What subjects are you regretting choosing other than spesh? If it's that bad you could always change those subjects for other subjects before Unit 2.
It's really just spesh. I haven't touched the work so far, but my class is so tiny and I think I'm going to find it really suffocating. I have the same teacher for methods and spesh, and although I quite like her, eight hours a week with her is TOO MUCH. It would be too much no matter which teacher. At least I have a friend in my class. She's great and I think we'll have a lot of fun. Perhaps even too much fun, given what we're like when we're together. I didn't even want to be doing methods, so I have no idea why I signed up for two maths.
I'm also not sure about food tech, but we've got the good teacher (who we didn't have for orientation, so that should be thoroughly enjoyable). The work is just extremely easy, and no one in the class cares about school in the slightest. I guess I'll just keep my head down and do my best.
Literature is a class of 30, while there are English classes of 11, so it means that having class discussion is really difficult, but a whole bunch of people are intending to drop it, so that might make things better.
In biology, there are a couple of people I know, but literally, all of my friends and even acquaintances are in a different class. That means that I have to sit alone. I got there late on the first day and ended up sitting in the row second from the front all by myself because there were no free seats in the back two rows. As the front row is completely empty, I really hate it because I'm effectively sitting in the front alone. We'll be in a new classroom this year, so I'll just get there early and sit in the seat I want. Then at least if I'm alone, I won't be alone in the front.
I got a teacher I've never had before for chem and she seems good, but she's very strict and quite scary, so I just feel stressed the whole time. She yelled at my friend in orientation about having a necklace on. She told me off for borrowing whiteout from someone while we were quietly working because I wasn't quiet enough about it.
But, it's okay. I love my literature teacher, even if the class is massive, and I think that the friends I have in chemistry and methods will help me get through the year. Having no friends in so many classes will hopefully motivate me to work harder. But ugh, I'm also frustrated about it.
Also, I got my timetable today, so of course I made on that's colour coded to the folders I use for my subjects. I'm very happy with it.
