A day in the life of your school/classes

[psychlaw]

YO I thought Id make a thread about the day in your school/classes where we briefly describe what its like  :uglystupid2:


I guess Ill start  We got 5 periods in a day

Well I wake at 7:45 and I'm at school by 8 :D

Classes start at 8:15 so then I get about a 10 minute chat break thingy before school

8:30 to 9:30 Class 1
9:30 to 10:30 Class 2

10:30 RECESS FOR 30 MINS!!!! .... just relax here

11 to 12 Class 3
12 to 1 Class 4

Lunchtime for 60 minutes = BASKETBALL!!!!!! best part of my day!

2 to 3 Class 5

AND THEN HOME (lemme change things, this is probably the best part of my day)

oh and I also have a study period once a day

As for my classes

Legal: The best class... We sit down and talk about issues for 30 mins out of our 1 hour (the teacher really gets distracted alot/loses histopic... its easy to lure him into a discussion that could potentially go on for the whole class, and in many cases has)
On occasions we do work, and he doesnt get distracted, we actually learn so its all good.... never a dull moment in this class


Psych:Also one of my funner classes (despite it being my only 3/4)... we get to class and the teacher really engages us somehow? WHICH I CAN TELL YOU IS A GREAT ATTRIBUTE TO HAVE IN A TEACHER (if only my physics teacher did this).... its enjoyable and fascinating learning things


Methods: its maths (urgh) .... luckily i got a pretty good teacher, its stil prety hard


Physics: Walk to class, sit at the front....... teacher writes notes, we copy notes... we do work, teacher doesnt explain (expects us to learn on our own)... conclusion = HARD and BORING


English: we discuss... books...... this is a good class to do other class work in ........

[Nick]

English:  this is a good class to do other class work in

*Rolls eyes* Not good LOL

My Day:

6.50 - 7.25: I wake up, eat breakfast, get changed, do my hair and leave the house (in this order)
7.33: My train arrives
8.10: My train arrives at Toorak station and I get off (I only arrive this time if all my connections work)
8.10 - 8.30: Get to school, hang out in the common room or do work I haven't done yet
8.30 - 8.45: Homeroom
8.45 - 9.35: Period 1
9.35 - 10.30: Period 2
10.30 - 10.50: Recess. I eat food here and either sit in the courtyard (which is just for yr 12's) or huddle by the heater in the common room.
10.50 - 11.45: Period 3
11.45 - 12.40: Period 4
12.40 - 1.30: Eat lunch and hang out doing nothing
1.30 - 2.20: Period 5
2.20 - 3.15: Period 6
Sometimes I have frees and sometimes I don't (I love double frees at the end of the day on Week B timetable - I get to go home early!)

3.15 - 3.30: Hang out in the common room
3.39: My train leaves from Toorak station and I go home (arriving at 4.30) and I do nothing (or watch Bold and the Beautiful - hilarious show)

What an exciting day!

Ahh, I just realised how complicated my school's timetable is. Finishing times, as well as period time and length, vary according to the day.

So, here's my typical Thursday!  

6:30 am - wakeup
7:45 - arrive at school (dad usually drives me.)

8:30 - tute (homeroom)
8.40 - period 1
9.55 - period 2
11.10 - recess
11.30 - period 3
12.50 - lunchtime
1.35 - Community time (tute)
2.00 - period 4
2.50 - Period 5
3.40 - Finish.
4.00 - arrive at Prahan station
4.15ish - get on train towards flinders
4.17ish - get smothered by Melbourne High kids after passing South Yarra ('tis annoying and happens almost everyday.)
4:30ish - Arrive flinders
4:35ish - Catch Broadmeadows train
4.50ish - HOMEEEE

yeaahhhhh

Yeah same, we have a Friday Timetable in which 5 mins get chopped off of periods 1-4 (thus changing the time of recess as well) and tacking it on to the end of period 4 so you could have a 20 minute house/year level meeting. However, Friday timetable usually ran on a wednesday to create a super 80min period 4 so you could have normal assembly and house debating (or general house meeting crap) or whatever.

