1)Back to school - September 5th (I think)
2)Classes - I get my exam results tomorrow which will decide if I even go back to school at all or not, but if I get the results I'll be doing Philosophy and Ethics, English Language and Literature, General Studies and Environmental Science. I was doing Biology but no more.
3) I don't think we actually have one. :/

a) when do you go back to school?
b) what classes/courses are you taking?
c) what's your school mascot?

a) Either the 5th or 6th of september, depending on how they do it this year (ususally the freshmen have the first day to themselves but I dunno).
b) Umm... Honors German IV, AP-BC Calculus, Honors Chemistry, Honors English 11, Honors American History II/III, Fine Arts III, Gym. I would have been in AP Studio Art (the next level of art) but I couldn't fit it in my schedule. I also wanna take Microbiology but I dunno if I can fit that in.
c) Panther. Bah.

GEH! Why couldn't _I_ have a dragon for a school mascot?? Seriously, that's awesome.

As for myself, I'm going back to college Sept. 6th. I take two classes at a time, since I'm a full-time worker. (8-6pm!) I'll be doing Algebra 2 (I didn't pass in high school, this is one of those annoying pre-reqs), and Women's Literature. (THAT is right up my ally ^_^)

Blegh. I'm doing Math 122 over here (which is algebra). I passed it in high school, but I managed to do a fantastic job of forgetting everything I learned in 3 month's break and I just winged it on the placement test. I need to get that one over with in order to pass onto an even harder level of math that's required for the psychology major, statistics. Yay.

"people like me who read lots of books are absolutely tortured by having to waste our time in the stuff they make us read, and since the point is to encourage reading, it's worthless. And those who don't read, won't."

Exactly. Reading was something I LOVED until it became a requirement and an essay. Are you in any honor classes? They usually make you do summer reading if you are. And, yeah, it's like they hand-pick the crappiest books on their lists. I found that it is VERY difficult to come up with 2 pages of writing if your mind is hardly into it.

I totally agree with this. I'm an avid reader, but ask me to write 5 pages (a more realistic size for a term paper) on something I could care less about, and my mind goes blank.
Ask me to write something on Foster's however, and I could go on with a novel. See the difference?

Two pages (or a five paragraph essay) was the requirement for English I Honors when I was a freshman in high school. The requirements have gotten longer over the years, of course. Ick.

Yep. The only time I could remember EVER having written anything I actually poured my heart into was a term paper during my senior year. My teacher gave us a list of books to choose from (if reading should be *required* I strongly believe it should at least be done this way) and I stuck with 1984. We were to contrast and discuss the similiarities of that book with a cartoon, comic, movie, or even another book. I picked Invader Zim and just went crazy with it and got an A. Makes a world of a difference if students are actually interested in what they're writing.
