High School

[alexlam24]

I need some advice here guys! I've known this one girl for around a couple of years. We would talk rarely and we got along well. In the last two weeks we've went from barely talking to walking up to each other in the hallway and having conversation or high fiving each other, not giving a damn that everyone walking by thinks we're nuts. Usually I'm nervous around girls but not around her, she's fun, she looks good and she has a personality that is great. Should I make a move and ask her out? I feel that I should, and I really want to, but I unsure if it would be a good move.

Well just do what most people+ me do. Ask her out. That's pretty much how my first one started,(her parents hate me though so I'm single now). Do what you want in high school

 

[Quackjack]

Do it. Just use good ole logic.

1. You don't ask her out. You have 0% chance, you gain nothing.
2. You ask her out. You have, say, 50%.

Do you want to take the chance or sit there?

Now be a man and do it.

I'm doing this tomorrow. But it seems simple enough.

Today we had to go to look at 10 cars and figure out the name, model year, make/model/vehicle type, VIN, year built, engine size, and cylinders. Me and maybe two/three others actually knew what we were doing. The rest simply couldn't look at a sticker and figure out all that.

In English my friend and I were talking about motorcycles.
(Specifically the difference in sound between a Harley and a crossplane crankshaft Yamaha R1)
The teacher COMPLETELY lost it. He was screaming and swearing at me, it actually really scared all of the girls in the area.

It was probably when I muttered "Jesus Christ" under my breath when he told me to be quiet, although I do that anyways, it wasn't directed at him.

I also don't respect him because he thinks the death penalty shouldn't be allowed back.

I'm also going to drop gym because we don't do anything in it, they actually went golfing... I prefer not to ruin my walks.

But math was fun and cheered me up.

And we're going to get into the machine shop soon, MLP beltbuckle here I come.

You should report him for that, if he was swearing at least.

And, a lot of people don't think the death penalty should be allowed back, me included...

I just got home today, and I'm incredibly exhausted. I thought senior year was supposed to be relaxing! Yes, I'm too tired to read the current conversation but not too tired to disrupt it.

When I said my timetable wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, I spoke too early.

I was put in the wrong science, but I've since been moved now to GCSE Science, which is better. However, like I said before, the class I'm in now has already done their Biology, and I haven't, so I'm gonna have to catch up on the whole of that in my own time. Still, better than doing BTEC Science with all the people with negative IQs. I felt rather nerdy today in science though, as I figured out an equation in about 10 seconds after looking at it, and it took everyone else around 10 minutes to figure it out. We also did an experiment today, the usual acid mixing thing, typical chemistry stuff.

But my art is terrible. There's 11 of us and it's BTEC art, when I chose Fine Art which is GCSE art. For those unfamiliar with BTEC, it's a system where you are given a set list of things to complete. You can either get a Pass which is equivalent to a C, a Merit which is a B, or a Distinction which is an A. In art this list of things to do is pretty damn big, plus we've got to add in our own stuff too. If you don't complete one of them, you fail the whole thing. Even if you did everything else on the list with straight Distinctions, you'd still fail the whole thing if you missed just one thing on the list. Now, I don't like the way BTEC works, which is why I chose GCSE. But with my luck, I was dropped into BTEC. I told my art teacher about this, and she just looked at me like, "Oh. How strange." and that was that. I can't count how many times my school has ignored me.

This morning I started with IT, which is now a mandatory subject, and that's also set out in the BTEC style, although that's just the way IT is. There is no GCSE alternative of it, so I can't really complain. Although on my timetable, my friend in English cleverly altered it to say, 'TITZ'. So, this morning, I had TITZ first. Excuse language.

Resistant Materials isn't really fun anymore. I came in feeling optimistic, not letting the fact I was the only girl in there get me down. Which it isn't, as I'm used to being the only girl. In fact, I get along better with boys than I do girls sometimes. Although I feel like... hmm... I'm in their way. I feel like I'm preventing them from 'being boys'. Not that I would stop them, I mean, they seem happy being boys when there's loads of girls in the class. Just annoys me that the other two girls in my year who took Resistant Materials are in the same class together, but my school decided it seperate me, again. I've also been seperated in 'Sports Leadership'. Gonna be on my own again.

I think all my posts in this thread are rants. I'm not a negative person.... honest. Just my school is.

 

[E28]

Katiegan, since IT is a compulsory subject in your school, how many lessons do you have? It's compulsory in mine, and everyone does 1 lesson (1 hour) a fortnight.

Also, what year are you in? I'm Year 10.

