Bleck! School!

It's that time of year... school starts! ugh! Whenever this time of year comes around, we kids shout "head for the hills! The teachers are coming!" I was heading for the hills, but the teachers caught me and now I have to go to school. Perfect (note the sarcastic font)
Well, I might as well tell you about my school days. My Jr. High has a weird schedule that consists of "A" and "B" days. So instead of 7 classes, we now have 9. (see? That's why we head for the hills!) being in 8th grade, I get to Choose 4 classes, and 4 back-ups in case they have too many kids signing up for one class. I chose Orchestra, Art, French, and technology. I got Orchestra, 3-D design, French 2, and technology. Not exactly my favorite schedule.
This is my schedule with a couple of comments.
1st period:Orchestra. This is a fun class, but all (and I mean all) of the 7th graders play off tune. SCREEEEEECH! Would you like to hear that for 80 minutes? Neither do I! But I still do!
2nd Period:Science. This is like your basic average science class, except the teacher is a LOUD GENIUS! Goodness! Surprisingly, it is kind of soothing after the screech of the sevies.
Lunch. Let me put a picture in your head. Imagine that you have a lovely 2nd period (not likely, but we're imagining) and you come out and, after 5 tries, get your stubborn locker open. There. Your stuff is in there. Now you walk to the lunchroom, and find the lunch line a mile long! you wait 20 minutes, and find that they are all out of the stuff that actually looks like what it was supposed to be! You grab your mac and Cheese (or whatever it is) and you sit down. Your friends are the loudest bunch there! So you sit there and drink your food (or gnaw on) for half an hour. That's my average lunch.
4th Period:History. This is a better class. It is my favorite. The teacher is funny, and we learn really neat stuff. And we make fun of the Cheerleaders. (have you ever seen their flag salute? Why do they always go so slowly while doing those unnecessary moves?)
THE NEXT DAY
5th Period:Algebra. BORING!!!! The teacher is one of those people who can't make up their minds! She treats us like little children, but expects us to know what she's talking about.
"Now, because you little sweeties are soooo smart, we really can skip a couple of steps in this problem". No we Can't!!!! And she makes us show the work. Let me ask you, how can we do that if we don't even know what to do?!?
6th Period: 3-D Design. This class gives me a headache! It smells bad, the students are extremely loud, and I am always getting cut or painted on of something else. I come out with new battle scars every time I walk in there!
7th Period: Technology. This class should be interesting, but because of the stupid kids(there! I said it!) It isn't my favorite class. We get to make wooden cars and make rockets and other things, but it is never any fun. :(
8th Period: French 2. This class is pretty much a good class, except when she makes us translate entire paragraphs!
9th Period/Study Hall. I have this every day. We get 15 minutes of quiet time, and 15 minutes to talk to our neighbors. My translation: 15 minutes of heaven, and 15 minutes of torture. My class' translation: 15 minutes of dull reading and 15 minutes of "screaming contest!".
This is why next year, i'm gonne run REALLY fast when heading for the hills. It is really hard to let go of summer vacation.

Sounds like my junior high days, except that they beat us with a cane. At least that was a break in the monotony.

I remember a parade of pimply, loud and obnoxious boys. I loved English class, though. My teacher thought I was sarmt. No, srmat. No, wait, trams. smart.
