For most people, school/jobs are about to start again. I am really feeling dreadfull about this, a small panic growing inside me. I grew up in sweden going to swedish schools but 2 years ago i became an exchange student at an American school. The thing that i hate with American schools is the time, HOW THE HELL CAN YOU POSSIBLE WAKE UP AT 5:00 AM READY TO DO MATH????? My first year was horrible, i missed about 40% of my classes due to sleep-ins, i never adapted to the times. Also the tremendous homework American school gives...seriously, how can you handle it? Every single period i get a shitload of homework due the next day, i made about 20% of my homework the first year...i even refused to do the math homework simply because it was to much. When all the other guys turned in their homework i just sat still drawing stick figures on my notebook.

I have this cold feeling, a panic feeling of going back. I seriously cant handle another year of this, it really takes up all my energy. As soon as i get home after school i simply sleep for about 3 hours then i eat dinner, then i sit at the computer for 5 hours and OPPS, time to go to bed...but wait, i still have 13 hours of homework to do!!! Well, to bad.

I like the school, its fun classes and all...but they are overloading the students with work...i just CANT HANDLE it anymore. Last year it even went so far that i activated my gag reflex with my fingers just to pretend im sick and cant go to school, just because im simply stressed out.

Anyone ells feel this way? Im dead sick right now, not a disease, but of worry, i feel like this is going to be the worst school year of my life. My body cant take it anymore....whats wrong with you Americans? How in mother nature can you take this pressure?
 
I start three weeks from today. My only regret is that this summer has gone by REALLY fast, and I've had barely any time to myself. *Shrug* I'm looking forward-ish to next year though, at least the classes I've signed up for are looking pretty good...
 
I go back to school at the beginning of Sept. But, because of the cut of teachers, they're moving the 8th graders into the High School. What the ****.

:|
 
eh. I start senior year in like 10 days. Thank for reminding me :x
 
school starts next week. but I'm already in band 8 hours a day.

wow. im gonna miss sleeping in and stuff, but dang thats a lot of dread. have you thought of staying after school in like a homework center or something? i was failing just about all my classes in 7th grade until i went to a homework center after school. i ended up making all a's and b's. and you sound like a little therapy wouldnt hurt that much as well. :p
 
School starts around september 8th. I have 12 books to read.

Aug 28th for me. Didn't check the last day.
 
I do not go to school, for I have graduated already. Also, I can buy liquor legally, but I do not drink.

Suckers.
 
Rather looking forward to University starting up. :D

Work never ends, but I quite like my job. :D

No suicide here.

Lawl, nope. I just go to a very good public school, and have a bit of a load. Let's see... three books for AP Economics, three books for AP Psych and AP Neuro, six books for my senior thesis, and a book for AP English. Wonderful :|

EDIT: also, I've never used cliffnotes, and I don't intend on starting now. I'm a very fast reader, and I actually enjoy it. I just need to sit down and get to work.

EDIT NUMERO DOS: I've miscounted. Thirteen. Not twelve. D:
 
School starts for me August 30th :D.

But considering I was still at school working 8 hrs a day for the past 2 months, I only have a month of summer break :O.

As for homework, do your homework and you won't have to study for tests very much.
 
Im pretty sure Jobs dont just start at the same time. Most people have them year round.


And I have been in school since July.
 
School here is corrupt. I should be in IB but I'm too lazy to do even AP.

I don't mind reading and stuff, it's the busy work that gets me down.

Great, i love a person that is willing to learn. More power to ya :D
 
I'm actually GLAD to be back in school.

Wai easier to coordinate with friends now. And i'm a sophomore this year, so having people under you PWNS :D!@12!!!@1!
 
Lol.

Think of it this way. At least you don't live in a society where you have to study every living second of your miserable life, where everything that you do is taken into your grades, where one single grade point can mean failure in life, where 12 year old kill themselves because they got 75% average in tests, where the average student studies for 6 hours AFTER SCHOOL. No, you don't know what it's like. Staying up 'till 4am for everyday, studying your ass off so that you can get into a good high school or university and not fail in your life. Ever try that?

Don't even mention suicide because of schoolwork. I'm barely keeping alive as it is.

"You're late. Minus one grade point."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

EDIT: Come to think of it, I'm not studying enough. Although I think it's my hour and half on the internet that keeps me sane.

HOW THE HELL CAN YOU POSSIBLE WAKE UP AT 5:00 AM READY TO DO MATH?????

Yeah, their doing that here, too. They tore down all the gates leading to the middle school next to our grounds and moving all those kids into our school and then putting all us Sixth Formers (college-type people) into their old school. Its stupid.

I'm looking forward to going back. Well, if I do go back. I get my exam results in 3 weeks, and I go back to school in 5 weeks to have a talk on Sixth Form and what they are going to with me. I haven't reached the designated grade boundries, see, but I've talked to other Sixth Formers and they've said the school will let me in regardless of not having 4 C's or above because... well, ka-ching! for the school.

These holidays have been hella dull. All the remotely good stuff is happening in my final week before I go back, and thats going to London for the week and then going paintballing. :D

pwnd.

Much friends?
 
If you mean do /i have much friends, then yes, I suppose. Schools thankfully give us that one benefit, of socializing.
 
Well I've finished high school and I'm about to start the first faculty year in September. I'm not worried one bit, the class I'm going to be in specializes in graphic design.:smoking:

PS: I'm so glad I finished high school probably the worst years of my life.

Can't be that bad then :)

How old are you numbees?
 
Ah kiddies. You guys make school sound so hard.
Pay attention in class.
Stay organized.
Participate.
Make friends.
Be on time.
Do your homework.
Don't piss off your teachers.

It's easy.
The only problem is that when it's over, if you've messed up, you're screwed.

If you're a smart kid that thinks he's too good for all that, trust me, you aren't. I went that route. Still regretting it.
---

There was this kid in some of my classes. You could tell he was really poor. He wore sweats and those cheap slip on shoes, had dandruff, spoke with a lisp, and looked hungry all the time.
He also spent most of his time studying, appeared to know most of the material, and I bet by this time he has built a good life. He's probably whizzed through college and in some awesome career.
 
Just dont do the homework. My teacher would just walk around and put a check on her piece of paper if we did it. Half the time I would just scibble on a piece of paper and she would give me a check if I did it. That was math class btw, I ****ing hate math
 
Isnt numbers supposed to be praising his country like he usually does?
