Preserved Topic: First Day of High School (Page 1 of 2)

Yup, its today..
It's a "do what you want, when you want school", so I might be able to find a computer to come post here with. I have to make a lunch, shave, then comb my hair.

I might stop in before I leave.

I'm leaving now, buh bye <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

I remember high school. It was really...

...


wait, I don't remember high school. I have pictures, but they don't fill the void that is gaping in my head.

Good luck to you, Dan.

Yea, I had my first day of school today too. It was rough, all the little fuckers getting in my way, bored out of my mind, and I realized that I hate all my teachers. The only positive was meeting all my friends that I hadn't seen for a while. Other than that, today sucked!

LMAO @ mbridge... my sentiments exactly!

My senior year starts next wednesday... My school is *not* one of those "do what you want when you want" schools; in fact, I'd say it's a fairly bad school in this sense; it's extremely strict about things that aren't necessary. Aside from that, I guess I'm getting a good education, so, eh.

I'm also supposed to have an idea of where I'm going for college, and I have *none* at all... so what happens next? I dunno.

Yeah Im starting my senior year wensday too. Im in that whole AP class crowd so pretty much the teachers and principals let us do whatever we want. Its pretty cool actually. Only problem is the computer department got two new teachers that I havent met yet. Usually I spend the whole day online but now it just depends if the new teachers let me.

Yeah Im supposed to have an idea on where Im going to college too. My friends have taken a more active roll in looking into it then me. I did awesome on my SAT's and have good grades so I can pretty much go anywhere I pretty much just wanna pick the school with the highest girls to guys ratio....

wow, and to think i've been in a shitty mood all week because of the massive influx of freshman college students on campus..

what i wouldn't give to be able to kick a high schooler instead, haha.

you hear that kids? if any of you are coming to my campus to check it out, give me a warning so i can wear my boots on that day.

cheers.mikey.milker

Heh heh. I had a friend in school, brilliant guy, but he tested *awful*, dyslexic as all hell. He wanted a school where he could study auto mechanics. He also wanted a school with a lot of girls nearby. They had this primitive little tool with cards and holes punched in it, you made your selections and out popped numbers of schools. He ended up at the "Cumberland Community College" in the boonies of the Maryland panhandle. They taught three subjects; nursing, secretarial skills, and, you guessed it, mechanics. 10 girls for every guy in town, he was in heaven! I visited him several times at school over the years, what a town Cumberland was! Ah...

Your pal, -doc-

I'm a junior now, so it's tight. Lots of girls to go around for us juniors. My school isn't too strict, especially for the "AP crowd" as Jestah calls it. I'm really pissed though, my calc teacher gave us a packet of shit to learn, and we have a test tomorow! Stupid bitch. Sorry for my excessive swearing if swearing offends any of you.

Wow mbridge. A Junior taking calc? The highest we could take in my school was pre-calc as a junior. I skipped calc this year though. Im taking AP Math. Shouldnt be that bad though. Although I heard the teachers a real prick. Usually the AP teachers are real cool...

Well, I'm already working on my flirting for tomarrow. First day, and an 18 year old catches my eye. Even if I'm too *young* for her, I gotta at least be a close friend <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

Back to the school thing... it seems nice so far. At the beggining of the day we have to check into our T.A. and plan out our day. I plan on at least having 90 minutes a day of socializing time. Good thing, that grade 12 girl is in my T.A., and she's always staring back at me <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/biggrin.gif">

This school real is do what you want when you want, though. And according to my schedual, I'll have all the courses I need done, finished by mid-May, leaving me some time to get part of my grade 11 done. It would be nice to finish 3 years in two. So I can get a whole year off <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> Not just some crappy spares..

- Dan -

Yeah, between AP's, college courses, honors and teachers assistant I got well over the credits need to graduate high school after just two years, our HS is 4 years though. Unfortunatly health hasta be taking in 11th grade which I think I told you guys I didnt go and ended up with a not so great grade so i took it over this summer to get my gpa back to a 106. Also gym hasta be taking every year. That sorta sucks because while I love sports, I would have liked to graduate at 16 a lot more. I could leave after 4 periods(state mandatory) this year but I decided since all my friends hafta stay till at least 8th period(9 overall) I might as well too. I dont have anything better to do and it looks better for college.


