Title says it all. Its back to school! Well at least the first day of school for me was today.
Start of senior year. I'm anticipating how much fun it'll be to fill in common apps and supplements.


If anybody's feeling competitive, post your busy schedule and see if anybody can top that.

    i think school officially starts for me in about a week and i am not looking forward to it....

    I graduate in 10 weeks, and all i have to look forward to is more school yey. Also I was taking extra summer session classes to make this possible so i've already been doing school stuff for the entire summer, i only have 1 week off really.

    That and my final quarter is going to seem super long, because everything concerned with waiting seems longer when i am anticipating something which happens to be 2 quarter+ 1 summers worth of break after all this is over with ;).

    I prefer to work. Starting off on £33k ($60k) isn't too shabby either.

    3rd year of genetics. Today is my second day. My first day only had two classes (2 T/R, 3 MWF). First class is microbiology III and my prof sounds like kripke from big bang theory. Distracting

    My other class introduction to human genetics which is a class for the faculty of medicine and I snuck in by talking to an advisor :p It's apparently very difficult but very rewarding. Whatever that means.

    Here's my somewhat busy schedule for my Rad Tech program:
    Clinic (Practicum) Monday Wednesday and Friday 7-3. I have to be ON TIME in my proper uniform (scrubs and the right shoes and badge, etc.) by 6:50 to get to wherever I'm scheduled to be for that week. We aren't doing a whole lot right now as far as exams we do ourselves, but we help the techs big time. Soon we will be doing lots of exams though. :p
    and 3 classes on Tuesday and Thursday until 2.
    I also work 15-20 hours a week part time so I can have some gas money. It's not a hard job though.
    It's not to bad actually, I'm really enjoying it. I'm just BUSY, no time for much socializing other than study groups.
    But I'm really liking it and being at the hospital. I'm trying to figure out what I want to specialize in after I complete the program :D I'm thinking MRI, but I'm also considering going into the business aspect of this. We shall see :p

    My ankle is still at the point where I can't walk. This wouldn't be so bad, but classes started on Tuesday. I already have four days of excused absences, and my mother hasn't bothered to go get my school work like she said she would.

    Meh. I'm not sure if I care. I'll post my schedule when I get it though.

    Speaking of schedules:

    1st Period: Math (Bitch is mean as hell)
    2nd Period:Health (Bitch is also mean. This is why I ain't suppose to get all these black ladies as teachers).
    3rd Period:Visual Arts (Bitch is mean. And racist. White teachers.)
    4th Period:Reading (Bitch is the craziest of 'em all. Another Black Lady.)
    5th Period:Social Studies (He's alright. Fat, black man.)
    6th Period:Science (My only nice teacher. White man.)
    7th Period:Language Arts (Meanest of em all, some Russian lady. I had her LAST YEAR, too and she moved up this year :rolleyes:<_<.)


    So yeah, this year I got shitty teachers.

    And yes, I felt the need to state races :)

    Got Schedule + Schoolwork. herpderp.
    Blegh. This schedule confuses me. So, my classes that I know I have everyday say M1, T1,W1 in the meet days Column. But the problem lies with art. I have a class thngy that I was supposed to take every monday/tuesday (Well just one day of the week, not sure what it is, since I haven't been there to figure that out yet) And art every day I don't take that. (Art: M1, W1, R1; Otherclass: T1, T2; Which looks like that would be Tuesday and Thursday. But I'm only supposed to take it one day, and art all the others. Plus R1 isn't really abbreviation for Friday, sooo)

    1: Biology
    2: Phy Ed
    3: Spanish (Which oddly, looks like the only thing I lack homework on. D:)
    4: American History
    Lunch
    5: Language Arts 10
    6 Geometry
    7: Studio Art/other class.

    I'm excited. /sarcasm

    I had enough for tuition (almost) but not enough for full boarding :/ I could afford it now but I'm in my third year already so why transfer and have to re-take certain courses? :/

    And so? I hypothetically slept with my pre-cal teacher. How else did I get a 99 in the course?
