<p>lol i havent done any hw in the last week and randomly at lunch i'll just be like F*** SCHOOL!!!!! and my friends will stare at me. ugh.</p>
<p>I hear ya. I have to wake up extra early because the community college decided to move my dual enrollment engineering course to the vocational center clear across the county (it starts at 7:30 anyway).</p>
<p>I agree about the vast amounts of wasted time. I wish we could just get our assignments, hear the lectures, and leave! I hate sitting around waiting on other people to finish (that's the beauty of AP classes--no wasted time!).</p>
<p>yes, I"m so bored already! I want it to end already it's gone on for more then it should have</p>
<p>yea i hated HS junior yr, just wished i was in college already, or not in skool at all stm, thats y i didnt come to cc til this yr (senior)</p>
<p>yea, but senior yr is kinda cool... u busy w/ stuff outside of HS, and by second semester nobody can care less about ur grades... its pass fail, a victory lap</p>
<p>Ugh I'm so sick of high school and I'm not even a junior.</p>
<p>i was really sick of hs a while ago.. then i gave myself a week to completely slack off and do the minimal amount of homework/not study for tests.. and now i am back on track ;) haha and a four day weekend helps too.</p>
<p>It's annoying because I'd been sleeping past 1am every night doing work. =/</p>
<p>I love my classes but hate the work.</p>
<p>Eh, I like junior year the best so far. More freedom your school give you. My grades are up from last two years, good classes, good teachers.</p>
<p>Actually lovin' it. Well, as much as any teenager can love highschool :/</p>

^^I agree. There's so much wasted time, like pointless videos, time to sit around and wait for others to finish, time doing busy work problems for material you already understand. It can really tick me off.

<p>completely true.
i got sick of school freshman year.</p>
<p>Oh, count me in.</p>
<p>I at least have gotten really sick of junior year because suddenly school is about getting 100s instead about learning cool stuff... so it's not fun anymore... I really hope that I can regain my school-for-fun mentality next year. <em>crosses fingers, holds breath</em></p>
<p>Homework is a really big stress factor.</p>
<p>"You know why teachers give you so much work? Because they can't trust you to learn the stuff. But in college, that's going to be different. You're going to have to learn on your own. They give you an 800-page book, come back the next day, discuss it, and write a final paper. And then, it's over. That's one reason why I rarely give you assignments to do because I trust that you will read the information and not have to answer those stupid generic questions you get all the time."</p>

I agree with all of that. It's not the academics that I'm sick of... it's just that socially, my school is beginning to feel EXTREMELY restrictive.</p>
<p>Just think about how much better high school is compared to middle school.</p>
<p>"socially, my school is beginning to feel EXTREMELY restrictive."</p>
<p>I agree, I'm a Senior, but I feel like I'm distancing myself with many of my friends. Many kids really just like to drink/do drugs and I'm not really into that. My friends don't do that, but we'll be hanging out and they'll want to drive around yelling at people or shooting off fireworks, both of which I find hopelessly moronic. I'm just looking forward to hopefully finding some different people in college as my HS only has 250 kids in my class.</p>
<p>logisticswizard: True, but I'm still going to school with all the same kids that I've known since seventh grade, and in some ways it's just stifling.</p>
<p>willmingtonwave: Only 250 kids in your class? That's how many kids there are in my entire high school. My actual class has 50 students, and many of them have known each other since kindergarten (I moved here in seventh grade, which is still pretty bad). The grade itself is divided into two factions: the people who party and the people who don't. I'm the latter. Of those, about half are socially inept/annoying/don't shower/etc. I'd say there are about 10 (certainly not more than 15) cool people in my entire grade, about 5 of which I'd consider to be close friends. Dating is impossible because the 2 cool guys we have are taken, and even if they weren't it would just feel incestuous. There's a senior guy I really like, but my school is so grade-segregated that you don't hang out with kids from other grades outside of the EC's you're in together (in my case, school newspaper) so we never have a context to talk to each other in outside of layout, which is awkward, and then there's the slight issue that oh wait! he's graduating!</p>
<p>Yeah, so I'm a bit frustrated... :mad:</p>
<p>Lol, my elementary school was about 40 kids so I can relate a bit. We had a K-8 school that I was so happy to leave. It's because everything you do sticks with you and its hard to make friends with kids you've known for so long.<br>
Thats the thing--the kids who don't party are sometimes very odd. I live on the Jersey shore so alcohol/drugs are very hard to get away from and there isn't a lot to do on the weekends, hence I'm on CC =)</p>
<p>wilmington - my school is pretty much the same way. It must be a Jersey thing. :P</p>
<p>I've lived in my district since pre-school. I've still managed to meet new people over the years, though, because it's a pretty big district so we have 4 elementary schools as well as 2 upper elementary, middle, and high schools plus tons of new kids coming in all the time. Together we have about 900 per grade, but my high school is smaller than the other so we only get about 350 per grade.</p>
<p>haha yeah they same thing has happened in my school, where ive known every single student in our 325-student hs since kindergarden (elem, middle, hs are all one nice big complex)...</p>
