well as alot of you know i have been playing virtually no poker and spending almost no time at the forum to concentrate my mind on my schoolwork for the next 10 months.
all is going to plan so far. i have great teachers and subjects and friends and it has so far seemed like fun not work.
i did my first assesment about a week ago on the hero journey in english, basically about the hero's journey in film and literature.
tommorow i have an ancient history essay in class:
"explain the origins and purpose of the Delian League".
its actually very interesting. i love learning all about stuff that happened all that time ago and to learn that alot of the reasons for war back then are still employed now.
i would have taken modern history as well (history from about 100 years ago like the world wars and such) but one of the teachers is the biggest ***** and i didnt want to risk getting her.
i have a great teacher for that subject called Jan Rolph who is an amazing fountain of knowledge. she actually wrote the text book's we use in that subject and are also used in most schools all over the country. she's won like 45 + awards honoring her teaching abilities and knowledge on the subject.
she is such a good teacher too. she will literally jump up and down and sing to get the information into our heads, very dedicated.
photography is going awsome as well, i am planning on uploading some of my shots once i get them from school. our teacher is even on imdb.com, hes great. the class consist's of 5 people including me (3 guys 2 girls) and me and the guys are really good friends so we basically walk around the school looking for shots and talking.
i dropped studies of religion as i found it pretty boring. i could have kept it and scored about 95%, it is that easy, but i just found it mind numbingly boring.
english is GREAT. lots of girls (hot ones too). my teacher is actually in a play called kiss me kate (she plays kate, the lead) which me and the rest of the class are going to see and surprise her.
i have always been good at english as well and find it really easy (well easy enough).
software is really really hard! like so hard i want to rip my arm off.
my brother scored like 89% in that though and has computers everywhere in his room so bad you cant even see his bed or walk into it so he can help me with that. my teacher is my favorite teacher there and is more like a friend than a teacher.
its a really great learning experience as well, not standard listen to the teacher crap on, but rather we just chat and play flash games and we get the messege into our heads.
IPT is cool as well.
my teacher is cool. he used to be a social worker which is the type of work my dad does and also one of the areas i would love to get into maybe. hes a great person as well and is a very strong christian and really helps guide us on our journey with Christ.
IPT is really learning how systems work and how to design systems for major companies. not fun but it is i suppose something worth while learning.
anyways just an update on how i have been going, now i really need to study for ancient tomorow, its not hard, but its just alot of dates and names to remember. anyways wish me luck and God Bless.
