As of 8:20 this fateful morning of 08/02/04 I am an attending senior of Maryville High School. At least my schedule came out easier than I expected... We have block scheduling, so we switch classes after a term. Periods are an hour and a half long except for 3rd which is two hours because of a half hour for lunch (four lunch periods in it). Easier as in I don't have english and calculus in the same term... For those who are curious and want a story, here's my schedule:
Term 1-
1st period: Senior Inquiry Honors (College prep)
2nd period: Calculus Advanced Placement
(w/ Mr. Roop who is interesting. Here's an example:
2.71828182845904523 <-the number "e" to 17 places
"Did you know the number "e" predicted Andrew Jackson? What President was Andrew Jackson?"
Student answers, "Um... seventh?"
"Yes! That's right!"
2.71828182845904523
"And how many terms did he serve?"
Different student: "Two!"
2.71828182845904523
"When was he elected?"
Another student: "1828 I believe."
"Right! 1828 twice since he served two terms."
2.71828 182845904523
"And he was from Tennessee, and everyone knows that electing someone from Tennessee is the right choice."
2.71828182845 90 4523 (The angles in a right triangle)
"And Michael Jordan's jersey number is 23. NOTHING to do with Andew Jackson. Just a way to remember it."
2.71828182845904523
So now you know a bunch of stuff about Andrew Jackson, Michael Jordan's jersey, and the number "e". Anyway, back to the schedule)
3rd period - Economics (with D (last) lunch until lunches rotate too. ahh the hunger!)
4th period - Chemistry 1 Honors
Term 2 (after winter break iow) -
Spanish 3 Advanced Honors
Math Enterprise (the other half of AP Calculus)
Physics 1 Honors
English 4 Advanced Placement
(Difficulty rankings are: Rudimentary, Basic, Standard, Honors, Advanced Honors, Advanced Placement)
You'll note the lack of computer courses. That's because of the lack of computer courses offered.

I realized the moment I fell into the fissure that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned.

Yeah My sckooll is the same way... The teachers think are only computers "Apples" :barf: are some sort of gods. They scream and bow down when a alert box pops up. CURSE THEM..... ALL of THEM!!!You'll note the lack of computer courses. That's because of the lack of computer courses offered.
So naturally the word programming is considered witchcraft. We aren't supposed to say the "pro" and "gram" in the same sentence.

Last I recall one of SS teachers didnt like him because he knew more about computers that his teacher. Unfortunetly it is so. Our school is like something a mentaly incopasitated readneack just craped out. Our Multimedia computer class is called INTERNET on the scedul list. Ever since our shool changed servers we have had so many problems that I had to be sedated because I got so agrivated I started to seramonally sacrifise the computers to the PC gods. They were not apessed.
