The new "I Hate School Thread", but i guess you already worked that out.

I've got 18 exams starting a week today with 1 and a half more days of school. I'm just not looking forward to the 3-essay, 2 and a quater hour English papers...

Poor 'slatey. (Nyah nyah nyah nyah nyah   :p)

I hate French. I really can't wait until I can give it up and forget it all. I'm not rubbish, but I really can't be bothered with all the verbs and endings and accents.

It would be a lot better if French was exactly the same as English!   :p

EDIT: Two school threads! What a catastrophy!

I found German easier then French, the endings and such are much more regular. Anyway, Languages still suck!

Crazy foreign jibberish...

Similarly i am totally useless at all foreign languages, i dropped french as soon as i could, but somehow i ended up choosing German as one of my subjects.

Hmm... shouldn't this thread be closed and Lampy's thread should be used instead? He was first.
And the title's a lot better because it's so incredibly subtle...

You know what, just close my thread and use this one instead. I like my title plenty, but people are posting in this and the title seems to flow with the last one better. Besides, everyone likes aslate more anyway.

I'm going to put here what I put in my thread:

Today I had a sub in my Adobe class and kids were acting particularly stupid. Some kid said to the sub "Are all the subs as beautiful as you?" What the hell is wrong with people. And then they played games instead of doing their work(for those of you who ask, I was in #fc AFTER I got my work done). Besides that it was a pretty average day. I got some good quiz grades though. 90 on a history quiz, 85 on a Brit. Lit quiz.

Lampy: I hate aslate! He thinks he so clever just because he is.... *mutter*

English lit sucks because only about 7 people out of my class of 19 know the plot of twelth night and we have to go so slow through the whole thing. It's not my teacher's fault, she gets very frustrated, and she's tried explaining it, but some people can't get the quite simple plot through their head, and they have to, we have an entire question on it in the exam. So we spend every lesson writing out who each person is and what they do.  :mad:

But on the other hand I only know the plot because my mother has dragged me round the country for 9 years watching twelth night at every place it's been shown. Who ever thought that anything my mother did would be useful...

I've been learning French for 3 years and German for just one, but my French has been slowly deteriorating so I've chosen German as a GCSE option. Das ist sehr toll, ja?!   :D

My tutor group is the worst and most badly behaved in our year group. We are very notorious for making our teachers cry and have nervous breakdowns.

You can like computers, but if you want to study anything computer related it always has lots of maths. Which sucks.  :(

I think I'm a left brainer. That means languages rather than maths.

No! Grade school and high school math sucks, real math is pretty cool. That's my opinion anyway (I know I'm weird).

Some languages rock: French is too hard, German is pretty cool and English is just strange. Danish is, of course, the best language. Hope I didn't offend anyone...

My tertiary education ends in 3 weeks, am relieved and saddened.

I went to a language college/secondary school so can speak almost fluent French, German, Italian and bits of Japanese. I was the only one who put down Latin for GCSE so they didn't run the lesson, damn it. That was a great lesson "Caecilius est mortem, much blood flows" ..useful

go Quintus!  :) I didn't  even get past the first book thanks to my school only running it as a lunchtime thing. I swear most of the people were only there due to morbid fascination? hmm, vomitorium and kinky slave orgies, nice!

I've heard of several computer related educations that don't involve math, but they are mostly about programming. More theory does mean more math. Many of the people that dropped out from computer science during my first year did it because of the math. I considered dropping out myself, but I'm glad I didn't - it gets better.

Alenacat: Oh yes. Grummio did get around a bit didn't he!  ;) He was just something else.

I remember in my first lesson my teacher stood on the desk and did an impression of Cerbarus stealing cakes or something.  :D

Incidentally it is my sister's last ever Latin lesson tomorrow. She starts study leave on the 28th and isn't doing Latin for A level. So, because it is their last ever lesson, she is forcing me to make muffins. (for which I am world renowned  :D)

After reading the Babblefish thread, I would actually like to learn Danish myself. I like the o's with the slashes through them(my American keyboard can't do it) and what else I've seen from the language. Of course, I'll always love English no matter what else I learn.

I have an uncle who's actually way into math and he used to tutor math to prisoners. Sounds cool, eh? Well, maybe not to the people in jail. But he is also fond of upper level math such as Calculus, Functions and Analysis, etc. So you're not necessarily weird. Not alone anyway. As for me, I'm taking trigonometry right now. I got a 60 on one of my quizzes, and I think that was higher than my other three quiz grades combined. I've really given up on that class.

