    sigh...



    Just got back from Stanford Summer Session. Spent 8 weeks there taking Golf, Architecture Studio, and Astronomy Lab and Observation.



    Senior year in HS starts September 7th for me I believe. So I have about 2 weeks off from school.



    I believe I am taking:

    AP Biology

    Calculus I and II

    Literature Into Film

    Journalism

    Economics

    Constitutional Law

    Death and Afterlife

    Peer Group Leader



    Pretty crappy. Wish my school would have allowed me to take AP Composition instead of two crappy english classes.



    Know all my teachers. Teachers at Stanford were great. Man, I miss that place so much. It was the best 8 weeks of my life

    School year? The school year is the whole year for me. Yay for summer classes. I get two weeks off after this week and that will be the first break i've had since december. I'm quite excited about my break.

    When does yours start?

    I think my classes officially begin on like September 23 or so, but I have two sets of orientations that start on September 10.



    What grade are you going in to?

    Third year of college, wheeeeee!



    What courses are you taking?

    1. Transitions to Democracy: Comparative Perspectives (Full Year)

    2. Nations, States, and Nationalisms (Full Year)

    3. European Integration and the European Union as a political system (Full Year)

    4. Ideology and Political Critique (Spring)

    5. Theories of the Self (Fall)

    6. Case Studies in Ethnic Conflict: Ireland and Northern Ireland (Spring)

    7. The American Century: The United States since 1900 (Fall)



    And the best part about this schedule is that in the fall, the classes only meet Monday - Wednesday. Heheh, four day weekend for me.





    The upcoming school year is particularly exciting for me because I'm forsaking the beautiful scenery and landscape of Santa Barbara and studying abroad in London for the year. I'm counting down the days.



    Edit: As long as some people are putting in links to there schools:

    Have you met your teachers/professors? Are they nice?

    Spanish teacher sucks she is so spacey I passed her class last year even though I was completly utterly disruptive loud and social. I passed all the tests though

    The Bio teacher is ausome, and famous. He is really nice, but strick gotta get your work in and what nots.

    The earth science teacher is only in her second year so. . . she is soso. She is the first teacher at our school to teach a regents course, and to teach it to the first class of ninth graders being forced to take them. . .

    English teach is okay

    Social studies teacher kicks all ass

    Math teacher is good and famous, but has something against me.

    Hey xionja



    F8CK....school....dont remind me folks. I got like a month until I go down there, then class starts September 25th. I'm nervous and stressin about goin to college, it's gonna suck. I'll probably fail out. How long do I expect to be in college for? A year. I expect that because a)my business venture will big & b) I'll be going head to head with Mr. Woods in majors. Besides, I don't like school...never have. I'm going to be a freshman at the University of Cincinnati. Probably gonna be majoring in journalism.....minor or double major in economics/business. Who am kidding? I have no clue honestly. Thank god I'm outta that crap high school and away from my crap parents. Maybe I'll get lucky and won't have to go to any of my classes.

    When does yours start?

    Sometime in mid September. Best Guess: 14th. I have to be there on the 5th, though, to take care of some events for the freshman. Hopefully I'll live within water-balloon-slingshot range of Lauren Bush, <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />



    What grade are you going in to?

    Junior year, Princeton University, Electrical Engineering



    What courses are you taking?

    Ahh. . .

    ELE301

    ELE375

    COS217

    COS495

    PSY255



    301 is "Signal Processing," 375 is "Computer Architecture I," COS217 is a programming class, COS495 is an easy one that deals with imax video, and PSY255 has something to do with brains.



    As you can tell, I'm very geared up for my non-departmentals. 495 should be fun. I'm taking 217 and 255 to fill various requirements.



    Have you met your teachers/professors? Are they nice?

    301: yes. In one word, "pain."

    375: yes. In one word, "sympathetic"

    217: no

    495: yes. This class is supposed to be a diversion that gets credit. The prof treats it the same way. Should be fun.

    255: no. But I've heard the word is "hyper." That's good, because I like hyper.

    Seems like you get to choose your own classes more freely Paul. We basically go on a set class requirement for each major? Excited? Hmm...not I. My high school had like 2000 or so, college is like 35,000 (only school larger in Ohio is Ohio State, which is HUGE!). I'll have to dig up my class list to see what specifically I've registered for...

    well there is a BC core that every student has to fulfill and there is a CSOM core that every CSOM student has to fulfill and there is a concentraton core that needs to be filled as well..PLUS if i want to major in something from A&S I need to take those courses as well... the good part is that these courses can be chosen... for example i have to take 4 semesters of a language... but i get to pick what lang I want to take and when (if it fits into my schedule and there is room in the class....) I have to take something like 2 semesters of a hist but i get to choose which history classes I want to take... (1 has to be global, one has to be western) I'm trying to sneak in a history of tech in there somewhere



    My sched is nice..first class at 10:30 M W F something like 12 T Th....



    BC has something like 8000 undergrads 15000 Total (I think)

    When does yours start?

    I hate having to juggle a career and my studies though, it's a real pain sometimes. Not much free time <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />
