I had an E when I originally did Maths back in 2004, but this time round I had a D. I suppose there's hope yet for when I next resit it...

In terms of my collegeness, now I'm back from Canada, I'll be able to enroll tomorrow afternoon. I'll be starting my new Performing Arts course on the National Diploma (was on 1st Diploma last year) and I'm gonna start working my arse off again! Looking forward to it, I enjoyed last year (for the most part) and I feel that after 9 weeks or so of doing bugger-all, I'm really up for it! ;D Can't wait to do more acting, it feels like its been ages!

Well, my first day of high school is officially over. And an interesting one it was too!
My bus comes at approx. 6:30 EST. School starts at 7:00 EST. I have Physical Science, then English, Advanced Geometry, and World History & Cultures. Then comes a 1/2 hour lunch, then Advanced French II and PE. I have to say my best teacher is my English teacher. He tries to be gangsta about everything people say, but it's funny as hell (not like Vanilla Ice; he doesn't dress the part). Plus I'm going to a brand-new school. There's a few bells and whistles missing (seeing as it was literally finished a few weeks ago), but overall the only thing I can't warmly praise are the combination locks (the dial, turn-left-then-right-and-back-again type, not the ones where you simply move three numbers horizontally into place.) To me they are a royal pain in the ass.
But overall, it's a great school, and I look forward to the next year and beyond!

Yeugh, I just started Grade 12. I've found out my whole schedule, but this first day was just the homeroom period. I've got a teacher I know from last year, and in the same room as last year too, but none of my friends are in the class. In fact, I barely know anyone in the class, which is really rare by Grade 12. Plus I used to like the girl who sits next to me, back in Grade 8, which is terrible because we're really awkward around each other. Also, I think my best friend is drifting away from me, but I'm not so concerned about that-- it might just be paranoia on my part.
If I recall correctly, I'm always pretty miserable the first couple of days of school though, so whatever. Hopefully by this time next week I'll be okay.

I've started my junior year of college last week. 6 courses this semester and I'm already starting to feel the toll it's taking on me. Hopefully I'll be able to juggle my work and time here on the forum to stay up to date with everything.

First day back was, an ok blast for me really. Gotta hug from one of my crushes, hung out with people I haven't seen in 2 months. I have Strats, Lunch, Art, Natural Hazards, and Earth Sciences. Grade 12 will be a breeze if I keep the marks cranked up.

First day of school was quite good. Nobody in my class is new (all people that I knew from last year) so that makes it a bit easier; my teacher is really nice (for a bald/ginger guy ) and we were all given our own laptops (sweeeeet!). All the lunch served on the day was free and now, an obvious bonus, I get to call all of my previous teachers by their first names. Total number of teachers upset by the names I called them otherwise? Five. Weird thing of the day: It seems that loads of people have broken up with their crushes or partners recently, me included. Wishful thinking, but perhaps this could be a chance to score with someone I knew before, but couldn't get to because they had a b/gf? Fingers crossed!

Started my junior year of college.
I've got five courses at the moment, and I've been working my butt off. I'm ready to be done with college and become a starving artist.

I officially start on Thursday, but I've already spent half of last week in a 'Base' class. As terrible as I originally expected. Now I have people demanding art requests, three comics to work on, to re-download my entire music library (oddly, most of the files stopped working the other day, so I've had Limewire and its 'Needs more Sources' staring at me lately), create another portfolio and NOW I've decided to do two small fan-dubs of Digimon Savers and Samurai Pizza Cats...
... I need a holiday....

I started school on the 5th. It wasn't quite as bad as I thought it would be, but it still sucks to be back at school. My teachers are alright overall, but my biology teacher gives homework on weekends. -_- And of course, the drama has already started. This person hates that person, etc...I honestly see no need for it. I'll be happy enough just to get through this year as well as my junior and senior year. 2010 will be a great year for me; graduation time.

I went back to College again (for the 4th time) just last week, but it was mostly re-introduction. As of tomorrow, I start proper.

4 times? Can't enough of college, eh? I would think once is enough for most people JK dude. Hopefully, it'll be a nice return for you.

Started my senior year of high school last Thursday. Things have been pretty light so far, but I'm expecting things to really kick into gear this week. I'll also be sending applications for college in the upcoming months, and taking the SAT's again as well. So yeah, things should get rather interesting for me soon.

The senior year is usually the most fun time in high school. The main thought on everyone's minds is generally graduation!

Indeed, graduation is the best thing about being a senior XD Being freed!!!! XD
Though I can't speak of my graduation with that much vigour, all I remember is a long, boring ceremony where I was one of the unlucky last ones to be called... and it was a record 101 degrees that day! I sure enjoyed the 18 months off though XD

I started school just last month. My favorite class is Web Design, and after about a month, I finally got a website up! ;D www.rnwolf.bravehost.com/It just has some school stuff on it, but it'll get better...eventually. I also have Physics (failing) and Algebra II (getting better). I actually have my Geometry teacher from last year as my Algebra II teacher this year. ;

Ah, I've got to do Web Design. I've also gotta do Photography, Newspaper/Magazine Analysis, Film Studies etc. Looking forward to Film Studies and the Video Game units though, I'm quite the expert in these fields, if I do say so myself. >:3

School is OVER...sort of! All classes are finished anyway. Graduation yesterday was very emotional; a reminder of how hard we'd all worked to get to where we were, and all that we've come through. But then again, after this year, I'm looking forward to a break! So now it's just the exams
