Ditto! High five! 
Tomorrow I finally start schoolā¦ Iām actually more or
less indifferent about it. I quite honestly donāt have any friends at school (which explains why I spend my
entire life online here ), but itās not like any of my classmates hate me or anything, I just donāt
āhang out.ā I just go to school for the learning, reallyā¦ Iām looking forward most to seeing my
theatre teacher again. 
Durring my Freshman year in High School, I have been
hanging out with the wrong people. Not people like drug addicts, but people who donāt care about school or their
future. As the year progressed, I became friends with people who actually cares, not just about their carrer and
life, but their friends also. Now, I am really happy to be back at school. What I am really excited about is the
school plays, musicals, choir concerts, and other stuff.
Iāll agree with JamieLew. Middle
school is the worst of all the grades because everyone thinks theyāre āall that.ā High school is the
best, so far.
Iām a senior in high school and I couldnāt love it any more! Iāve been at school for 3
weeks now, and so far itās a smooth ride. Nice classes, fun teachers, and lots of hanging out with friends!
Huzzahh! Lol. This summer has been pretty bleh with my assignments looming over
my head the whole timeā¦ and most of the time I was either at summer school or band camp. Urg. I donāt know,
once I get them all done with I might actually be glad school is starting up. I really do love my friendsā¦
I love the fact that I have a varietyā¦ some care about school and grades a lot and some care more about having
fun. Theyāre all great too, and they care about friendshipā¦ which is the most important part in the long
run.
Iām off
to start my senior year of high school in exactly thirty minutes. At least first days arenāt so bad ā¦ I hope
today isnāt, anyway. My school sometimes gets messed up with program cards ā¦ 
I agree, JamieLew, that friends are very important when it comes to school and
life in general. I mean, sure, if one does well in exams, then theyāve possibly got some good future prospects,
but at the same time, you can look at all those billionaires with like one GCSE and think 'THEY didnāt have to
work as hard, yet look at them!ā
Iām so excited because Iām getting into a new school at Monday, the school is kinda High-School.
I donāt
know ANYONE in the whole school! And I have to go by train around 2 hours a day. 
Iām startinā 10th grade tommorow, woot!
[size=75]Iām
scared[/size]
Good Luck, Meg. 
Hope you wonāt be eaten by the Monster School. 
Iām going into
10th grade too! Except I go on Thursdayā¦ tomorrow Iām going to Disneyland lol.
Hooray, sophomores unite, andā¦ all that.
Whoo.
First day of school today, although it was really just class meeting and schedules being handed out,
with 10-minute ācapsule classesā to help us get used to our schedules and where to go. My history
teacher looks like a pretty fun guy, though, as well as the precalculus teacher. Spanish is going to be a
complete drag; itās like literature class all over again, just in Spanish! Ugh.
Overall, though, canāt
really complain.
Are you insinuating that your school day was only about an hour long?
No, actually; it was only an hour shorter than a normal
day. Chapel first thing in the morning, big long spiel on the Honor System and then the entire student body
getting up and signing that they will abide by the system (that took some time), class meetings, very long lunch,
advisory meetings, and then seven 10-minute periods with 10-minute
āfind-your-way-to-the-next-classroomā breaks in between.
Youāre taking Pre-calc as a sophmore? Thatās pretty advance, well to my school system standards. Iām
going into Algebra II this year and Pre-calc my Junior year. (Iām not behind by my school standards, ahead
actually since itās an honors class).
Iām curious, are you guys good students? Do you get good grades?
On top of extra-curiculars?
When I was a
Freshman, I was horrible. I didnāt care. Now as a junior, I am a very good student. I balance extra activities
and school rather well.
As a Frosh .
. . yeah, I was good with grades and everything, but I wasnāt so keen on Extracurricular Activities. That was
until Sophomore year, where I just sort of exploded.
Hereās a brief list of
what I did OFTEN:
Clubs:
Knowledge Masters (3 Years)
National Honors
Society (3 Years)
Speech & Debate (1 Quarter)
Liturgical Choir (2 1/2 Years)
Covert American
Politics (2 Years)
The Monday Morning Newsletter (1 Year)
[b]Other Annual Activities I
did:[/b]
The Frosh Retreat (4 Years)
The School Auction (3 Years)
The School Open House (2
Years)
Summer Day Camp Volunteer (3 Years)
The Michelangelo Project (Painting Ceiling Tiles my Senior
Year)
Deanās TA (1 Year)
I just came to be known as someone always available when needed, and I always
enjoyed helping my high school!
EDIT - Oh, and I graduated with a 3.8 Weighted, 3.6 Unweighted. I was NO
WHERE NEAR the Top of my class (Some dude pulled off a 4.5), but I was proud of myself
Wow thatās a lot of stuff! Lol. I take all honors classes, academically wise. Except
for history which I took over the summer to free up a period. Iām in percussion which takes up almost all my
time. Zero period practice and 3 hour rehearsals twice a week and when 2nd semester starts up weāre gonna have
an additional 5 hour practice on Saturdays. 
Yeah. Not to mention competitions which are usually almost
every week and basically all of Saturday. Other than thatā¦ I guess Iām really active in my schoolās JCL (Latin
club) and Iām even secretary this year! Iām gonna be really busy. Iām starting art this year soā¦ I donāt
know how that will be yet.
I concentrate on school a lot and I donāt have much free time in the first
place so Iām not all around like you, Phoenician! Iām anxious for the school year because Iām afraid Iāll be
stressed and busy all the timeā¦
Just simply say to yourself: Whatās wrong with being busy? As long as your doing what you
enjoy, you shouldnāt be stressing. Life would be boring if we were never busy, not to mentioned the
occasionally stressed!
Yea you can consider
me one of those āgoodā students. Last year I finished off with uhh, a 4.28 GPA and in my sophmore year
I took precalc too. But the hard part was that I had to take precalc and geometry the same year cause I skipped
it by mistake the year before. But it was good to get it over with. I was taking calc by junior year! 
Iām not really into clubs but Iām into athletic stuff. Right now Iām in the marching band right after
that thereās basketball then possibly track(depending on if I wanna get a job or not). Then back to basketball
training in the summer