BTW what is TA?

Its the teacher we check in with every morning..

- Dan -

Jestah-I'm 2 years ahead of my grade, Calc BC AP is what I'm in, it's basically the highest math offered at our school (there's only 15 students in it). It's worth 4 college credits (2 years) of math. With all these APs I'm taking, I'll have enough college credits to graduate college in 2 years. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

Ugh, I'm taking all APs too... AP calc, AP statistics, AP physics, and AP french. And then the lowest level of enlgish there is. Thankfully, I've had 3 years of history, and I dont have to take that this year.

But it kind of worries me that I have no idea at all where I'm going for college... I want to go somewhere that offers a lot of info about web design, the internet, computer languages, etc... but the only places in my area that do that are incredibly hard and I'd hate to work that hard. So I don't know what's going to happen to me when I graduate...

Wow Slime we're a lot alike. Actually my gf seems to be more interested in my college then I am. I want to start applying but Im not too sure how to go about it and I dont really know what I want to go into. I figured I should take business administration and minor in Computer Science but I might double major in both. Does anyone know the difference in double majoring and major/minor?

Anyways Ive taken lots of AP's since hs. Theres bio, chem, physics,us history, european history, science, computer a( i think thats what its called and computer b(again I think thats what its called.) Ive never gotten below a 4 on any of them and Ive taking college Spanish. College Accounting 1, college Accounting 2, and Web Design(it only counted for college credit at a local college tho)

Impressive mbridge, AP Math is pretty much the last AP I can take now. My guidence consolor wanted me to take AP Itallian too. I never took an Itallian course in my life but she said its so similar to spanish I would pick it up in no time. I dont think so though, I dont want to kill my gpa my final year.

Im sure I have more college credits then that though. Hell by the time Im outta high school I should be finishing up college too <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> So how did you guys do on your SAT's?

As much as I hate to admit it, I scored a 1590 on my SATs. *sigh*

As far as AP courses and subsequent tests go, I scored 5's on my AP Calc A-B, Comp, EuroHist and AmerHist.

can you only imagine how much I was mocked by my peers? *le sigh*

jestah: SATs? hrm.. it's hard to remember 'cause i went stoned and on 5 hours of sleep...

oh yeah, 1400. and that was my sophomore year, i only got smarter as the years went on (hence the reason i never took the test again, fuck that bullshit).

same with AP tests... i totally blew that off and wrote about 'star wars: empire strikes back' as my novel of literary merit (haha); and the dumb bastards gave me a 3 on the test, which meant i got to waive first part of college English. except i took the first part anyways, just for the hell of it.

fuck school.

twitch: 1590? slacker... =D

Good luck to all you kiddoes (as if im not one) who go back to school!

hell i cant even remember what i got on my sat's...i tried to block out the entire schooling experience....

what the heck is happening to our youth, i remeber the days when kids just went off campus to have a smoke and a beer, and well didnt go back to class...i guess i remember *some* things about school... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/tongue.gif">

the only thing you learn in college is how to drink beer (imo of course <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">

I've never taken an SAT.. I dunno if we even use em in Canada. IQtest.com said I had a 166, or 168 IQ or something like that, however... obviously thats not accurate =P

And yes, Dan shaves, Dan shaves quite often now.. =[ more work then its worth he thinks.

I couldn't take AP courses in this school, you had to take everything, or nothing, and I wouldn't want to take AP English. So Im just doing most of my 10 and 20's in the same year. I'll have more then enough credits to graduate high school after my 2nd year. But wont have earned many University crdeits. Maybe thats what I could do for a 3rd year? I was thinking just take time off, and get a job.

Oh well, still a lot of time to think about it.

- Dan -

We started HS the 7th, im a Junior now, Lame classes galore. Really sucks bad. I havent taken the SAT again since 7th grade. (4 years ago?) Im a smart kid, sorta, cept i dont do my homework, and i cease to care. (really bad mental state to fall into by the way) i scored a 445 on the english and a 465 on the math. This is in 7th grade, giving me a 910. Not to bad considering 90% of the math section hadn't been taught to me yet. And the english, well, lets just say a 7th graders vocab isent what it used to be <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif">. I wanna take some courses, read some books, so i can score as high as possible. Hell, who doesnt.

