[DAS REICH] Blitz 01-19-2006 07:46 PM

Wow, don't complain about homework. You guys do not know hell until you see what i have.

I have 6 classes everyday.
In Honors Biology, we have to read 10 pages everynight. Every two weeks we have a lab (and afters a 5 page lab report). Every week, we have a test on the previous weeks chapters. And once in a while we have pop quizzes.
In AP US History, we have a quiz everyday on the previous nights reading (5-6 page stuff with 10 questions per quiz). Every month we have an AP style test.
In English, we read 30 pages per night in books like A Tale of Two Cities, MacBeth, Catcher in the Rye, etc. A paper and a test for each book (we read 8 books through the year).
In Honors French, we have a test every two weeks, with a minimum of 50 new vocabulary words. We also get graded on class particpation, so doing the homework is essential. Its difficult because its not English, and you essentially have to fully understand what yoru doing so you can get a good grade.
In Honors Algebra 2, we have a test every 3 weeks, and a graded homework assingment daily. And with a teacher as shitty as mine, its hard to understand this stuff.
In Art, you fuck around, but you have at least one piece of art work done per week.

I get to school at 8 am, and because athletics/clubs are required, you really don't leave until 6 pm. So, after eating, showering, etc., I don't start my homework until 7 pm at the earliest. At the earliest though, if i gave 100% effort for every class, i would finish around 12 am. If i had a test though, it would be probably later. And for those who complain about weekend homework, I probably spend an upwords of 7+ hours per weekend just on homework (excluding studying and papers). So far, the worst occasion this year was on Columbus day weekend, when i had 3 test and 2 papers for the next week. Worked from 9 am-11 pm every day for the entire 3-day weekend.

I'm in highschool too oOo: . plzdie:

Wow with that workload I would expect more from your online banter. I'm not talking about on par with a Rhodes scholar but something above the level of retard to which you so often come off as. gg tho

haha please....

I work 16.5 hours a week (im in highschool so i dont wanna get "I work 50 hours a week" from you full-timers). I read 2 chapters from my AP English text book, a chapter from my psych text book, text pages for AP calc, usually APES, and not to mention novels we are reading in AP English. Almost every night. From September to November, we read 8 novels. Dont complain about 10 pages a night.

My AP Bio class, I had to write 10 page bio labs, and a 15 page (single spaced) Animal project describing EACH phylum of invertebrates and vertebrates.

and yes, im a senior...i shouldnt be doing this.

Yeah, some of my classes you can see what you don't need to do. But some you have to read and write papers for. But my stat class, psychology, and a few others were just sleeper classes. I didn't do much work outside from class.

anti 01-19-2006 07:56 PM

visual culture, our first assignment (1st out of 2) and we only have to write 500 words. infact, ims upposed to be in class as we speak.

Unknown_Sniper 01-19-2006 08:01 PM

Wow.
The more I think about it the more I realize that a workload like blitz has is certain death for your average highschool freshman, yet by senior year its average work.
reading <100 pages a night is lucky once you move up to college. I have had readings from one class that stretch 60-80 pages per night. And when you have three professors that think you have it easy you tend to get lots of work like that. This is where previous advice of "finding loopholes" comes in. You need ot learn to manipulate people, lie, cheat, get things done easy. By the end of highschool I was putting out 5 page papers while asleep. You just have to be able to do it without thinking. OH and once I figured out the secret of essay formats SUCK, I got better grades. I never stuck to those fucking formats.

Machette 01-19-2006 08:18 PM

First year doesn't really matter for college students. That's what most of my friends tell me.. I guess I'll experience it in a few years..

Doctor Duffy 01-19-2006 09:18 PM

I'm still trying to get in AP, though, IB requires a bunch of worthless bullshit like community service, a year of THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE, and a whole bunch of exams. And Blitz, it's about the same for me freak: freak: freak:

then your friends aren't that smart. Every semester of college its as important to not fail as the next. Hell I knew a freshman this year who failed out after his first semester. Do you know how fucking hard it is to do that? In one semester he managed to fuck up his GPA and get a .5.

Madmartagen 01-20-2006 03:33 PM

lol, yeah you better treat each semester like its the one that counts - because it does. youre paying alot of money, so repeating courses or getting C's will screw you up. Make sure you see a counselor before every semester and that you come up with a roadmap of what you want to do in life. nothing like spending 2 years on courses that wont count for shit.

Trunks 01-20-2006 03:36 PM

wtf is IB? I did AP and honors for a lot of high school classes but i never even heard of IB.

Coleman 01-20-2006 03:37 PM

yep, a bunch of people don't think about C's either (good point mad). Some majors, you need a 3.0 to graduate with, so it'd be hard to recover from a 2.1 for example. Many cases, the major requires a C or better in a class in order for it to count for your major. So you may technically pass with a C- and not fail it, but you'd have to take it over again b/c your major requires the higher grade.

thats how my major is. I need a C- to get credit for any elective. For courses I need for my major I need a Solid C to get the credit.

wouldn't it be the other way around? they are that smart because they can still slack off and stay above the required marks?

Unknown_Sniper 01-20-2006 05:06 PM

no it wouldnt be the otehr way around. He said his friends said teh first year doesnt matter, this is not true. IT doesnt matter if they can stay above the minimum marks or not. The whole idea of the first year not counting doesnt fly seeing how it is college and you are shelling out at least 15 grand a year and in some cases 50,000 to be there.

Doctor Duffy 01-20-2006 06:05 PM

I can never maintaingrades.TodayI had an F in Spanish b/c I failed the weekly quiz, but then I aced the conversation test, bring me up to a 96. freak:

Happed in Biology too, I failed my Meiosis/Mitosis test, had a D,but then got it up to a 91 b/c of vocabulary. freak:
