School Update time!

So I noticed from questions from this person who goes by the name of "Krista". This person is clearly acting under the identity of an generic unknown such as to retain his/her anonymity. If you have found that your safety and security depend on the secrecy surrounding your identity, yet also feel the explicit need to reveal your true self to me for want of connection or private talk, you may do so. Contact me privately at wallynator@gmail.com.


So, I will now respond to said questions from "Krista". Let me begin.

Q: "so you said you had 5 hour-long periods per day, do you just like not have every class every day?"
A: Correct. I only have 5 classes a day, meaning therefore I could very well have a lesser number of academic classes than art classes.

Q: "do you only have five hours of school plus lunch, or how does that work?"
A: School begins promptly at 8:15 A.M. with our Homeroom meeting. Then the day continues with the first three periods, lasting from 8:30 to 9:30, from 9:35 to 10:35, and from 10:40 to 11:40. Then all students go to Lunch from 11:40 to 12:35. Then we end the day with Periods 4 and 5, lasting from 12:40 to 1:40 and then from 1:45 to 2:50. The day ends here at 2:50.

Q: since math classes are not divided by topics, does everybody in a grade take, like, the same course? and what do they call the courses?
A: No, not precisely. All students in grade 10 take similar math courses, but depending on the teacher the speed and/or difficulty level changes. Each course is simply called "Math".

If you find yourself with any further questions, simply post them here. I will answer all questions presented before me, as long as they are appropriate and able to be answered by myself. Thank you for your time reading this post.



Ok, so lemme give you an update on school. Obviously, today is Thursday, but did you know...today was H day! I've survived my first cycle! Tomorrow it's back to A day. Here's my schedule for tomorrow, if you're interested:

Math
French
PE
LUNCH
Journalism
SPORTS DAY ASSEMBLY (normally History)

SPORTS DAY?!!!???!!!!11?!/!/?!!??!??!?!!!!! WHAAAAT?!
Oh yeah. Field Day for big kids.
So the assembly takes place of my History quiz. But more importantly, it goes over Sports Day (w00t) and gives us some clue of what we're doing. They put up a massive list of who is on what color team. The teams have kids from all grades, 6-12, so it should be very fun. Now go on, guess what color I am......I said guess!





...Pink.


Bleh, not that I have anything against pink, but I seriously don't want to wear it. Just no.


But moving on. So I've learned Life Skills is a repeat of last year, Bio has a bunch of carry-over information (stuff I've already learned that they're learning for the first time), and French actually isn't so so bad. Goody.

So that's all I really have to say. Woop-di-do.

A note to "Krista": I love your idea, but I think I'm a little confused. This is what he/she said:

"you could use your design tech and 2D art skills to create a model of it!
then in your essay you could write about how you're an active member of the exclusive PokeMafia and are using this project to raise awareness about everyone's favorite POCKET MONSTERS!"

I get the essay part, but what do you mean by creating a model of it? Like a 3D model of my own P world? Cuz that would be sick.


DAMN these posts are getting long...

garret holy shit should i like post some questions or something? and like write about me for a change you bastard. jk. so likeyeah i knew all that already. and you remind me of andrew in the 7th grade play where he was the only guy in the pink squad. and like.... yeah. whatever

hah, yeah, this post is from not krista. so...that's the first order of business.

um, i guess i'm not sure since i'm not actually krista, but i bet if i were krista, in some hypothetical world, which in real life i am not...i'm losing my train of thought. basically what i'm saying is that if i were "krista", i bet "krista" would be quite satisfied with the answers to your questions, and that "krista" would be jealous that you get 45 minutes for lunch, although of course that means you don't get free periods.

and, once again, if i were krista, i think she would mean that, yes, you should make a 3D model of your own pokemon world. krista agrees (er...whoops!) that would be totally SICK.

and i bet krista also likes it that she was mentioned in a POST and would not mind if that happens again, haha.

and um...yeah. krista would probably agree that you being pink reminds her of andrew in the fabulous fable factory where he had to go out and buy a pink polo but he was the only guy.

but krista would probably also say that you are her hero because you're man enough to wear pink with dignity.
