High School

I've an example of the "one person ruins it all" scenario. My last class of the day is gym class. Today we got to mess around with the basketballs and do our own thing, which was pretty nice. We get down to 15-20 minutes left in class, and some idiot decides to throw a basketball at the teacher. :rolleyes: Well, he freaks out and has us sit along a wall for the rest of class in silence.

Now, I'm not sure if the ball took a bad bounce off the backboard or something, or actually did get thrown at the teacher, as I was all the way across the gym. And the teacher was doing something on his phone anytime someone near me would look at him. He was so close to taking the entire class down to the principal's office. I was pretty nervous, and needless to say, I'm even more nervous about going into gym class tomorrow. :nervous: And what makes the whole thing worse is that the teacher was a substitute. If there was a facepalm similie, it'd be right here: ___.
 
Of the close friends I have now whom I went to high school with, none of them were anything more an acquaintance (at most) during those high school years. That was only 8 years ago and it should be noted that I have no problems with any of my old friends, we just naturally grew apart in adulthood. I would say that I think about high school as often now as I thought about elementary school when I was in high school.

Anyways, just some hopefully helpful perspective for you guys to consider if you ever feel the crazy pressure that can go along with high school drama. The world will not end if high school ends badly for you.
 
Our Gym Teacher is also our Health Teacher & the Drivers Ed Teacher, the closest to that we've had is that once during Indoor Soccer, a kick almost nailed him in the head while he was talking to the superintendent, he didn't get hit though and thought it was hilarious.

I only now remember that if I heard correctly, the substitute for our normal gym class is a former US armed forces serviceman. But more on topic, I suppose if someone's going to do something stupid it makes the most sense doing so in gym class. And I should say that the teacher's only contact with the basketball was reaching out to stop it. As for thinking a near hit was hilarious, I can certainly see my middle school gym teacher doing so. I've had him since 2nd grade, then moved to middle school gym class before the start of 6th grade.
 
In my art class today, two girls (particularly freshmans) decided to play with each others hair, but for some stupid reason, one of them decided to bring out a hair curler out in the middle of class. One of my friends (a guy) actually joined them, and for odd reason had his pants sagging below his a**. Also today in my Pre-Ap Geometry class, we were doing an assignment in class when I saw an old woman standing next to a student who is next to me. At the time, I felt lazy to do my work, and just stared at it. When I turn back at the old woman, I saw her name on her i.d., and it was the superintendent. The moment I saw that, I went into "Oh S:censored:t" mode, and pretended to work.
 
Well... we had our trainwreck of a homecoming dance :crazy::yuck:;):sly::cheers:

And I effed up my first time playing volleyball with our varsity team, right in front of our coach. Well I guess I'm not being varsity anytime soon.

But, I got a 95% on my pre-bull****ulus honors class, which is godly given that I had a 54% prior to that. Now I'm cruising at a C :bowdown:
 
Wow, what a joy ride, leaving high school into college. Anyone who despises high have no fear it's beautiful on the other side, also hello. :)
 
Today at one of the high schools on our campus, first the fire alarm was pulled, then we got an update that a water pipe broke, and that school had to be evacuated... so we have been sitting in 2nd hour for over two hours, with a possibility of us going home early... crazy day so far.

EDIT: update: a watermain broke in the school, causing the fire alarm to go off twice... then rumors started that my school had a deer in it, the problematic school has a shark in its pool, and that baby reindeer were attacking the firefighters at the schools :lol: I think they got really bored...

We also were a few minutes from going home, until they fixed it

You have a driving class?

Do you get a bonus if you include drifts on the year end project?:dopey:

Don't know, never took it, but it's a summer class and from what I hear it's really fun for a driving class. I'll tell you after this year :lol:
 
Today, I heard the most funniest thing in my Spanish 2 class. In my last class period of the day I was working on a project in spanish class; at one point, my dumb friend was standing up, and looking at a picture of a brown oval on the wall. Below the picture, it clearly says óvalo (Spanish for oval). When my teacher saw my friend, she asked him what he was doing. I didn't heard what my friend said, but I think he said something along the line of "I'm looking on how spell brown." My teacher started cracking up. :lol: I asked one of my fellow classmate on what happened, and I started laughing as well. I guess my friend either didn't see the poster on the same wall with the basic colors in spanish, or he's a massive idiot.
 