Turns out TV & Film may not be as bad as I may have put it yesterday...
It was as if something clicked today, and all the menus, key commands, etc. just worked. No matter what I did yesterday, nothing happened. I've finally gotten to film my news broadcast (after spending 5 minutes fussing about the font size on the teleprompter ), and I made good progress on our "Chromakey Commotion" project. That said, some of the stuff is still hard to get into, but that can be attributed to the fact that it takes a while for technology stuff to "click" with me. So yeah, maybe it's not so bad after all...

School (6th Form) I would say is going well. Kept the same timetable from last year, which is great, day off on Thursday's However, A2 is another jump up from AS, especially in Physics. But aside from that, it's sort of good to be back, though the works much harder, it is the last year finally.

Driving down to the gravel parking area by Sports med, Pull a massive handbrake turn, because SOME girls(The one I had in my car) think it's cool.

About 50 yards away "IF I CATCH YOU DOING THAT AGAIN I'LL REPORT YOU TO ADMINISTRATION!"

"Yeah, sorry!"

-Walk into class

"Worth it"

Just say you were doing a scene for grand theft auto. It always works

Yeah pretty easy lol.



We have a small shop. We have four 2 post lifts and one 4 post. Operation is pretty simple, press a button to lift, pull 1 levers to drop on a lock, and hold the other to drop it to the floor.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

My tech class is actually a pretty big class. Theres six lifts, an alignment rack, and a space in front of the lifts where you can pull others in. It's like an actual shop, just a bit smaller overall.

My French class was awesome today. We listened to the Beatles.

That's how mine is. This year I have about 15 people in the PM class, about 40 overall between AM and PM this year. Last year we had 53. I do have alginment stuff as well. Theres a big open area with a floor drain in the middle for pulling in cars, and yeah mine runs like a real shop also. Too bad half the shop is covered up by a damn Cube van lol

 

[alexlam24]

Well today went great. Japanese class was funny, American history was ok, I ran a mile in gym with ease and I got a new book in English class

Haha. I have about 26/27 people in my class, about the same in the PM class. What sucks for people like me who actually want to learn this stuff is how those dumbasses ruin it since they just take it because it seems better than an art class or something. Pisses me off since they waste time and act like asses.

 

[alexlam24]

Don't say dumba*** please

 

[Bopop4]

You should report him for that, if he was swearing at least.

I wouldn't report him for swearing, years ago he would've beaten me to a bloody pulp.

And why would you spend the money to keep someone alive who is beyond a shadow of a doubt guilty? Like that European guy who killed 75 people, and said that he would kill more, lots of evidence too.

I would imagine that when you get your job, the chances of seeing people like this would be close to nothing. People like this are only in your class because one, they couldn't get a free block, and two, because anything else requires too much work. I can't imagine the consequences for these people to be too severe. On the other hand, if there are people who act like idiots at work, they'll get the chance of getting fired, and chances are that nobody wants that.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

^ Yea true. Most of em I think just took the class since they took two classes they actually wanted and had one left to choose. For the first semester of tech you have to try three courses for half a semester and then choose which one you want. Plus yea, if they acted like they to their boss they would certainly get fired. I'm hoping they don't stick around for the rest of the years I'm (hopefully) there. At most five kids in the class actually want to be an auto mechanic.

Also, what year are you in? I'm Year 10.

I had it first period today too, so about twice a week or so. I used to only have it once every two weeks.

I'm in Year 10 too! Only feels like yesterday I was a Year 7 o_O. I don't feel tall enough to be a Year 10, to be honest.

Like I said above, I had IT first today, and to be completely honest, I didn't do much. We had to make some addresses and letters to send to customers for our businesses, because the topic we've been on for the past year is business, and I think that's all it is. I also introduced the guy who sits next to me to the great world of 'ermahgerd' memes.

I had Sports Leadership today, and all we did was sit down, talk about what it was, watch a clip of a PE teacher in the 70's, and how to maintain spaghetti nosed hyperactive 7 year olds. Bleh. I cannot control children at all, and we're supposed to be teaching these kids sports. There's a junior school right next to my high school so it's all those kids from there. I hate kids, too. I'll probably get the group of ones that have major ADHD and just run riot, and then I'll chase after them like a lost farmer trying to herd sheep or something.

And yeah, it feels so recently, yet also so long ago, that I was the little kid starting there.

And, if you hate children, why'd you do sports leaders?

I didn't! Everyone has to do it.

I received my class ring today. Very nice, has an alexandrite gemstone in it. Wish I could post a picture of it.

My pre-calc teacher gave us an open-note, open-textbook quiz today. Easiest quiz ever, other than the 4 quizzes we've had in US history so far.
