A day in the life of your school/classes

[bubble sunglasses]

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.

What school was that lol??? I thought my school was big??

 Bendigo Senior Secondary College

oh man, everyone start incredibly early!!!

this is me:

7~ish, my phone goes off
7~30 ish, i get up and have a shower
out of the house by 8, walk to school (10 minutes, YEH), and spend 30 minutes finding what i want to eat at the bakery next to the school

and from 9~3:20, its all boring boring school

when i get back, i stuff around till about 4

then I do homework/study, until about 6 when my parents give me the internet

and then its procrastination until about 11.

and i go get a HUGE cup of coffee, and say good-night about 2...

or if i cbf i just go to bed, it evens out



i'm so motivated... LOL

as for my classes:
English - I argue with my friend about stuff (all the time)
English language - I argue with the class about stuff (most of the time), and sometimes put in head-phones and do some work
Chem - work on revision questions (in my little corner)
Physics - work on revision questions (in my little corner)
Specialist - work on random stuff, i have a great class size = 2
and my absolute favourite:

UNIMATHS!!!!! it rocks (even though its only 2 hrs a week)
except everyone's too quiet, today's lesson is probably the most relaxed, tho the two non-asians in front of me still remained silent....
so did ed_saifa

[Eriny]

Yeah, what is with the early starts? When I went to school it started at 9am  (and went until 3:10). If I started any earlier I probably would have fallen asleep (more often).

[Rietie]

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!

what about your classes (subjects)
what are they like

English - pretty boring but I pay attention. But I have none of my friends in that class
Maths - have a friend in that class (yay!) but I'm hating maths and I attempt to kill myself every lesson with my pacer (jk). There's also a lot of year 11's in our class and they're all super smart and make me feel like crap
Renaissance - awesome class. I love the content of this class compared to all my other subjects.
Literature - involves furious scribbling on books and pages and large consumption of chocolate (or lollies - depends what people bring in)
Politics - huge class (about 25 people) but it's really good, and there's lots of discussion.
Ethics - involves everyone in the class yelling at our stupid sexist teacher.

My Day:

6.50 - 7.25: I wake up, eat breakfast, get changed, do my hair and leave the house (in this order)

so did ed_saifa

you go to bed at 2???/:|

[Mao]

about half the time (with coffee)
the rest of the days I go to bed at whenever i feel like it (and i am a fair-bit nocturnal, sometimes when i get home at 3 i sleep until 6, haha)...

i dont have a schedule, in fact, I have such a non-schedule that it appears i deliberately make each day's schedule different to the previous day's schedule
everyday's a new exciting (and different!) day, that's how i find my inspiration

[daniel99]

lol you'll get chronic fatigue or something like that wouldnt you?

[jess3254]

lol you'll get chronic fatigue or something like that wouldnt you?

Chronic fatigue is believed to be precipitated by a viral/bacterial infection. You won't get Chronic fatigue syndrome by not having sufficient sleep; however, it will certainly affect your concentration levels and such and such and such.

And such.

I concentrate alright, I always find someway or rather to catch-up on sleep =)

That's crazy. How can you survive on that much sleep? And how can you do so much study???

[jsimmo]

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

Yeah it's something like that.. i'm not really "studying" at school just listening and getting new ideas/concepts.. and then when I get home I do all my work and revise/study, sometimes I go to the school sick bay and have a sleep for 30 minutes at lunch so it's fine IMO