Today my crazy friend Shawn had two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Michelangelo action figures in Algebra and was playing with them. It was funny yet embarrassing. And the teacher only said one simple, not yelling at him thing while he was putting them away, which in all honesty is the opposite of what otherwise would've happened.
 
I never thought I'd see myself thinking like this. IN high school I'd use being a bit tired as an excuse to fake illness and stay off, I hated it that bad.
Now I'm in college it's all changed.
Today for example I threw up as I got out of bed, but I like college so much I actually attempted to get ready to go out, just had an anti-sickness tablet and some toast but as I was about to go out I knew I physically couldn't do it and I was so gutted. Thing is I hate half my lessons but I love the people and the environment so much so it doesn't matter.
Speaking of lessons I hate, computing, the most drab excuse for a subject ever taught by the worst excuse for a teacher I've seen. He keeps going on about needing to focus which is rather difficult when he talks for an hour straight by which time half of us are asleep, then says how if we don't focus we won't stand a chance in the 2nd year, which is ironic considering half of us have confirmed we're dropping the subject after this year.
Still, it's better than any high school lessons I ever had, at least I don't despise everyone around me, frankly they're all lovely, even people who I thought I'd never want to speak to or they'd never want to speak to me.
 
That last line in Villain's post really speaks to me.

Of all the years I had in high school, my freshman year was the only one I actually liked, the rest where the worst years of my life, period. I had countless things going on that to this day I still cannot describe as well as things I don't even like to talk about. I honestly was sad the day of graduation while everyone else was happy. I could not stop thinking about things I wish I had said and done my senior year. However I have been out of high school for a year and a half now and truthfully things have been a lot better since I have been out and the things that happened then are all behind me now. Like Villain said.

You will have better things to look forward to later in life. :)
 
I remember way back in ELE & HS, there was strange substitute teachers that looked like Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Tanner from Driv3r, and there was a gym teacher that looked like AXEL from Twisted Metal III. Lol.
There was one that got so mad when everyone didn't stop talking, literally annihilated the door from its hinges and left.
 
In 7th grade, we had a substitute that looked like a grown-up version of a student in the same class. This same substitute is now filling in for my gym teacher, who underwent surgery a while ago.
 
Last year our math teacher got pissed enough to start swearing at us, then threw a textbook on the floor. Made my day.
 
I was in my civics class the other day when the kid a couple of spots over got in trouble for being off task. He said "But it's a chevy cavalier with a body kit!" Then the teacher said that the cavalier sucks and he showed a picture of the on he wanted (which was riced up as hell)

Then another kid near by whom I know a little bit better, talked
(bragged) about how cool the corvette he was going to get when he gets his liscense is (even though its a C4, but it is a 1000 times better then a cavalier with a body kit). Then I said Vipers are better then Vettes and it was me against 5 people in a debate. And the kid who wanted the cavalier said that Vipers suck because "on GRAN TURISMO it only gets 1008 HP fully tuned while the Corvette
gets more. And it even says on the box that it is The Real Driving Simulator".

There is a reason I don't talk to many people at my school about cars that often. Not saying they are all like that, but there are quite a few
that are.

Well talking about cars in a class which is called "Civics" sounds sort of relevant to me. :P


I know I know, it's not really a class about Civics.
 
I remember last year a fire alarm went off right before the senior thingy-ma-bob, and everyone who was dressed up had to walk out side because some girl burnt her hair with a curler and I thought that was worth sharing.
 
Skipped computing today, being told I'm going to get it in the neck from my teacher. You know what? I really couldn't care less. I'm dropping it whatever the outcome of my exams are, I despise it so much. I can't now unfortunately because we have to do 3 a-levels minimum and I'm doing a GCSE and 3 a-levels. It sucks really, I feel now like that my computing lessons are just wasted hours.
