two of my mates at school in an english lesson we were bored out our minds

**Nturtle** · 09-03-2002, 10:12 AM

Ack!! I know just how you feel Kameko!! In 5th grade we had a class even worse then that!! The teacher was doing everything so slow, and truthfuly I knew more then him. Eventually he got mad at me and challenged me to figure out how to install and us the zip drive without instructions (oh horror of horrors!!

) when I did it he just kind of sulked, they cancled that class next year though.

I get to miss school today because I just turn 16 today.
