Because everyone knows you have to rant at school the first week or you will not survive.

Mine's not so bad this year:

(I didn't make that just to post here. I am not that hardcore. Also, I don't think it's that big, but my definition of a normal monitor size is a little off, so if it's stretching your screen tell me and I'll link instead.)
 
Week 1
Monday - Maths, Assembly, Maths, Computing, Computing
Tuesday - Physics, Physics, Maths, Maths, Maths
Wednesday - Nothing :D Although if I decide to do Chemistry then I'll have double that here.
Thursday - Computing, Computing, Maths, Physics, Physics
Friday - Maths, then all free periods. (although Chemistry would go here if I do that too)

Week 2
Monday - Same as week 1
Tuesday - Physics, Physics, Free, Maths, Maths
Wednesday - Same as week 1
Thursday - Computing, Computing, Free, Physics, Physics
Friday - Same as week 1

Although apparently I'm supposed to be having two more maths lessons a week, but the teacher can't make it to a Wednesday or Friday one, so they'll have to be placed somewhere else. You can never have enough maths!

And I'm thinking about taking Chemistry too, but the number of free periods to mess around in to use for homework would decrease, and I'm not sure if I can cope with another subject D:
 
I have a shitty two week timetable this year... and classes are now an hour long as oppossed to the former 45 mins :|
and the politics class I was meant to take was full. Yay.

so I only have 3 classes and a crapload of frees

oh the 2 red lines are break (20 mins) and lunch (50 mins)

Only about six people that I know of are doing five. The teachers advise me against it too. I'm still thinking about it though as it's not too late. But yeah, it isn't really much but we're supposed to be doing extracurricular activities or homework (which is pretty heavy, as we've only been back for a couple of days and a lot of people are already behind) during the free periods so that's probably why there aren't many people doing more than four.

I'll probably try doing five for a couple of weeks but drop one if it gets too much. Is five still wtf worthy?

The online timetables don't differentiate Biology, Chemistry and Physics (Which is ridiculous because everything else does). On Monday 1, it's Biology, Tuesday 1 is Chemistry, Wedneday 1 is Physics, Friday 1 is Chemistry again, Monday 2 is Biology, Tuesday 2 is Physics, Wednesday 2 is Chemistry and Physics in order, Friday 2 is Biology.

Mostly I am bitter because UK students get away with three subjects and I have to do six and do excellently in all of them to even have a chance of going somewhere nice.
 
No block schedule here!

1. Lit
2. Math
3. Science
4. Debate
5. AP Spanish
6. Global Studies

The school fucked up and gave me AP Spanish instead of AP French, which I was supposed to get (I have stellar french grades and I have been taking French for five years already). Giving me AP french would require rearranging my whole schedule. I wanted to just go with the French 2 class in fifth period and study AP stuff there, but everyone's all pissy about it so I guess I can't do it.

What should I do? D: I don't want to change my schedule because for once, I finally have a chance of getting to all my classes on time AND I get first lunch which lets me chill with some friends and a really cool teacher. On the other hand, I've never taken a Spanish class before and why they stuck me in AP (without a teacher reccomendation, wtf) is beyond me and I don't want to ruin my 5-year french streak. urg, if people had just done the schedules by hand instead of making the computer do it, this never would have happened.

Same thing but with about ten.

Monday: Philosophy, English, Maths, History, Ethics, lunch, Free, Free, Sociology.
Tuesday: Geography, PE, Free, Philosophy, Portuguese, lunch, Free, Free, Art.
Wednesday: Biology, Portuguese, Art, Maths, English, Applied English.
Thursday: Sociology, Applied English, PE, Art, Art, lunch, Free, Geography, History.
Friday: Biology, Applied English, Portuguese, Portuguese, Maths, lunch, History, History, English.

If I don't do well in one of these I'm fucked forever. And guess what's mandatory? That's right: all the science subjects that will never be of any use to me.
This schedule is also probably going to change since I'm going to try and drop out of Art and go to four-period Philosophy instead.

