<p>Haha, I comfort myself with the fact that I have a lot less work right now than I will in the coming years.</p>
<p>Hey guys! Hope you all had a happy holidays! Are all of you back in school yet, and how long were your guys’ breaks? At my old school our breaks were usually 1 week, 1 and a half tops, but this year it was almost 3 weeks. Lol I had no idea what to do with myself. :)</p>
<p>I go back on the 8th. All of my breaks are 2.5 weeks and summer is 7 weeks.</p>
<p>I go back the 7th. My break was two weeks.</p>
<p>I got back this Wednesday!!!</p>
<p>By the way, are you guys studying for the midterms??</p>
<p>I don’t think my school really has midterms. We just have finals at the end of each semester.</p>
<p>Yeah, my school runs on a trimester basis. Just three finals a year.</p>
<p>My school takes finals after each semester. We took our finals before we went on Winter Break. I’m glad they did it this way so I don’t have to study over break. I hope I did well.</p>
<p>I get back tomorrow (January 7th), making my break two weeks. =)</p>
<p>My school runs on the 4 x 4 schedule, so we had midterms a long time ago. Finals are a week or so before the end of January, and then NEW CLASSES!!!</p>
<p>^I’m totally jealous of your schedule. With my schedule, I only get to take 6 classes a year.</p>
<p>omg theres 126 pages of posts. my hs has 4 quarters and people usually take 8 classes a year. we have midterms in the end of january. i actually like high school unlike most people cuz the honors english teacher decided to give us less work for absolutely no reason and my ap’s are fairly simple. some kids still complain though.</p>
<p>Agalagalaga, sorry but I’m going to complain. I hate HS and I don’t even know why, the work wasn’t as bad as I actually expected but I still hate it. I just don’t want to go through this hellhole for 3.5 more years. I know a lot of people who say HS is much worse than college and I just can’t wait. I guess my main problem is with a few things. The workload and the stupidity that we are in school doing work for 8 hours only to be sent home with more work. The whole fact that the American school system sucks and is focused on making people memorize things than actually think and be useful. I hate that our system is centered around testing, and the immature people. My “peers” spend too much effort solving a problem with bullying and force than just simply ignoring it/them and people who live in their own little boxes and deny anything outside of it.</p>
<p>Oh, and that our school system is obsessed with making people socialize and work together with constant group work. I’m an introvert, don’t force me.</p>
<p>I actually really love high school. Maybe it is because I go to a really open, great, accepting school, but I feel like most people are a lot nicer and more mature than they were in middle school. I also love that the barriers between grades have just about disappeared – I often cannot tell the difference between a freshman and a senior, and everyone usually treats each other the same. Obviously it is not perfect, but I feel that it is a lot better in that area than it has been in years prior.</p>
<p>I also feel like a lot more opportunities have opened up. Before, all I really cared about was academics (I usually ended up quitting my extracurriculars, even if it took six years to do so), but suddenly I want to do everything! I love how a lot of things are completely student-run and student-organized.</p>
<p>Class of 2016 represent!</p>
<p>I’m kinda meh about high school. I’m doing fine with academics but not so hot with extracurriculars. Aside from sports, no other activities are active or well supported by the administration.</p>
<p>Oh, adding on to being immature, every student is in heavy competition mode. Half the kids try to find out other peoples grades to make themselves feel superior and the other person (me) feel like ****. My grades are meh and same with ECs.</p>
<p>My goodness inscared6, I’m in love with your post. Other than that I really like how you guys kept this whole thing going for months now!</p>
<p>^are you a freshman too?</p>
<p>Yes, why?</p>
