Yeah, we always started on Monday too. But the last day of school was always a Wednesday. I can't believe that it's six years now that I left schpol. I guess I am getting old. LOL

I think the schools back in Arizona started about a week and a half ago, but I know Arizona State started Monday as well. I got an extra long summer this year with the move, don't have to start until the 6th of September. I hate it when summer ends

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Aug 07 :: 05:39

I love it when summer ends because I live in Atlanta and it was freakin' 101 degrees today! I know you're used to heat from living in AZ, Brenna. But here, we also have horrific 90+% humidity. And Code Red smog alerts almost every day. Anyone who thinks Global Warming is bunk should come stay with me for a week or two. I'll show you a movie called The Fire Next Time from 1993, and a documentary called After The Warming from 1989, and you'll go home a believer. This stuff is for real, y'all.

OhGnarly · 23 Aug 07 :: 05:49

Oh jeez, yeah. Arizona gets very hot, but I'd pick 120 degree temperatures and little humidity over high temperatures lots of humidity any day. Humidity, quite honestly, turns me into a raging lunatic. I start snapping at people, I'm hard to get along with, etc. Pretty out of character for me, so I know the weather has something to do with it, lol. I had to deal with a bit of it this summer in Massachusetts as well. It's not fun.

I start my school work on September 10th. I'm homeschooled, so mom usually starts me after Labor Day. My last year! I just had to order elective classes. I picked French, Latin, Spelling and Art. I'm actually excited.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Aug 07 :: 06:37

How long have you been homeschooled? Do you like it? My cousin and his wife homeschool their three boys. They're 14, 10 and 8.

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 23 Aug 07 :: 06:44

Since the end of 7th grade. My parents had it with the teachers and the school and when Spring Break came, my mom pulled me out, and after Spring Break I was being homeschooled. I love it. Teachers wer awful at school, and the school wasn't following my IEP, and I was just unhappy. Since I've been homeschooled, my grades have gone back to B's and A's. It's just a lot better and simpler. My mom writes out all the work in a notebook and I follow it. When I have an Exam, we send it to the school where we order my books, they grade it, send it back, and mom keeps it for records and stuff. Dad kinda just stays out of it. lol He tries to help, but he just gets nowhere. Poor guy.
So, your cousins kids, have they ever gone to Public School or were they always homeschooled?

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Aug 07 :: 06:49

The oldest went to public school at first, but they've started him at home in his 3rd year, I think. The other two have always been homeschooled. My cousin's in law enforcement and he works tasks forces and even goes undercover some, so he's home in the daytime a lot.

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 23 Aug 07 :: 07:10

Okay, that's cool.

herrommance · 23 Aug 07 :: 13:57

So I have been really really busy with school so I haven't been able to get on the site much. Thankfully not too much has gone on

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Aug 07 :: 16:01

No, nothing at all. Only a handful of cool new members and tons of JoA and fanfic discussions!

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Aug 07 :: 16:46

Wow, what a pain in the butt! Reminds me of the time a gas station attendent who was winderizing my car didn't screw the radiator cap back on right and all my antifreeze leaked out and my car shut down on the expressway. In a horrible storm. I could've been killed.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 23 Aug 07 :: 17:09

Gotta share this in case there's any other baseball fans here:

AMAZING!

Glad you got your problem fixed, Illinois. Hope to see you around again.

Welcome back!

magicalturkey · 24 Aug 07 :: 02:13

I just came home from getting my books for college. There's four and put together they're heavier than the nine I had last year in high school. How come no one told me they're so darn heavy?

I hope everything will pass by you without too much more damage, Illinois.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 24 Aug 07 :: 02:51

Hope you get through the storm unscathed, Illinois. And Laura, hope you never have to carry all those books at once! Though I guess these days, you'd just get a bag on wheels or something. Why didn't they have those in my day?

magicalturkey · 24 Aug 07 :: 03:05

No, I don't have to carry them all at once. My classes are pretty well spread out, I only have two days a week with two classes. So I only need to carry the two biggest ones together , but I'll most likely keep the one I don't need in my car during my other class then go get it during the break. But since the break between the classes is like two hours, I could probably go back home and exchange them.

I actually had a wheely bag once and I hated it, I can probably just get away with using my messenger bag most of the time. For my English class I can just stuff the book in my purse... I was mad when I got it, the class I care most about has the smallest book.

domesticelefant · 24 Aug 07 :: 18:12

We had a storm yesterday, even the TV channels went out of work, so I couldn't catch yesterday's Numb3rs Episode, that sucked! But well, I knew it already.

Mutant_Enemy_Girl · 24 Aug 07 :: 21:47

You like Numb3rs? I watched the first season regularly(sp?), but now, I catch a few episodes here and there. I usually end up missing them.

I like Numb3rs? Of course I like Numb3rs! David Krumholtz is, like, my backup guy. LOL I like the show so much, I even watch it in English, even though I don't really understand the math stuff Charlie talks about. But since I don't get it in German either, it's not that bad. LOL

Well my first week of school was good except my english and social studies teacher gave me tons and tons of homework.

Digi-Dragon · 25 Aug 07 :: 23:14

The internet is annoying and depressing me lately- too many heartless people or too many problems. I think I need to get away from it for a few days.

TheCentralScrutinizer · 25 Aug 07 :: 23:28

Awww, that's sad to hear. But I know what you mean. Don't stay away too long. We'll miss you!

TeeJay · 26 Aug 07 :: 00:40

Absolutely. Maybe you can stay away from anything other than this board? Or at least I hope we're not depressing you too.