Also Applied English is just English Where They Don't Treat You Like a Retard (Because The School Makes Them).
 
My school has a funky rotating modular schedule thing that will take a long time to write out. First day of school is day A, then B, then C, then it starts over, and so on.

DAY A
----------
1 - Anatomy/Physiology
2 - AP Computer Science
3 - Honors Civics
4 - Gym
5 - Lunch
6 - AP Studio Art
7 - Honors English
8 - Off
9 - Algebra 2

DAY B
----------
1 - Gym
2 - Algebra 2
3 - Honors Civics
4 - Honors English
5 - Lunch
6 - AP Studio Art
7 - AP Computer Science
8 - Anatomy/Physiology
9 - Off

DAY C
----------
1 - Gym
2 - Honors Civics
3 - Honors English
4 - AP Studio Art
5 - AP Computer Science
6 - Algebra 2
7 - Lunch
8 - Off
9 - Anatomy/Physiology

I hate having gym first thing in the morning most days. I also hate my C day, because I don't get any downtime until the end of the day, and they've usually stopped serving lunch by the time I make it into the cafeteria too. But I have cool classes this year, save for gym.
 
FIRST SEMESTER

ENGLISH

MATH

BUSINESS TECHNOLOGIES

SPANISH

God, high school has such long claassesss....... They're, like, over an hour and a half each.
 
I feel sorry for the poor British sods doing art and graphics.

Also I feel rather bad that I complain about school all the time and yet the rest of Europe has to work way harder than we do
conclusion: the British (even Scotland, seriously you can go to college at fifteen????) education system is stupid
 
i have block scheduling. i also have a/b day courses, meaning i do one on one day and go into another the next and so on.

1: computer information systems (or "let's learn how to use microsoft office!!"
2: programming (somebody save me :c)
3A: AP government
4A: creative writing VHS (there was no teacher, so i have to do it online)

1: computer information systems
2: programming
3B: AP literature and composition
4B: japanese I VHS (i thought i would be excited for this class but i don't really care anymore. wtf. :/)

and next semester, it'll be..

1: calculus
2: nutrition and wellness (i.e. shoot me now. programming is okay; if adv. programming is offered during this block, i might switch into that. dunno.)
3A/3B: same
4A/4B: same

kind of bummed, actually. nutrition, programming, and CIS are classes i'm in because i had to fill in empty space. they cancelled music theory and a class devoted entirely to the civil war, while sociology was only available for me if i dropped calculus, which i thought i should keep.
 
1: chinese
2: art/bio/health
3: bio
4: history
5: math
6: lunch
7: english
8: comp sci
 
At our school, we do everything the same every day. There are two exceptions: the first applies only to sixth graders, who have A days and B days, and one class is only on A days while the other is only on B days, and they have one period that changes each quarter; the other is for all other people who usually have one class one semester and another class on the second. I don't apply to either group, which means that I DON'T HAVE GYM YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Homeroom ~ Mr. Olson ~ Science (although he doesn't actually teach me science, in homeroom we just watch a news program and leave for period 1)

Period 1 ~ Ms. Blaquiere ~ Drama/Speech

Period 2 ~ Mr. Balderson ~ Band (I play trumpet)

Period 3 ~ Ms. Moore ~ Math

Period 4 ~ Mr. Adkins ~ U.S. History (we have a substitute teacher, Ms. Placke, for a while, though, since he's on paternity leave)

Lunch

Period 5 ~ Ms. Benton ~ Language Arts (or, as some of you may call it, English)

Period 6 ~ Ms. Ehle ~ Science

Period 7 ~ Ms. Farquhar ~ Reading

On Thursday mornings after our Brain Bowl tournament training begins, we have practice before school begins with Ms. Ehle. Brain Bowl is pretty much a chance for a bunch of nerds to gather and see who's smarter.
