You got a bible as a textbook? What class are you taking for that? I mean, if it's like, history of religion or something, that makes sense, but I'd be mighty scared if that was for english or something :lol: We don't get our textbooks until the first week of school.

Haha, and for summer school I was sposed to pay a refundable on return of textbook deposit. Well, i got my 50 bucks back, but I didnt return the book. Anyone want a free grade 11 earth science textbook? :lol:

Anyway, the moment you've all been waiting for...*drumroll*

Yannic's los schedule

First semester

A English 11
B Francais Langue 10 (french immersion french, aka college level normal french)
C Visual Art Media 11 (no clue whats up with the weird name, its video production)
D Science Naturelle 10 (science...but in french :nod: yes, i took science 11 before science 10, we havent decided if I'm allowed to do that yet :lol:)

Second semester

A Drama Acting 10 (last year with the coolest drama teacher in the world and I get him twice :mrgreen: )
B Science Humaine 10 (socials...but in french :nod: )
C Stagecraft 11/12 (one word...BOO-YA!)
D Francais Langue 11 (excuse me while I go shoot myself)

Notice the no math? :drool:

Okay, you guys wanna hear how my school does the block order? OF COURSE you do, its awesome :D

Okay, on Monday of week one, the block order is A1, B1, C1, D1. (the 1's and 2's are just for the beaners.) Still with me?

On Tuesdays we always have double blocks of A and B, so week one, its A1, A2, B1, B2.

On Wednesday, because Monday ended with D1, it starts with D2, so its D2, A2, B2, C2.

On Thursday, we always have double blocks of C and D, so its C1, C2, D1, D2.

On Friday, because Wednesday ended with C2, its C1, D1, A1, B1.

Then Monday, because Friday ended with B1, its B2, C2, D2, A2.

Tuesday, its the other order of double blocks, B2, B1, A2, A1.

Wednesday its A1, B1, C1, D1.

Thursday its D2, D1, C2, C1.

Friday its D2, A2, B2, C2.

Brilliant, isnt it :mrgreen:

everyone who doesnt have our schedule thinks its crazy, but once you get used to it, its awesome :)

8 classes a day would SUCK! you would have like 20 mins in a class, then have to leave...

my high school had six. we had about fifty minutes in each class.

we had two 75 minute periods in the morning, then lunch, then two more 75 minute periods.

I don't know why schools just don't make things simple like that. We had 4 classes first semester and then 4 the next semester for 8 total classes.

No wonder why so many kids fail nowadays, they don't know what class they're sposed to be in.

I think my school runs on the simplest system: 5 periods a day. And there are two semesters. Your periods get filled as necessary... ususally 4 classes and a spare for lunch, but people get extra spares if they're taking fewer classes. So, 5 periods a day, first semester, and 5 periods a day, second semester. Easy as pie! You take the same 4 or so classes a day for the whoooole semester, then write exams, then get a new schedule for semester 2, then write exams, then it's summer! Yay.

That's the weird part. I think it IS for english.

Biology
Philosophy
English
Math

So, unless the bible is supposed to be philosophical, it's for english. :freak:

Well rob i think the logic is that if everyone had lunch at once it would be a MADHOUSE, so most people either have 3rd or 4th period off for lunch-related reasons. :lol:

That's true...

my school had only about 450-500 students and a massive cafeteria so everyone had the same lunch

we have three different lunches.

3rd period is 120 minutes devided into thirds. So you either get 40 minutes of lunch, than an 80 minute class, class than lunch or lunch in the middle of two 40 minutes.

i guess. we have about 1500 kids though so there's no way we'd all fit into one lunch