Tommorow I have a physics/chemistry/genetics/geology final.  Its all cobbled together into a huge 300-question test and I only get one hour.

Wednesday I have the math finals with the roots of quadratics (also needed to be taken in one hour). That's 250 questions.  :rolleyes:

Finally, on Thursday, I have the Reading/Language test over 4 books, a few of Shakespeare's plays, and a bunch of complex grammar I'll never use (yet again taken in one hour). This one is around 275 problems.  :hmpf:

Guess what grade I'm in!  :p

I'm a total right brainer then. I was average at languages in school, it was one of the few things I really struggled in, and eventually I got moved down from top set. Maths on the other hand... I love numbers and find all kinds of patterns in figures. That may explain why I can learn programming languages easily but real languages I struggle with.

I agree, i find maths really easy but i struggle with languages. I find German really hard compared to my other subjects.

Is it possible to be a middle brainer?

I am average at maths, and I struggle with some of the harder points, but I am in the top set.
I don't really like French and find it quite hard sometimes but I am in the top set for that too. I do understand Latin better though.

Although, given the chance, I would rather give up maths than languages.

Actually, maths is very much associated with the left-brain. Right side of brain is the arty, memory, lateral thinking creative side. Left is technical I believe. Languages must be a mix of both

I guess I'm a left brainer but still enough of a right brainer to correct people all the time. Stupid Danes can't spell.

Edit: just switched left/right. I can never remember which is the math side...

I'm currently doing German for AS Level, but am giving it up once I've done the exam. To be honest with you, I'm not quite sure what made me do it. I think it was because the teacher encouraged me so much a GCSE and that I found it simple to learn back then, but the AS is just so hard. I gave up. I couldn't care less whether I fail the exams or not.

I'm still hating having to decide what I want to do after A-Levels ...  :mad:

Man, are you guys all PMSing or something ?

School is great, nice friends, free (cheap food), not much to do than to show up for class, maybe an assignment here and there.

And now in the spring it's just faboulous, skirts and tops and panties everywhere ! It's like a post from Nurdy in the Anime picture thread, a big fat tease that is !  :D

I hope I don't get accepte dby any high school so I can work at my current schools caféteria next year.

Oh yeah, I have some assignments to turn in to, in the next few days, it's all been piling up until now. Well, you can't get everything  :p

Aah, faulty Danish spelling and grammar. A pet peeve of the Danish PEELers.

I think both my brain halves work pretty well. Although I'm currently pursuing a career in chemistry, my best subject has always been written Danish by far. Earned me a "13" year average in HTX.   :p

Well, feel free to ask any questions you might have about our most excellent language. I'll be glad to help spread the Danish language.  ;)

I agree, college is too like the real world for me, I liked when the only thing to be worried about was being hit by a piece of fruit during "The Wars" at lunchtime.
And there were also no darn women cramping your style (all guys school)!
I could also have laughed at all those teachers who said anything was really important.

School sucked back then and it still sucks now. What other time in your life do you get subjected to a rigorous regime of bullying and general worthlessness during your breaks, and being completely ignored by the teachers during lessons because you weren't loud and disrupting the class, then getting crappy grades out of the whole thing and going home to spend time by yourself for the rest of the day. I can't think of one good thing about school even if I try. I really did hate it.

I might be learning Italian! Some people from my French set are going to be offered the chance to do Italian after school once a week. We would be aiming for GCSE though I think. I'm not sure if I should do it, because with no previous experience and only one lesson, it would be very hard to learn.

What do you think I should do? I want to learn it, but I am crap at languages.  :hmpf:

I wouldn't know where to start really, since I don't know a word of your language. I could go in any direction.

Today in my com class(video), we got this project called In Your Eyes where it's basically a first person view through the camera, so I was with my buddy, and I took the camera and did "A day in the life of a kid who won't stop bugging Alex"(very Onionesque topic), and I was holding the camera pestering him as much as possible and he did things like shove me, push me in the elevator, etc...it was plenty fun. Also, in British Lit, we had to read these "I am from" style poems we wrote, and I was pissed off because everyone's poem just seemed like a long list of stuff(I at least made a creative attempt at this here) and my friend sitting next to me was like "That's the point" and then when I persisted he goes "You're a strange kid Mike" so I wrote a poem to the tune of "Fuck you Curtis, I hate you, lick my balls, eat my shit" and showed it to him. He thought it was funny.

In Spain I learned a few expressions that I needed while on the road but I was only there for 2 weeks and I think I'm a righty brainer so I forgot everything on the plane home...
