We actually just got done with a trigonometry chapter in my geometry class. Went a lot easier than I expected, though the law of cosines and law of sines can be tricky at times.

Yeah. Once the teacher walked us through how to use the since and cosine laws, it's quite easy.

Ah trig! Better than matrices that's for sure. Just had matrices in my maths c class -not fun!

Huh. I don't know if the high school I go to has a suicide watch. If there is one, I haven't heard about it. Somehow. I haven't heard any reports of suicide where I go though. I think a few years back, a student was killed in a car crash or something. I didn't know him though. A student who died is specifically mentioned in one of my yearbooks, and it might have been the person in said crash, or whatever it was. I forget. That's pretty much it, at least in the years I've been in high school.Not much at all to mention about today, except for someone getting a face full of snowball at Votech.
And that apparently the high school has a "suicide watch" list in which the staff pay close attention to how students act, and the staff can observe any student and put any student's name on the list without the student(s) in question knowing, provided that the staff has reason to put a student on the list.
I haven't gotten to matrices in math yet. I think. But I'm sure I won't like it as much as trig.

Back when I was in 7th grade, one of the most popular students in my grade committed suicide after a fight with his girlfriend. It had a pretty big affect on most people. I remember the day like it was yesterday, but I'm not getting into details.
I'm friends with some of his distant friends, but friends nonetheless. In May, it'll be three years since the student offed himself. Here are those distant friends, making suicide jokes. Its obviously flat out wrong, but it more pisses me off that they're doing it because I've been, literally speaking, within 20 yards of committing suicide myself. Its been since August, but I'm also not getting into details about that.
Bottom line, the suicide jokes need to stop. But the sad thing is, is that I honestly don't think some of those who make said suicide jokes would stop if someone they knew ended up offing themselves.
Anyway, I'd like to get away and move on from the suicide talk. So, talking about math now, I absolutely suck at it. And it doesn't help that my depressed feeling I usually have reaches its highest point in the day when I'm in math class. Actually, I could probably do well if I wasn't filled with depressing thoughts and emotions throughout the entire class.

Okay, let's change the topic to math. What are you doing in math right now? I'm doing some kind of geometry unit, and on Tuesday we started doing trig. First we did sine law, today we did cosine law. Though I've already mentioned this.

We're doing factoring in math class. Its seemingly pretty easy, but thanks to my mind being elsewhere, I can't really explain it too easily or focus on it. I'm fine when its being taught, since I have something to keep my head where it needs to be, but it turns into a train wreck once teacher is done teaching.

Dropped my extra math course I didn't need. Now my white days I only have my Fitness For Life class. It feels weird not being in a class till last block, but I have been getting ahead in my civics class thanks to my five total study halls. We are going to start writing our first narrative in my Writing two class. For the scene we used for practice I wrote about how it was me against my family during Super Bowl XXXVIII.

As is mine. Sometimes it's worse, like 5:45 am.

Can you elaborate on what else goes on behind the scenes? I'm curious.

The processes of programming (developing long-term unit outlines), reporting (monitoring student performance), assessing (testing and examinations) and registrations (detailing everything you cover in class) all spring to mind. And that's just on my end - I have no idea what happens at the senior and executive levels.

I'm currently on the Votech bus going back to the high school. Someone is high as 🤬 right now. It's entertaining yet ridiculous, but apparently the bus driver is going to write everyone on the bus up to the principal.

So that person I mentioned in my post above was doing Oxycodone at Votech, and some friends caught him, but never reported him. On the bus ride back to the high school, his antics as a result of being high were a mix of entertaining yet utterly ridiculous. Then it got to be too much for the bus driver, who shut off the radio and pulled over to yell at everyone on the bus. Now, every Votech student who at least rides the same bus as the Oxycodone user, including me, is likely to get in some kind of trouble. 
School and everything in the damn place is getting unbearable, more than it already has.

Despite gym absolutely killing me every day, I actually have respect for my gym teacher. She actually gets us to work, and works out with us. She always brings these big speakers and plays music off her laptop. She had this Pandora station on today playing electronic music. For most of the gym period, it was playing terrible trap songs, but then it played "The Longest Road" by Morgan Page and Lissie (Deadmau5 remix). Immediately after, it played my favorite song: "I Remember" by Deadmau5.

I might as well post my high school status here.
First off I am a sophomore in high school. I am an average (sometimes above average) student yet I have made honor roll all of last year and the 2 marking periods so far this year. My strong suits are Social Studies (U.S History currently), and Math (Geometry). Weak points are Science (all of it) and Spanish (last year was actually good though). Other classes are straight forward except for a class called Tech Problem Solving. So far we've built trebuchets and are currently working with Legos.
That's basically all about my current HS situation. If you have any questions, ask me.
