High School

[Doog]

Its like a blog. I don't see any point of it. I only use Facebook to keep up with my GT5 friends and such. Anyways do you know if psychology is any help to a career in car designing or maybe racing? Because I chose a computer design class and I got psychology

Doubt it. Unless you open up a business as a therapist and give each of your patients a drawing of a car you made, they aren't related. I'd be interested in psychology myself.

Sounds stupid. Also, I doubt it.

Haha true. Sadly there's no classes besides the design class I mentioned and I don't even know if its designing cars

I didn't have to go to school so I didn't experience the horrors of what might of been today.

They pretty much told me I can't graduate because they 🤬 up my schedule last year. Assholes.

Hello. Ima 8th grader. But, I want some tips from what is going to be happening in high school, and all the changes and how you guys manage to get time outta your homework-filled life to be able to still go on gtplanet and post. Plus, I see some guys posting in the middle of the night? When da 🤬 do you go to sleep? And on weekends in the morning no one is online? LoL.

Between the expletive laden rants, the colossal amount of slow chatting and the multi-posting, this thread is closed until further notice.

 

[TB]

A few rules if this thread is going to survive.

1) If you feel the need to discuss something that is bothering you or you're pissed off at/with, by all means post it. HOWEVER. Don't go off on an expletive laden rant to do so. If you can't present it in a civil manner, don't bother hitting the submit button.
2) This isn't Facebook. If you'd like to make a comment akin to "I'm going to sleep" do it on Facebook, not GTPlanet.
3) You do not need to have a comment for every single post that is made.
4) Short of being separated by more than a few hours, there is never a need to double post.
5) This is a forum. A forum is for discussion. If what you're posting has nothing to discuss (see #2) don't post it.

Go. Carefully.

Thank you for reopening the thread TB. Today at school, we continued working on our resumes and cover letters for co-op. My co-op teacher called the place I want to get my 200 hours of work that are required to pass the course in completed, and all I have to do know is finish typing up my reference page, schedule an interview for Friday the 14th, and hope it goes well. We also had the beginning of the year assembly today, at the end of the assembly I received an Honour Roll Award for having an average above 80% last year. It was nice to get some recognition for the effort I put forth. And I am working even harder this year.

As a first year University student, I highly suggest you use high school to develop good study and organizational habits. It's seriously important.

I'm good with organization, but studying not so much.
It's VERY rare that I study for something. I did a few times last year just briefly looking over my notes for a biology test last year, but that's it otherwise. I just don't need to. Tell me something once and I can usually remember it. Suppose I'm one of those auditory learners.

 

[Sttrobe]

Haha, I used to be exactly like that for the past 3 years. Not study for anything, yet organized.
Till I moved to a more organized & strict school, and well. That changed my life & i've never been happier.

 

[alexlam24]

So who here has orchestra? I play cello. Pretty fun instrument, except it weighs 60lbs with the hard case on and I have to walk home with it 1/3 of a mile

I'm the exact same way.

Thanks TB, this thread is really helpful in my opinion.

Well, apparently my new band director is going to start a jazz band at our school, and I really want to join, but it's going to start when the winter drum line starts, and I'd rather do the winter drumline. I really hate that I won't be able to do both. Or maybe I will if jazz band is on different days. I did jazz band in middle school playing drum set and I really liked it.

Does anyone else have a jazz band at their school?

Cheers TB, was kind of missing this thread.

Yesterday I finally had my first Resistant Materials lesson. Turns out my predictions were right, and I am the only girl in there. It doesn't bother me that much, a few of my guy-friends are in there too, but I'm not sat with them. A few of the popular guys are in there too, but the ones who need their posse around them to act like idiots, so they don't really do much apart from make the odd funny remark at each other. All in all, it's not as bad as I thought it was going to be. My teacher is pretty cool - he's part of the 'Senior Leadership Team'. By that I don't mean he leads seniors, I mean he's a senior teacher and has a special status. It surprised me how nice he was, usually I see him wandering around school giving kids the evils to stop them from behaving out of order. He gave us some drawing tutorials, how to design stuff quickly and take short-cuts when drawing.

I'm also finally getting moved into GCSE Science. Apparently my request to be moved never reached the Science department, yet I asked the woman who was supposed to be behind organising the classes . I'll have to catch up on Biology though, as the class I'm moving into has already done that, but in BTEC I feel like we've been doing photosynthesis for the whole time I've been in there. I just wasn't liking it in there. I was being taught like a 5 year old, because most people in there had the mental ability of a 5 year old, and I know my intelligence is way more than that...

Just keep this in mind - the staff might be the ones to actually close a thread but the members are the ones that ultimately decide its fate. Follow the rules, the thread stays open. Simple. 👍

I'm not saying that you need to study to be successful in high school; you don't, it's a joke. The important part is that you have 4 nearly consequence free years to develop good study habits. I was the same way in high school, I'd skim my notes for 45 minutes the night before the exam, and still pull off high 80's or 90's in most of my courses (besides math).

The thing is, if you hope to continue with education, you WILL need to develop better study habits eventually. Do it in high school, where there's really not much consequence if you screw up (because it's a joke, and because your marks don't matter until Gr. 11-12). I'm in my first year university, and it's hard to change old habits (or a lack thereof). I never needed to study in high school because it's so easy, but now that I'm in university and I need to study, I don't know how, and have trouble.getting down to work.

Yeah I do. They're really good actually.

Also thanks TB, it's a helpful thread to me also. It's also fun reading the story's that people have. 👍

I started tech yesterday and I love it. Nobody telling you what to do, YOU are responsible for where you need to be. Except I have the WORST ID photo ever taken. But I got my fourth class switched to Biology with a teacher I already knew and like. Plus I have a few good friends in there.

 

[hawkeye122]

We do, and for the past 3 years, most of my mates were in it. They were a lively bunch, and quite entertaing to watch, not just for the music, but the antics as well.


They stopped doing it their senior year because they were tired of spending 2 hours after school.

I was in the punk rock band at my school, that was sort of like jazz, at least, when I wrote the songs...

I like how my math teacher gave out a math test on the 3Rd day of school. Very smart idea teacher... Anyways how much sleep do you usually get? I get about 6 hours

Starting back up with grade 12, first few days have been allright.
Manufacturing.
Gym.
Math.
English

Spare.
Manufacturing.
Martial Arts.
Martial Arts.

It sucks that I can't have 2 spares in the same semester, because that would make me a part time student and the school wouldn't get as much funding.

I wanted to take a martial arts in first semester and second so that I could get my orange belt, and then my green belt.

But since there is no class for me in first semester, I have to try and do both back to back.
So I have to learn things that I would need skills that I have not learned yet to complete.

Plus martial arts is an extremely physical course, and I have them back to back.

You're one lucky female dog. I want martial arts. Quit when I was a yellow because it wouldn't fit my elementary school schedule

Homecoming is in a few weeks. Everyone but me is excited.

A. "Woo! Theres a dance!"
Yeah, for the 4th year in a row, I won't be attending.

B. "Woo! Homecoming Football!"
For the first time ever, I won't be in a Football uniform on that night. As much as I like my Sports Med class, it's just not the same.


Anyone else dreading Homecoming?

 

[Jahgee]

Unfortunately for me, they made a mistake and I have to take another year of Spanish

Can't you change it?
