High school is so different. It's so crowded! Our freshman class is as big as my entire school last year. Crazy... especially the freshman hallway. Our religion teacher claims that the freshman hallway (where all the freshman lockers are) is literally hell. He looked at us and said "If you died tomorrow and went to hell, you would be stuck in the freshman hallway for eternity." So, yea, the population is very different.
Homework is very different too. The teachers last year weren't messing around when they told us that the High School teachers don't accept late homework for love or money. And they sure as hell like to pile it on! Last night I spent three hours working diligently on my homework and I still didn't finish it. But not finishing it isn't a huge problem, we have block scheduling and I have study hall every other day.
The teachers are ever so much better, too. The only teacher that I don't like is, yup, the Lit. teacher. Something about her just bugs me... but I don't know what. Our religion teacher is hilarious, he loves to joke around. The history teacher is interesting. He likes to joke around in a morbid sort of way. Our gym teacher is new. It's his first year teaching, he's young and good looking, and he's very kind-hearted. Oh, and since he's young, he was in some of the same classes that we're in (he graduated from our school) and can therefore relate to us. The Spanish teacher is a trip. He likes to joke around, but he has a short temper... it's odd... Nothing special about the math teacher... she's just your average mid-aged teacher... The physics teacher is very practical. She'll probably get on my nerves during the year, but for right now she's OK.
One of my friend's, Siri, has the field hockey coach for a physics teacher. I know his name, but I can't spell it for my life, so I'm gonna call him Mr. K. Well, Siri discovered that Mr. K is obsessed with... Pineapples... Don't ask, because I honestly don't know. All I know is that Siri said that his classroom is full of like Pineapple memorabilia (can't spell... sound it out), he has a yellow jeep with pineapple spelled out on the license plate, and he has a pinapple tatooed on his ankle. When Siri was done explaining this to me, she said "Y'know, I think he lives in a freakin pineapple under the sea!" I thought that was hilarious...
Well, thats all I have to say for now... although in like five minutes I'll realize that I forgot to say something or another. Oh well...