Day 2 starts tomarrow...
Blah!

- Dan -

Jeez Dan...starting high school? How old are you. I start what your would call your 'Senior Year', but what we call 'One Big, Boiling Pot 'o Stress Highlighted with brief periods of extreme stress.'

Otherwise known as 'Year 12'




Don't make me come down there! - God

you guys are making me feel old. class of '95 and never looking back.

Wow thats a good score twitch. I havent talked to many people that beat me ... 1540 I think. I almost had a perfect score my on PSATs ... not that they matter. Of course I dont qualify for the National Merit Scholarship(sp?) The score was more then enuff they said you hafta actually need financial aid. That and you need to learn to spell, which i cant lol.

Actually I got a 4 on my AP US History exam. For one of the eassay questions I wrote about playing hockey. My teacher is still pissed at me cause he said I would have had a five. I was happy with the 4 though. I didnt have a clue what the question was asking nor did I know anything remotely related to earn me some points ...

jay ~ suffice to say I get bored easily and standardized testing is more than simplistic in comparison to some of the more complex philisophical and rhetorical debates that friends and I get into. the ACTs were also rather simple--didn't miss one of those motherfucking questions. haha!

Sometimes I wish the voices in my head would actually just shut up for ONE GODDAMNED MINUTE.

(sigh)

(goes back to work)

Not doubting all your scores at all, but just wondering why every person I meet on a forum scored a 1500+ on their SATs and won the national medal of science 4 years in a row during high school... <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

Oh, and everyone in a public forum is 6'1"+ and 200+ pounds...

*chuckles*




Never insult someone until you have walked a mile in their shoes... that way, if they don't like it, you're at least a mile away, and you have their shoes.

Don't worry Tycho, I only got a 1430... =)

It's probably because the skills involved in web design and similar things, which people come to this board to talk about, are the same skills that help with testing and such. For instance, I got an 800 on the math section and a 630 on the english section; you'll notice that JavaScript and POV-Ray (kinda) are my strengths, both based on a ton of math.

Anyone here live near the state of massachusetts and have some college reccomendations...?

I got a 1300 on the sat in 7th or 8th grade. I'm somewhere around 1500 now, without having studied. I should be up around 1550+ by the actual one. Yea, I think slime is right. Computer design and programming in general tends to attract more intelligent people. Then again, I'm sure there are those people out there that exagerate.

Tycho:
I can assure you that my scores are all real. I guess in this forum everyone seems to have higher scores because we were graced with your pressence. Thats the only logical explaination. Seriously though, I think its just because we're all a little nerdy here. I mean most of the people posting in this thread do have pretty good skills when it comes to coding which shows the math. Im a history buff and even though I cant spell at all I do awesome in English. Foreign languages are really hard for me though. I had a tough time with Spanish and if it wasnt for a lot of my friends I wouldnt have done so well as I had. Anyway Im retaking my SATs and Im aiming to beat twitch <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> Havent taken any SAT2's or ACT's yet though. A lot of my friends have and said they were really easy.

Speaking of winning the national medal of science 4 years in a row ... well no I didnt. I have a lot of friends though that have won lots of science awards. Im not sure what awards exactly but when they do give them out check the paper, they always list where they're from and at least 50% are from Long Island. Im good in science ... not great tho <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/frown.gif">

Don't ask me how I know what I know or why I do what I do.

Tim, do you actually expect a 15 year old to way 220+ lbs? That would be DAMN unhealthy <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> Im not a "scron" or anything.., I'm actually pretty buff <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/wink.gif">

High School you have me thinking it was another period of adjustment into the slow dawning of insight that now I was going to have to tread out and take responsibility for my own education.
Are we what we read and certainly what we dream about as we look out the window. I still read, use my imagination and am amazed at how I get smarter almost in spite of limits.

Enjoy your youth and don't take wrinkles too seriously as you look at clouds stream by.
