Ah geez, testing. Finals are coming in around a week or so, so I know that feeling.

@Kyline Ren
Welcome back, buddy! ;D Hope Washington was fun.

Thank you, Fubsy! You are adorables as your icon. :o)

Are all of you doing final exams for your final year of school?

I'm still a sophomore, soon to be junior. My last year of school is a tantalizing one year away!

Dawwww! Thank you! ;D

Nah, I'm in my second-to-last year right now. Senior year is actually lining up to be pretty easy for me; my schedule is 4 electives (with only 1 requiring any actual work outside of class), 3 core classes, and Scholastic Lab (AKA study hall).

I understood like a third of that. Do you have to do seven subjects in total?

Okay, so basically, I have 3 classes that are required for seniors to take, which in my case are Calculus AB, AP Government Honors, and AP English Literature. These are the core classes.

The other four classes are electives, which means they're optional classes that I choose off a list. Mine, if I remember correctly, are Honors Chorus, Contemporary Visual Media (AKA watch movies and then talk about them), Creative Writing, and AP Geography Honors (which is the how, why, when, where and [sometimes] who of civilization as a whole, AKA fun shit).

Finally, Scholastic Lab is a class where literally all you do is do homework for other classes. It's pretty great.

And yes, I have 7 actual classes, then Scholastic Lab. All of them are about 1 1/2 hours long.

Hopefully that cleared it up some! =)

Aw man that sounds fun. We get 5-6 subjects for final year but we don't get cool stuff like Chorus and Creative Writing. Do you get to leave the school during Scholastic Lab?

Im still here as well, just recuperating from being sick for the last two days

Sorry for the late response, but no, we don't get to leave the school for Lab. We do pretty much the opposite, actually. Everyone in a given Scholastic Lab class basically sits in the classroom and does homework, unless they need to talk to another teacher or use the bathroom, or something like that.

Man, not having stuff like Chorus must really suck. Do you have any "fun" classes like that, or is it just purely academic stuff?

@Tojin

My school does offer subjects pertaining to the arts. We've got Theatre Studies, Music Performance, and two or three visual art subjects. The classes for these are pretty small though, only 8-12 students I think. Actually, I think Theatre Studies has only 5 students. In our final year every subject adds to our final overall grade, so you're unlikely to join these subjects unless you're REALLY into it, as in you practise every day and are prepared to make a gigantic portfolio at the end of the year. The school offers IT and Literature classes usually too, but not enough students signed up the year before, so my year level isn't allowed to do those :(
But yeah, generally the people who do these art subjects don't do the more number-based subjects. Majority of students do 1-2 sciences and 1 maths subject. The students doing art are usually more into the humanity subjects, like History and Legal Studies.
I'm aiming to get into Engineering when I go to uni, so to get a good final score I don't really have the option of doing an art subject.
But man, I would kill to be able to do Visual Media at school. Sounds cool as hell.

Man. I'm sorry, but your school sounds kinda boring. =P

And yeah, from what I've heard from my friends, Contemporary Visual Media is pretty cool. Especially since the teacher that usually teaches it is a massive nerd, so she encourages debates about the material.

Also, what's IT?

@Tojin

Information Technology, basically computer stuff like coding and/or making media stuff like videos and websites. I'm not too sure about the details because NONE OF US GOT TO DO IT *annoyed mumbling*

Yeah my school sounds pretty boring compared to yours. Maybe it's an Australian school thing.

Might just be that having neat electives is an American school thing. That or your classmates are all the type to be super serious about their education, which lord knows I'm not. =P

And yeah, Information Technology sounds pretty neat, if not my cup of tea. Shame you can't do it this year.

My school is one of the top in the state, so scores are a pretty serious thing here. Another contributing factor might be the fact that around 90% of the student population is Asian, south and east. Not even exaggerating. There's some truth to the stereotype, don't let people tell you otherwise.

@Cynder Hey there! I don't mean to rush you or anything, just wondering if you know more or less when we might get started :)

I apologize for making you all wait so long for a response, but I'll be closing up shop for this Roleplay. I'll be leaving the Guild until further notice as I don't have the time nor the effort to put into Roleplaying anymore and I don't want to leave anyone hanging

If anyone wants to relaunch this, then feel absolutely free. Just. . don't ruin it, please.

...Well shit, that was unexpected. Really a shame to see you go, Cynder, even though I've only known you for a little while. Good luck with everything IRL, and hopefully I'll see you around again sometime! =)

@CynderI dropped you a PM, take care of yourself! We'll be here whenever you decide to come back
