Well, September is rapidly approaching, as another year of grueling school will begin... I am quite sure about most of us are still in school, so I am quite curious on how old you guys actually are, and what kind of classes do you guys take...
Here, I'll go first...

Age: 17
'Rank': High School Senior
Classes:
Period 1 - English AP
Period 2 - Statistics AP
Period 3 - Psychology
Period 4 - Calculus AP
Lunch - Favorite period of the day!!!
Period 5 - Government / Economics AP
Period 6 - Teacher's Aid
Period 7 - Academic Decathlon
(AP = Advance Placement)

As you can see from my lack-of-science-class Schedule, I am not very good at science, although I can manage at all the other subjects. I delibrately chose Teacher's Aid over Physics AP (even though it is still Math orientated), I just have a passion for not likeing science... ^^

Well, there's my schedule for the incoming fall, how about you guys?

Age: 27

Routine:
1. Thanking the Lord each day that I no longer have to worry about school.
2. Wondering when the zoo will call. I'm employed, yet have still not started.
3. Eating.
4. More thinking about when the zoo will call and trying to ignore family pleas to ask for employment as teacher. I can be a teacher in summer programs at the zoo. PLEASE -- I DIDN'T LIKE IT IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM -- I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK! Sorry...
5. Afternoon walks for a mile to try to get rid of some pounds.
6. Starting up my Prof. Oak story again over at Porygon's Shrine.
7. Go to sleep.

I also didn't like school. Lots of my classes just repeated things I had learned for the last five years. Why should I pay hundreds of dollars for college tuition when I can look up scholarly journals and stuff for free? I would rather have been the kind of person to just work my way up instead of wasting years learning stuff I knew when I was 5.

Ugh.. First day of school today

Age: 16
High School Junior

A Block - AP British Literature
B Block - Pre-Calculus
C Block - US History
D Block - AP Computer Science
E Block - Engineering
F Block - French III
G Block - Biology

Yup, I am indeed a computer guy. My teacher told me today, that APCS was the second hardest AP offered my school. I started crying on the inside.

But then again, I was really happy to get into Engineering, because I was on the wait list from the beginning of summer until two days ago...

Age: 20
'Rank': 4th Year University Student (Does that have a fancy name?)

M & W 8:30-9:45 AM - NURS 323; Partnerships with Clients and Families
M 7:00-10:00 PM - PHIL 383; Radical Philosophy
T 8:30 - 10:20 AM - NURS 323 Lab section

Since I took most of last year to do electives I won't actually be doing any 400 level Nursing courses the coming semesters. I wouldn't even by taking Radical Philosophy if I didn't need it to keep myself as a full-time student (the Nursing is worth two credits). Still have yet to hear my Clinical hours but they'll probably be Thursday and Fridays from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM.

Ack, I started back at school yesterday, my timetable is pretty lousy really, every day has different lessons and orders etc.... Overall I have 7 periods a week of each subject (40mins per period) which is split into 3 double periods and 1 single period... Sounds good on paper, but of course, free periods also exist, meaning that on thursday i have the most annoying day imaginable... It literally goes, Double period, Single, Free, Single, Free, Single, Free! Oh and I can't leave school in free periods so i have to sit around "doing work" in those free periods...

Free periods are saviors when you have an extremely tough schedule. Even if you have to do work, you could actually choose what you want to do (as in, reading something outside of class then the boring text).
I find free periods are great time for sleeping... :)

Lord, The first day of school is the hardest IMO. anywho on with Classes.
Age: 14
Classes
Period 1: Math 8 and 8+
Period 2: L.A.
Period 3: Drama/Healthful Living
Period 4: Social Studies

I've been at the same school for 3 years, this being my 3rd and last till High school. Drama is pretty much a period of acting, no writing work, or anything to that extent. I'm just happy it isn't that kind of stuff.

It's my first day back today, and my day wass even worse than RL's - I have no free periods. -_- Plus it's exam year, so study study study straight away! Great welcome back. Although, admittedly, I only had that in one lesson. The rest were spent playing hangman and doodling on our new books.

I got in school Spetember 1st, right on my brother's birthday. I like it there, it's much better than middle school.

Rank: High School Freshman
Period 1: Chorus
Period 2: Algebra
Period 3: English
Period 4: Physics
Period 5: World Studies

I dislike Algebra the most and like Food & Fitness the best, since I have all my friends there. :) Algebra is just boring, and there's these people I dislike and try to avoid. Otherwise, that's not such a big problem.

Rank: College Junior

I know, I am old to be only a college junior. I did not go straight to college after high school, worked a few years, then went.

Class Schedule:

Monday
Calculus III (9:00 am – 9:50 am)
Art Fundamentals I (10:00 am – 11:50 am)
Computer Graphics (1:00 pm – 1:50 pm)
Marching Band (4:00 pm – 5:10 pm)

Tuesday
Calculus III (8:30 am – 9:20 am)
Marching Band (4:00 pm – 5:10 pm)
Human Biology (6:00 pm – 8:50 pm)

Wednesday
Calculus III (9:00 am – 9:50 am)
Art Fundamentals I (10:00 am – 11:50 am)
Computer Graphics (1:00 pm – 1:50 pm)
Marching Band (4:00 pm – 5:10 pm)

Thursday
Calculus III (8:30 am – 9:20 am)
Marching Band (4:00 pm – 5:10 pm)

Now, you will wonder why am I takin such easy art classes. That is due to me just choosing tha major. Which, in the end, means I am truthfully back down to the Sophomore level, though I have enough hours to be a Junior. Oh well.