Anyway, if you were in years 10-12, this is how it'd look:
8:35-8:45 - Tutor (time they mark off the roll)
8:45-9:45 - period 1
9:45 - 10:45 - period 2
10:45 - 11:10 - recess
11:10-12:15 - period 3
12:15 - 1:20 - period 4
If it was monday, the day stops here
1:20-2:10 - lunch
2:10-3:15 - period 5
If (day == "friday") Day ends here
Else if (day == "wednesday")
3:15 - 4:20 - period 6
Else if (day == "tuesday" or "thursday")
3:15 - usually 4:45 but if you chose sports which involved bussing out this could be 5:30 or worse - sport, joy of my life

In either about year 10 or 11 I worked out that trying various friendship groups within my year level didn't work and I lived in the library instead during recess/lunch. This was infinitely more enjoyable (except in year 12, when all your friends are younger than you because those in higher year levels have now gone ). The head of the library was very nice and we got along and I helped put away stuff for her in the morning before school. The 2nd in charge tended to kick me out when she was on duty xD
I never saw people from my year level outside of school. They weren't friends. Going out with fsn people to karaoke and bowling has made me incredibly happy

And classes:
English - annoying due to the greater mix of people (zomg, non maths/science kids there) (I just don't get along with them as much) but otherwise good
Physics + Chem - grouped as they are very similar (course too easy, teachers were great, loved helping people do questions, was the place I could feel like being myself the most (although this was still repressed a bit, but I *did* love the science cluster))
Maths - Less fun than physics + chem due to tighter adherence to traditional teaching styles (couldn't wander around the room as much, talk as much etc when doing questions) but otherwise great due to it being 10x more challenging than science
Chinese - If there is one teacher at my school who is definitely doing the right job, its her. Heart of gold + not 1 person in the school disliked her. Good fun there

And IT in year 11 - The number of jokes we did in there was great =D again awesome teacher, could get away with doing stuff, generally A++++++ environment

love the influx of 'heck lets post it on fsn because there's no more new interesting threads left' threads

7.30 - wake up
8.05 - bus
8.30 - arrive at school
8.45 - form assembly
8.55 - period 1
9.40 - period 2
10.27 - recess
10.46 - period 3
11.33 - period 4
12.20 - lunch
1.10 - form assembly
1.15 - period 5
1.17 - period 6
2.52 - end of school
3.15 - leave school
3.45 - arrive home
4-11 - study
12-3 - sleep
3-6 -quick study session
6-7.30 - sleep
and then day starts again...

You only get 4 hours and 30 minutes sleep
If I were you, I'd use the time from 3am to 6am to sleep, rather then studying..... you do way to much studying
with that schedule you are studying for 10 hours a day on your own!?!?!? and if you count school thats another 5 hours

so total is 15 hours (of a 24 hour a day) your studying !?!?!
how can you cope with only 4 hours sleep

[psychlaw]

Going out with fsn people to karaoke and bowling has made me incredibly happy

Which FSN people did you go to karaoke/bowling with.... just out of interest

I never saw people from my year level outside of school. They weren't friends.

Yeah, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I was off school for a long period of time (almost 2 years... did a lot of distance ed), as I got guillain barre syndrome (an auto-immune disorder) and was in hospital a lot. I lost contact with most of my friends in my own year level, as most didn't bother to contact me (there were rumours going around I was pregnant lol...) Luckily I had an amazingly supportive school (teachers), though.
I don't really hang around with anyone in my year level. Last year all my best friends were in year 12, and then they left So now I pretty much just chillax in the study centre/library

Most of my friends are either 1-2 years older than me or 1-2 years younger than me

   Yeah, I did yrs 7-10 from 98-2001 [incidentally where Kido_1 is now] and then yr12 at the local public school in 2006. My friends were mostly people who'd gone on exchanges and hence more mature [and worldly] than most. Also, the school was so big [1800 odd yr11-12] that if you didn't have class with someone, unless you specifically arranged to meet them, you might not see them for weeks.
