01 Keyboarding
This was my third marking period class for first period.
The teacher is strict when it comes to the typing, but otherwise lenient.
I wasn't even told off for wearing a baret (a French hat) for no
apparent reason. (I did have to take it off though.) I spend most of my
time typing up exercises in the Keyboarding book. If you are a fairly fast
typist, you'll be done in a few weeks. Since I can type pretty fast (second
fastest in the class) I
spent the rest of Keyboarding period talking. I'm not disrespectful:
I just have a natural disregard
for the "Silence is Golden" rule.
01 P.E/Health
Basically PE sucks. It emphasized running, so I had to, you know, run.
I don't like running. It is much more tolerable to play actualy sports -
though I did have to do 10 pushups because my hockeystick went above my waist.
Not my fault. For us seventh graders, we had sex education. It is actually
called abstinence education, but everyone calls it sex ed. anyway. We have
weekly health assignments, which I never do >). I. just. don't. like. it.
01 Tech. Expl. 1
When you first start this class, it looks tough. I had this first
hour for the fourth marking period.
It's easier than P.E. though. In Tech I, you get a new partner and a new module
ever 8-9 days or so. Each module has a high-tech name
(e.g. air flight simulation). But amazingly, I found it really easy.
I got an A on every single module much to the annoyance of Katie and Jessie
*grin*. Woo hoo.
02 Concert Band
Even though I love my clarinet & music, I do not fair well with
placings. Nothing much to say about this class, 67 kids in one room screeching.
Yup. O.K, we actually play pretty well (placed really high in the district
and state festival.) Haha, what more is there to say?
03 Social Studies
I don't know what to say about this class. It is co-taught.
It's an alright class, pretty easy to pass :P
I love doing projects, but we are often give unrealistic time-limits.
They are really nice, but they
treat us like...little children. I don't mind, but when adults deal with
children, they are often very
redundent, repeating "Don't talk" and "What does this mean?". Other than that,
Social Studies is fine.
04 English
Now, I won't say I'm good at English. In fact, grammar continues to
confound me. But,
reading is something I am good at. I love reading beyond all doubt. So, with
much effort, I do
really well in this class :) The teacher is strict about homework, but
is seriously a nice lady.
05 Science
I take A LOT of notes in this class. Not that I mind,
but the problem is I space
out a lot. I stare at the teacher but not really listening. However,
our science teacher does a lot of projects and I love projects. ^_^
However, this systematic stuff is
really..confining. Luckily, the teacher is a nice guy and as long as you are
relatively behaved, you'll be fine.
06 Algebra
If you were paying attention, you will notice that I am a 7th grader.
But I take Algebra because I "skipped" a math level somewhere.
So next year I take Geometry. Anyways, the math teacher is a really funny
and I do pretty well in this class. I get confused sometimes, but I can usually
do well.
