Classes
<div class="IPBDescription">And the first day of school</div>I just thought I'd start a friendly little thread that won't go very far. I just got back from school an hour or so ago, and it wasn't the best day at school, but it wasn't the worst. My first class was Economics, a subject I find very interesting (I enjoy the social studies subjects). On top of my liking of the subject my teacher is a wide eyed Irishman who talks like Christopher Walken, making him amusing. Just imagine Christopher Walken, but with an Irish accent, if the pauses and the way he talks weren't enough, the accent makes it nearly hilarious. My second period is Computer maintenance and repair, this class is going to own. Troubleshooting, building your own computer, etc, pretty easy. Third period is WoodtechII with a grizzled old creepy teacher who has an occasional Nam Flashback, and fancies himself to be funny. Fourth period is English IV with a short, wrinkly old woman who I haven't heard much of, but doesn't seem so bad. Fifth is Psychology with a dude with a buzzcut/mullet/ponytail, you figure out what it would look like, plus he's a pretty cool guy so that's fun. Sixth period is Art I because there were no other classes open and I got stuck in there, the teacher is an INSANELY bad speller, and on top of that there's 3 Zach's in that class (that's my name, btw). Since Zach isn't a common name, 3 of them in one class is a phenomenon of some sort. Well, there you go there's my schedule, anyone have any odd or cool classes or anything?

BTW, I only have one class this semester. Engineering Economics. Just plain fascinating. Actually it's not that bad. 2 hours a week to learn the ins and outs of how banks totally screw you out of money.
If you guys are still in high school, you should appreciate the computer classes you have access to. The extent of my computer classes involved basic programming on a Commodore 64. "oooohhh look at the cool sprite bounce around the green or amber screen!"
haha, sounds fun.
*shiver* I know those kinds of teachers.
I had a project a while ago where we had to present a great deal of information on the french revolution...
Well, since our teachers were expecting some sort of geoshits, My site looked so professional to my teacher that he thought I had copied it from somewhere online.
I sat him down with my page on disk, and showed him how I had coded it.
Well, the moron decided I was just guessing, so he decided to give me a detention and <b><span style='color:red'>WATCH ME CODE THE WHOLE DAMN THING OVER AGAIN!</span></b>
Thats right, all the framesets, all the formatting, all the links, all the images, and <b><span style='color:red'>ALL THE JAVASCRIPT!!!!</b></span>
When I produced a product of greater quality right in front of his eyes, he jsut kind of stuttered and stared in disbelief. I just got my books and left.
Anyway:
1st: Scientific (honors) Chemestry
Sucks, even though there's a bunch of attractive ladies there.
2nd: Scientific Learning center:
Sucks so far, allegedly a Flash/Director8/3D Studio tutorial course, but so far we're just writing Word documents....
3rd: Spanish 3
Not too bad.
4rth: Honors Algebra 3
Cool class. It's a senior-oriented class, and me being a soph.... Still, good teacher, lots of female seniors.
5th: Lunch
Meh....
6th: Lang arts:
Decent class, taught by a woman with hands so long she can put her wrist on her chin, and reach up and touch the top of her head.
7th: programming:
Basic so far, just Pascal, but we're doing C++ 2nd semester.
Aaaaanyway, thats my schedule.

Ouch! You know what's also annoying (though i think your story is just the painfullest of pain) is that the schools internet connection was so slow barley anyone got any time with the geo-cities program anyway. I had my computer loading it for the full hour and a half block and i got a total of 5 min with it before the bell went.
Classes tend to start at 9 (I get to sleep in on Tuesday and Thursday) and end at 1, and I'm taking:
Math 33B: Infinite Series
Math 115A: Linear Algebra
Physics 4BL: Electricity and Magnetism (Lab)
Physics 17: Light, Atomic Nature of Matter, and Special Relativity
Oh, and I'll be enjoying every minute of it when classes start on the 26th.
