she's giving us a quiz every week and at the end of every class, we have to hand in a sheet of paper saying what we did and didn't understand and listing any contributions we made to the class discussion. Kill me now.

Holy crap! My lovely 8 am is my Business and Professional Speaking class meaning I'm goin going to have to dress up and give presentations. But your class sounds like hell compared to that.

Yeah,s ame thing at my school. not that most people who decide they want to leave don't just walk out, but you're supposed to go through the whole big ordeal.

Ha, my senior year I just got up and left all the time. I even showed up to school once during 'senior week' before graduation... on accident because I thought we had a rehearsal or something. I just walked home (it being a 10 minute walk if you walked very slowly).

My high school was like prison, I swear. We couldn't leave the building without permission and all, and they patroled the hallways like MAD.

One time last year, my sister and her friends left at lunchtime to go to the beach for the afternoon. At their school, you're supposed to sign out, but they don't always enforce it. So they had a lovely afternoon of fun in the sun. Then they drove back to the school, because some of them had to catch the bus home. The principal met them at the front doors, ha! My sister was like, "It was so scary! I thought I was in so much trouble." He just gave them a warning. But they learned their lesson: If you leave during the day, DON'T go back later on!!

We had hallway monitors too. We also weren't allowed to leave the cafeteria during lunch, but I somehow managed to get down to the bandroom *everyday*.

I miss being a high school bandgeek. (I need to remember to bring my flute up to school... yeah.)

Heh, I actually have to give a couple of presentations in my 8 AM class from hell too.

My high school was very strict about not letting students leave the building. The only people who were allowed to leave the building during the school day were seniors (because we all had to take courses at the college our high school was affiliated with) or people who had last period free some days because they took bowling gym. Those groups of students had program cards that were a different color than everyone else's (you had to have your program card with you at all times and show it to the security guards when entering or exiting the building, or you got a referral).

The good news is that my packed Tues-Thurs schedules are no more.

The bad news is that I had to drop an elective and the class replacing is kind of lower-level coursework for me.

My high school was Nazi-ish about leaving too. Security patrolled the halls and student parking lots, we had to have a note and pass to leave early, and people with internships had to have a special sticker on their ID to get out of the building.

My highschool was overcrowded, they didn't care. If the teacher marked you absent you got an automated phone call home. I got calls even when I went to the class so on the odd occasion that I would skip I would lie and said that the teacher marked it wrong.

I miss band, too. I depress myself terribly if I think about it, so I try not to.

You were in band Em? What did you play?

See...there are kids going in and out the front doors all the time. There's a vocational school downtown, and kids from the city high schools get bussed there...so, kids walk in and out during the day.

So pretty much, you walk out the front door, get in someone's car, or a bus, and leave. *shrug*

My school claims to be tightening security, but no one's noticed a difference.

Hello, darling(s). How was AP bio today?

I wish I missed band. I love music, but I can't stand the class I'm in now.

[CanadianSnowbird]

I used to be in band too. We had such a great teacher for Grade 9 and 10, then she left and we got a horrible teacher who slowly drove the band into the ground.

I'M DONE WITH MY EXAMS!!! HOORAH!
*runs around, screaming wildly.

AP Bio...well, supposedly it was supposed to be easy, but if we hadn't been able to use notes, I would have been ROYALLY screwed, and I studied a lot!

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 2:43pm

Yay for Elphie.

I'm losing my computer today. No bww for a week or so.

I really need to study for my Bio test. *twitch*

Boo! That's awful Nia!

*pokes Em*

I'm telling myself that this is a vacation, not a death sentence. I'll have time to read and play chess and watch my Sondheim DVDs....

*sigh*

I'm gonna miss you guys.

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 2:52pm

*poke back, nibble*

[ElphieDefiesGravity]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 2:53pm

We're gonna miss you! But at least you've already planned your time. That was smart!

[Allie]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 2:56pm

I'll miss you, Nia! Come back with some reading recommendations for us, okay?

[insomniak]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 2:56pm

*gives up on Em and hands her the soy sauce*

I'll taste better that way. I go down well with orange juice, too!

*eyes DVDs* Sondheim or Elphie, who is more entertaining?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 2:57pm

Oh, to backtrack, trumpet, Mandi.

*licks soy sauce*

*pokes nia*

*still clings*

What? I'm practicing for when I have to cling to Adam.

Well, I'd reccommend a good cannibalistic cookbook to Emcee. Maybe that Nellie Lovett has written something- she's so much better than Betty Crocker.

I actually want reading suggestions from you guys. I'm going to the library later. I think I'm going to get I Am My Own Wife if it's in. What else?

[luvtheEmcee]

Posted: 1/19/06 at 3:03pm

Does it include Tuba lessons?

See if they have Reckless, nia.
