College is cool though. I took 5 subjects at college, maths, law, lamda, theatre and film, and i still had at least 1-2 free periods. If you think year 11 is good, wait til you get to college and everyone starts to treat you like an adult instead of being so patonising all the time. | I'm actually finding Year 11 to be better than any other year, despite the work being harder. The teachers don't patronise us anymore and it's obvious that they all prefer teaching senior classes. The Year 7s (in fact any blue-shirt) know better than to cross seniors because we're a foot taller than them and I'm about to drop Drama so I'll have 4 free periods a week. The only major downside is Period 0 which starts at 8:45 on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. However by dropping Drama I won't have to go to Period 0 on Mondays and my English teacher lets us drink coffee because it's so early in the morning.

| | | Everything has been pretty awesome so far.
Ancient History has only 9 people including me, and they're all my friends! And one of my friends (who is in the class), his dad is the teacher, and it's actually really awesome.
Art is just good as it always is.
Religion is the best it can be (boring subject, but the teacher ain't too bad).
Business Studies sucks major ass though, so I may change it to something else. I have a limited selection, so I may go with Biology, as I looked at the assessments and it seems pretty simple - I'd just drop it at the end of the year. |

| | | Yeah, I changed to Design and Technology today. At worst, you're looking at one bad mark on your yearly report card before you drop it anyway. Ancient History was really popular in my year for some reason, probably because the head teacher is fanatic about the Romans. Legend has it he once came into a class dressed as a Roman soldier, complete with a gladius.

I nearly did the same, but I thought it'd be best to choose the subject I like. |

| | | Good thing too, Modern History is the government-approved course. Besides people in Modern History have 2 names, but people in Ancient History only have 1 so you only need to remember half the info!

Seriously high school is like a big bunch of liberal arts majors who think they are the cat's pajamas 'cause they have a piece of paper you don't have. College and uni are so much better.
Can you believe that some high schools don't even let ya go to the bathroom?? |

But most will always ask if they could wait. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
